It has a high tech, sophisticated look and is a good alternative to glass as it is less dense and a lighter weight. Acrylic is also very durable and has a smooth surface, making it ideal for high quality graphic reproduction. The only downside is that it can scratch over time and can shatter and chip upon impact.

Acrylic signs are ideal for indoor or outdoor, long term applications, where image is a crucial factor. They can be used to great effect in offices, receptions and showrooms. We don’t advise using Acrylic signs in high traffic areas where they may get scratched or knocked onto the floor.
