Signboard advertising generally refers to all outdoor media that convey advertising information, ranging from small logos to large spiritual fortresses. It has the function of promoting self-introduction and can promote and stimulate consumption. Therefore, advertising signs will appear in businesses, stores, communities, etc. But what materials are used to make advertising signs that are more classy and classy?

What materials should be used for advertising signs to show class and elegance?

Commonly used materials for making advertising signs on the market currently include: PC board, PVC board, KT board, hot plate, cold plate, PS board, compre ssion board, two-color board, hibiscus board, iron plate, aluminum plate, stainless steel plate, titanium plate, acrylic plate, etc. As long as the design is good and the appropriate materials are chosen, it can look tall. There is no difference in materials. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages. We have to choose the one that suits us according to different needs, which is the best.

1. PC board: It is a new type of high-strength, heat-insulating and transparent construction and advertising material. It has super impact resistance, 250 times stronger than glass, and the light transmittance is close to 90%. , equivalent to glass.

2. PVC board: The chemical composition is polyvinyl chloride. There is no color difference on the surface, no stains on the surface, and there are obvious depre ssions on the surface. The steel ruler discharges vertically to the surface, and is in close contact with no gaps. The thickness of the hole edge is uniform, and there are no rough holes or cracks.

3. KT board: It is a polystyrene foam board. It is straight, light, not easy to deteriorate, and easy to process. It can be screen printed and painted directly on the cardboard (paint adaptability needs to be tested) ) and spray paint, widely used in advertising display, architectural decoration, culture and art, packaging and other fields.

4. Hot plate: The production process uses equipment to foam PS particles into the 2.5mm-3.0mm board core (one-time foaming). At this time, the board core is rolled material, usually 500 meters.

5. Cold plate: The raw material is PS particles, but since most cold plates have a single-layer core, when double-foaming, the thickness of the first layer of foam is generally about 3.5mm, and the age is half a month. , after the second foaming, place the core on the equipment to foam about 5.0-5.2mm. After the second foaming, glue can be applied directly.

6. PS board: It has the characteristics of high transparency, high strength, easy printing, convenient secondary processing, corrosion resistance, etc. It is used for interior decoration, advertising light boxes, craft products instead of glass plates, lampshade production, silk Net printing, etc.

7. Two-color board: It is an ordinary surface based on ABS, painted and dried with a screen scraper; the metal surface is an extrusion of imported platinum and silver, which is a kind of engraving board. It can be widely used in signage, light boxes, billboards, gift medals, commercial space indication systems, interior decoration and advertising decoration industries.

8. Hibiscus board: It is a new type of chemical material made of polyethylene as the main raw material, various additives, chemical bridge foaming, and single-sided composite PVC board as the main raw materials. Does not absorb water, does not rot, and is not affected by rain and humidity; anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet radiation; resistant to corrosion by oil, acid, alkali and other organic chemical components; sound absorption, heat pre servation; light texture, suitable for storage, transportation, processing, cutting, and engraving wait.

9. Stainless steel: The abbreviation of stainless acid-resistant steel. Steel types that are resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, and water or are stainless are called stainless steel. Because stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance, formability, compatibility and strength and toughness in a wide temperature range, stainless steel is widely used in heavy industry, light industry, daily necessities industry, architectural decoration, advertising signs and other industries.

10. Acrylic: Also called PMMA or plexiglass, it comes from the English acrylic (acrylic plastic), and its chemical name is polymethylmethacrylate. It is an important plastic polymer material developed earlier. It has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, is easy to dye, easy to process, and has beautiful appearance. It is widely used in the construction industry.

Common materials and characteristics of door signs

1. Inkjet door signs

The characteristics of inkjet door signboards are that they are cheap, simple and quick to make, and they occupied a monopoly position among early advertising signs. However, they have their own significant disadvantages. Inkjet printing fades quickly and can last for almost one or two years. About half the time, it is necessary to replace the door head, so in the modern advertising sign market, the trend is rapidly declining.

2. Door signs with luminous characters

LED door signs with luminous characters: The most common form of signboard production with the highest market share. Its main features are energy-saving, environmentally friendly, durable and cost-effective.

