PVC signs are a type of plastic signs that is used indoors or outdoor. Made of naturally-occurring plastic compounds, custom PVC signs can be printed on the surface with paint and then laminated to be weather resistant, but they can also be printed directly onto the material - double sided as well. Custom PVC signs are commonly used for real estate signs, restaurant signs, architectural signage, point of purchase displays, and more.

Apart from their sleek appearance, the durability of PVC signs makes them the most popular material used in sign making. With proper placement, they typically last 6-12 months outside, but that can vary based on weather, direct sunlight, and material thickness. PVC boards are made from polyvinyl chloride and can be recognized by their smooth surface, which is not as rough as other plastics. PVC board signs can be found everywhere - outdoor applications, trade shows, retail stores, restaurant signs, and even your home! One reason why custom plastic signs are so common is that they're easy to manufacture and install.  

PVC is a type of plastic, which means it is not waterproof. It can be made to look like stone or other materials that are more durable and water resistant, but PVC itself will not withstand contact with water for long periods of time without deteriorating, though with proper placement, and if UV ink is used, it can last longer.

PVC is a very durable plastic type that can withstand harsh weather conditions. They are also lightweight and can be easily mounted onto a flat surface as indoor signage with some 3M tape or adhesive velcro. This makes them ideal for businesses looking to save on costs and time when installing their sign.

There is no difference PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride, hence the vinyl in polyvinyl. Some people are more familiar with one or the other, but they are the same thing.

Yes, PVC signs are very durable. Plastic signs are water, weather, dent, bend, and crease-resistant. If mishandled or dropped, they can crack, so although plastic signs are durable, be sure to handle them with proper care. If your sign needs cleaning, clean it with a soft cloth and a mild soap.

PVC is short for polyvinyl chloride, a tough plastic substrate made of naturally-occurring plastic compounds. PVC board signs are fantastic for short to midterm outdoor signage since they are durable and weatherproof!

To print PVC sheets a grand format flatbed printer is required. They are unloaded off the pallet in 48x96" size and fed into the rear of the machine.

PVC lettering refers to the special cut finish on plastic signs cut into the unique custom shape of the letters themselves. PVC sheets are then fabricated with a CNC machine into PVC letters.

Yes, PVC is great for short term outdoor signage (e.g. reailty signs, trade shows), but it is more suited to be mounted indoors with some double sided tape or adhesive velcro as a point of purchase displays, menu boards, architectural signage, and more. Ideally, they should be printed with UV ink to provide longevity to the print for up to two years without fading in most climates, as UV inks are fade resistant and waterproof.

The most common or typical PVC board signs are usually ⅛ - ¼ inch thick, but we offer four sizes. Below is a list of PVC sign board thickness options:
