Exterior signs are important for helping customers find your location, but once they are inside your venue, nothing welcomes them and boosts your branding quite like a lobby sign. Plus, if your business is located in a large office building, you may have your name on an exterior directory, but a reception area sign is a must for letting clients know they have found the right place.
The materials you use for your lobby sign can say a lot about your business. For instance, metal signs are ideal for organizations looking to project an image of professionalism and longevity. Wood signs give off an old-fashioned or natural appearance. Today, we are going to look at acrylic lettering for lobby signs in North Jersey and how they can help you brand your enterprise.
How Thick Are Acrylic Letters?
When selecting acrylic letters, there are a few things to consider. One aspect is how thick you want your acrylic letters to be. For interior signs, the thickness we most commonly use is ¼”. ½” thick letters are also used, but they required drilling into the wall for installation. There is a wide assortment of standard colors available in the ¼” thickness. However, we can also custom paint the letters to match your interiors or your organization’s branding. The thickness of the material will play a role in how much the letters cost.
Do You Want a Matte or Glossy Finish?
There are both glossy and matte finishes available for acrylic letters. Acrylic is known for its glossy appearance, which is ideal for companies that want to appear trendy and innovative. On the other hand, when you go with a matte finish, your sign may be easier to read since it will not have glare. How the letters are painted will also play a role in how they look. For instance, if clear acrylic letters are painted on the back, the clear front and sides will give it a nice dimensional appearance.
What Other Options Are Available?
We use the word “letters” loosely when referring to acrylic letters. We can also create numbers, symbols, and logos using acrylic. All of these elements can be cut to match your corporate branding.
In addition, there are a number of ways that the letters can be mounted. We can flush-mount each individual letter to a focal wall in your lobby. We are able to add spacers to the letters to give them an added dimensional look and to create an elegant play of shadows and lights. Or, the letters can be mounted to a panel, which is then installed on your wall.
You may have gathered from all of the possibilities covered above that acrylic is a versatile material. This is why we enjoy working with it. If you are feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the options, don’t worry! Our trained professionals will listen to your goals and budget for your project and make recommendations that are specifically tailored to your business.
