A Veteran Owned Business
The Washington, DC area is filled with companies, non-profit organizations, and government institutions. All of them compete daily to captivate their target audiences, inspire employees, or win over clients. The Beltway is a highly competitive place, so creating a lasting impression for your business is essential. The more original and creative the means of grabbing attention, the better the results. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is with acrylic signs from Heritage Printing, Signs & Displays.
Acrylic signs come in all shapes and sizes, but the quality they all share is that they’re all made of durable materials commonly known under the brand name Plexiglas®, or the generic term “plexiglass.” Acrylic is a plastic substrate and is a very versatile man-made material, built to last for indoor and outdoor use. It can be routed for lettering, etched for intricate designs, or used as a substrate for plastic signs. The result is eye-catching acrylic signs that draw eyes to your company, boost your brand, and captivate your target audience.
Most people think of glass when they think of signage in an exterior or interior window or wall. But acrylic can be an ideal solution for wall signage for numerous reasons:
"Plexiglass" is a term that has its roots in the brand name of acrylic sheets, Plexiglas®, which was trademarked by Rohm & Haas in 1933. It has since evolved into a generic trademark, commonly used to denote all acrylic sheets. While plexiglass and acrylic share many similarities, slight variations might exist due to differences in manufacturing processes or specific formulations used by various brands. Nevertheless, in most contexts, the terms can be used interchangeably.

The production of acrylic signs involves a blend of state-of-the-art printing techniques, top-tier technology, and premium materials. The design, once ready, is printed onto a specially designed self-adhesive vinyl or digital media and then applied to an acrylic sheet. This sheet is subsequently laser cut to the desired shape and size, with the edges polished for a sleek, refined finish. Finally, the signs are prepared to be installed at their assigned location
Indeed, installing acrylic signs is a straightforward process. Depending on your requirements, you may opt to use double-sided adhesive tape or mechanical fasteners like rivets. For outdoor use, mechanical fasteners are suggested to ensure the sign's secure placement and weather resistance. Moreover, wall anchors or screws can also be utilized to mount acrylic signs on walls.
Absolutely, acrylic signs are simple to maintain. Regular cleaning keeps your sign looking pristine. Light cleaning can be done using a damp cloth along with mild detergent or window cleaner. For more intensive cleaning, specific chemicals like ammonia-based cleaners may be needed. Periodic inspection of your signs is also advised to ensure they are securely placed and all mounting hardware remains intact.
Acrylic is a Plexiglas® material that is available in numerous full-color boards. We custom print and cut 4’ x 8’ boards in thicknesses from 1/8” to 1” (in ¼” increments). Plastic signs are durable enough to use indoors or outdoors. Outdoor use tends to shorten the lifespan due to damage from the sun and elements. There are multiple methods for curve-cutting acrylic. We own and operate 2 CNC routers and a laser cutter/engraver that can produce dimensional lettering from ¾” to 1” depths and precisely cut/etch any image or brand.
