Do you know the difference between an acrylic sign and a plexiglass sign?
A name used interchangeably with acrylic. Plexiglass is a brand name for the material from which these signs are derived. As its name would suggest, plexiglass is an alternative to glass that is just as durable and scratch-resistant with only half the weight. Plexiglass signs' versatility is because they are not glass but rather a form of plastic polymer.
Because of this, plexiglass signage is commonly a go-to for indoor and outdoor substrates.
While there are several brand names for the polymer polyacrylate, you've heard of plexiglass before, as it is the most common. Whatever your need, Foamcoreprint.com is happy to supply the plexiglass signage that will take your business to the next level.
