Care & Use of the PVC Signs

PVC signs are made of compressed foam material, the high-quality signs have a solid plastic core with a smooth finish. These signs are great for short-term outdoor or long-term indoor use. 

Cleaning your PVC signs

• Since PVC material is waterproof, you can wipe down your signs with a dry or damp cloth without damaging the board or print.
• Don't use hard chemicals as it could ruin the ink or lamination.

Handle with care outdoors

PVC is a durable plastic and is great for outdoors, however, it can damage if left in extreme heat or cold for extended periods of time by cracking or warping. If it's extreme hot or cold outside, we recommend bringing your PVC sign indoors. 

Don't leave PVC signs in vehicles

• Vehicles can get extremely hot even if it's feels cool outside. Due to the high temperatures in vehicles, it could ruin your sign by causing it to wrap.

Common Questions?

What are PVC boards made of?

Our custom PVC signs are made of compressed foam material, the same material as your PVC plumbing pipes is made of at home. The PVC material is slightly flexible, smooth, rigid, and waterproof. 

How long can I use my PVC Board Sign?

Smooth PVC board Signs are great for short-term outdoor and long-term indoor use. With proper care of your custom printed PVC signs, they can last you many years. 

Is PVC board durable?

PVC board signs are very durable. They have a solid plastic core with a smooth surface, they won't damage as easily as Foam Board Signs, however, they can get damaged if dropped or scratched.

Can I use my PVC board outside?

You can use your PVC sign outside. It's waterproof and we use UV inks, they are great for short-term outdoor use. PVC boards are susceptible to extreme heat and cold and we recommend bringing your signs inside if the temperatures are extreme. 

I want to order a custom size PVC sign?

Our PVC boards are 96"x48", which gives us the freedom to product sizes, simply pick the next size up board from your final size and let us know in the comments section what the final size of the sign you would like. We'll confirm the custom size while in the proofing stage.

Can I custom cut or die cut my PVC sign?

Yes! We the best die cutting machinery you can get, and we have the ability to do most custom die cut projects. Here's how you can set up the cutlines. Please contact us about your custom cut signs 888-319-8184 prior to placing the order. 

 

You can laminate your PVC Board Sign; the lamination applies perfectly to the smooth surface of the PVC material. The PVC material itself has a matte appearance naturally.

• Going for more of a "photo like" look, choose gloss lamination.
• Want a matte (not glossy) finish, choose matte lamination.
• Want to write on it, wipe it off and reuse, choose dry erase lamination.

Will Dry Erase Markers stain the dry erase lamination?

 

Since our dry erase lamination is high quality most dry erase, wet erase and liquid chalk markers should wipe right off easily without leaving any stains. We highly recommend wiping off any marker after using it, if the marker is left on it for a prolonged period of time it could stain the lamination. If you happen to get any staining, you can try to use as small amount of isopropyl alcohol to wipe the lamination.

Is the graphic mounted to the PVC sign material?

No, we print directly to the PVC Board material using high quality UV inks. Mounted prints are when the graphic is printed on a sheet of paper or vinyl then it's mounted onto the PVC material with an adhesive. In our experience printing direct to material produces just as high-quality results as custom board mounting.

Will my graphic peel away over time?

Since we print direct to material none of the graphic will peel off the board unlike mounted prints.

Can I make my PVC Sign double sided?

Yes, we can print on both sides of the pvc material. Choose double sided printing in the drop down.

I need my PVC Sign quickly!

Great, we specialize in quick turnarounds times! Since we do all the printing in house at our Manchester, Connecticut location, we can print and ship most orders within 1 business day, larger quantities take longer. We also offer rush shipping in the check out if you need quick shipping. 

How many colors or details can I use in my artwork, will it cost extra?

You can use any number of colors or any amount of detail in your artwork without incurring any additional fees. We print our Boards in full color and no matter how many colors or how detailed the artwork is, it won't affect the cost of the sign.

What color profile should I use in my artwork?

We accept CMYK, RGB, Mixed colors and Pantone colors. We use a 4-color process, and each color profile will be converted to meet the original coloring as closely as possible. 

When will I get a proof?

If you place your order during off hours/days, you'll receive a proof 1-2 hours from the time we re-open.

It has lots of options such as adding text, images, colors and even logos, the possibilities are endless! Make sure to create an account and save your designs for future use!

I realized I sent the wrong file when I received the proof, what do I do?

No worries, this is why we send proofs! If you realized something is wrong in your artwork or sent the wrong file, simply respond to the graphics proof email, and let them know if you are sending a new file or have changes to your design online artwork. Our graphics team will always send you updated proofs, and nothing goes to print without your approval. 

I approved of the proof then realized it was wrong, what do I do?

We work fast over here, once the proof is approved it moves to production quickly. If you realize the proof was wrong after approving contact us as soon as possible. We can try to holt production if your order has not started to print yet. Once it starts printing it will be hard to pull it back at that point so the sooner you can let us know the better chances, we have to stop it.