3. Neon lights

Neon door signs: Neon signs were still very "status" 4-5 years ago. With the development and application of LED, neon lights have been retired. , there are very few companies that make neon signs now. The biggest disadvantages of neon signs are that they are too fragile, not durable, not beautiful enough during the day, and have high light attenuation.

4. LED colorful screen

LED colorful screen sign: LED colorful screen sign is a popular form of sign production in the past two years. The main feature is that it looks like an ordinary sign during the day, but At night, it becomes a display screen that can display pictures, text, videos and other content. The price is far lower than the LED display screen. This kind of signboard is generally used in restaurants, KTV, entertainment clubs, bars and other places.

5. Aluminum-plastic plate

Aluminum-plastic plate door sign: Its characteristics are that the price is moderate, the production is relatively simple, the color is durable, and if it is paired with appropriate words, add With careful construction, the door sign will become a beautiful sensory image, accounting for 60% of the market in modern sign production. But the most critical aspect of this type of sign is: materials and construction. Only good materials and good construction workers are enough. The two are the most critical. Otherwise, like many doors on the street, one or two aluminum-plastic panels will fall off due to various factors. The entire door head needs to be replaced and redone.

6. Colored steel gusset plates

Colored steel gusset plate signs are simple and quick to make, but the effect is average. Due to material factors, they fade quickly. If the gusset plate is good, it will be matched with Good effects can also be achieved by using appropriate words on signboards. This type of signboard is very common.

7. Glass

Glass door head, its characteristics: beautiful color, smooth appearance, mid-to-high-end door grade, plays an important role in modern door signs, and is very popular. However, because the price is slightly higher, and the price of the workers and masters who make this type of door is also high, this new type of door accounts for 30% of the market. (Safety glass is recommended for this type of door head)

8. PVC engraving

PVC engraving door head is characterized by the fact that the shape of the door head can be novel and unique, and the design effect is significant. The header needs to be simple and elegant, so the scope of this type of door header is small and there are few makers.

To design a suitable sign, you can consider the following three points.

1. Signboard location

Each signboard is placed in a different place. It may be on the roof, on the wall, on the marble wall, or on the glass surface. First determine the location. Only after deciding where to place it and how to install it can you make corresponding documentation. At the same time, you need to confirm how big the location is and whether there is any obstruction around it, so that you can make a luminous character logo of a suitable size.

2. Material Selection

To do any business, you must know how to calculate costs and make suitable products based on the environment and effects. For example, for outdoor use, 304 stainless steel can be used, while for indoor use, ordinary 201 will be enough. There is almost no difference in appearance, but the price is quite different. In such cases as resin letters, you may encounter various problems when using them outdoors.

The types of billboards with luminous characters include:
1. Acrylic luminous characters: This type of characters is mainly made of acrylic material, with both front and sides It is made of acrylic board and the bottom is surrounded by PVC material. This font has the advantages of high brightness at night, smooth surface, bright color, waterproof and energy saving. However, it is not suitable for making characters that are too small and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, store signs and corporate promotions.
2. Blister luminous characters: The characteristics of blister luminous characters are similar to those of flat luminous characters, except that the strokes of the characters are raised. This type of font appears to be more upscale, stronger, wear-resistant, waterproof and energy-saving. It is suitable for all kinds of outdoor advertising characters, especially the whole blister panel, which is more suitable for store signs and image walls.
3. Light box characters: The light box characters combine the craftsmanship of stainless steel and aluminum characters. Its unique feature is that the characters illuminate themselves without external lighting. The production method is to hollow out the text strokes, cover them with light-transmitting acrylic sheets, and install cold light sources or neon lights inside. The effect of using color contrast during the day is remarkable, and the text glows by itself at night, but the cost is high and maintenance is relatively complicated.
4. LED luminous characters: LED luminous characters are an emerging sign material in recent years. They can replace neon lights and are suitable for light box signs and luminous characters in various occasions. It has the advantages of high brightness, long life (up to 150,000 hours without maintenance), high efficiency, easy installation and reliable performance, and is cost-effective.
5. Exposed luminous characters: The plane and surrounding edges of exposed luminous characters are similar to ordinary luminous characters, but the difference lies in the light source. It uses small LED lamp beads to cover the panel, which can emit bright light during the day or night and is energy-saving. This font is suitable for store signs, entertainment venues, etc.
