Understanding Signage Types

Illuminated Signs

Illuminated signs are crucial for visibility, especially in low-light conditions. These signs use various lighting methods to ensure they stand out at all times. Common types include:

• Backlit Signs: These use a light source behind the sign face, creating a glowing effect that enhances readability.
• Front-Lit Signs: These have lighting fixtures mounted in front, illuminating the sign face directly.
• Edge-Lit Signs: These utilize LED strips around the edges, giving a sleek and modern appearance.

Non-Illuminated Signs

Non-illuminated signs rely on ambient light to be visible. They are often more cost-effective and used in situations where lighting is unnecessary or impractical.

• Dimensional Letters: These are three-dimensional letters made from materials like metal or acrylic. They add depth and professionalism to any business facade.
• Vinyl Graphics: These are versatile and can be applied to various surfaces, including windows, walls, and vehicles.

Materials Used in Signage

Acrylic

Acrylic is a versatile plastic material known for its clarity and durability. It's often used in illuminated signs due to its excellent light diffusion properties.

Alupanel

Alupanel is a composite material consisting of aluminum sheets bonded to a polyethylene core. It offers exceptional durability, weather resistance, and a sleek, modern look.

PVC

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a lightweight and cost-effective material commonly used for both indoor and outdoor signs. It’s highly customizable and easy to work with.

Signage Design and Production

Graphic Design

Effective signage starts with a strong graphic design. Our design team at Lux Label Labs ensures that every sign is not only visually appealing but also aligns with your brand identity.

Printing Techniques

We utilize various printing techniques to achieve the best results:

• Digital Printing: Ideal for high-resolution images and complex designs, providing vibrant colors and fine details.
• Screen Printing: Best for large quantities and simple designs, offering durability and cost-efficiency.

Fabrication

Sign fabrication involves cutting, shaping, and assembling materials to create the final product. Precision and craftsmanship are crucial to ensure the sign meets your specifications and withstands environmental conditions.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation

Proper installation is key to the longevity and effectiveness of your sign. Our expert installers ensure that your signage is securely mounted and positioned for maximum visibility.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your signs looking their best. This includes cleaning, checking for damage, and replacing any worn or faulty components.

Regulations and Compliance

Zoning Laws

Understanding local zoning laws is crucial for signage placement. We assist our clients in navigating these regulations to ensure compliance and avoid potential fines.

ADA Compliance

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain signage to be accessible to individuals with disabilities. This includes specific requirements for size, contrast, and braille lettering.
