Rigid Signs
Rigid Signs
Many indoor and outdoor signs are straight, flat, and hard. In this industry, we call this a rigid sign. Rigid signs are any type of strong sign that is meant to be durable, flat-ish (though adding 3-dimensional shapes is possible), and customized to your store or brand.
For custom rigid signs, Blue Dot Signs is a sign fabricator that works with all of the available rigid sign materials. Each option can be customized and printed with unique graphics for your business, event, or personal use. If you are ready to order your rigid sign, contact Blue Dot Signs today.
There are many different types of rigid signs. “Rigid Signs” may refer to any sign that is reinforced to prevent bends and creases, although sometimes the sign refers to a specific foam board, with a core that withstands bends. Our team, as a full service sign fabricator, can create any type of sign that you need - whether it's a foam core sign, a metal sign, or any other type of rigid sign design.
There are many different types of materials used in rigid sign construction, and each offers varying benefits and challenges in terms of durability, cost, and printing options. Some of the rigid signs we fabricate include:
Rigid signs are flexible and are more pliable the larger they are, but it is difficult to snap them or break them. Different materials also offer more stability than others, such as aluminum or wood exterior panels offering the most rigidity. The exterior material will also determine if the sign can be used outdoors. Coroplast and Dibond signs are durable enough to withstand the elements.
Many of these materials are available only in white, or in white as a standard. This allows for clear colors to be printed on its surface. Some options, like foam board and coroplast, do have alternative colors available to match the printed logo or design.
The most common options for rigid sign thickness are 3/16”, 1/4″, 1/2”, and 1”. Options besides these standard ones are also available.
There are even more standard options for sign dimensions, including:
As with thickness, dimension measurements are able to be customized at your request. We can also provide custom rigid sign shapes if needed, cut using special tools for any design you've envisioned.
The signs are printed with UV-resistant latex inks that produce bright colors and sharp lines. Printed rigid signs can be finished with a matte or more glossy finish. The aluminum exterior of Dibond signs can be customized with a brushed aluminum finishing for a professional-looking background texture.
There are a variety of installation options for rigid signs. The option you use should take both what material your sign is made of and where you’re installing it into account. Some of the most common installation methods include:
Rigid signs are usually easy to install because of they’re so lightweight and simpler in design. Sign installation services are also available if needed.
