Office Signage
Office signage encompasses a broad range of displays used to communicate information within a workplace environment. These signs serve diverse purposes, from identifying personnel and departments to guiding visitors and ensuring safety.
Materials
A variety of materials are employed in the creation of office signage, each with distinct characteristics impacting durability, aesthetics, and cost:
- Acrylic: A versatile plastic known for its clarity, impact resistance, and ability to be backlit. Frequently used for reception area signs, door signs, and directory boards.
- Metal (Aluminum, Brass, Stainless Steel): Provides a professional, durable, and often more permanent solution. Common for exterior signs, lobby displays, and prestige signage. Aluminum is lightweight and cost-effective, while brass and stainless steel offer a higher-end aesthetic.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A rigid plastic suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Cost-effective and weather-resistant, often used for directional signs, safety signs, and temporary displays.
- Foam Board: Lightweight and affordable, ideal for temporary signage, event displays, and internal communications.
- Vinyl: Commonly used for adhesive lettering and graphics applied to glass doors, windows, or walls. Offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness for short-term messaging.
- Wood: Provides a warm, natural aesthetic, often used for reception area signs, executive offices, and branding displays.
- Glass: Used for frosted or etched glass signs, offering a sophisticated look for reception areas and executive suites.
