Getting in a Lather about Foamex Signs

Purchasing any kind of sign for a business is a highly significant decision, since it is the sign which presents a public awareness of quality and professionalism. All the more important are those signs outside the business buildings which announce the name and type of business. One of the most widely used and popular types in this instance are Foamex signs.

Foamex signs are made from a rigid, PVC based material and are both lightweight and hard wearing. Foamex signs' surfaces are smooth and flat – ideal for the direct application of vinyl lettering and artwork. The sizes in which Foamex signs can be made are either 1mm, 3mm, 5mm or 10mm, and individual segments of the sign can be anything up to ten foot by ten foot. This means that it is rare for signs to have to be made from multiple segments, which decreases the appearance slightly.

Although bearing such a suitable, smooth surface area, Foamex signs can be manufactured with the lettering and artwork directly applied, meaning that computer created graphics and images can be designed and applied, giving a particularly vivid and eye-catching display. Popular uses for Foamex signs are by builders, landscape gardeners, roofers and scaffolding companies who, because of the lightweight portability of the signs, will take it with them and fix it temporarily outside whilst they work, advertising their business in a clear,professional and effective manner. Foamex signs can be fixed, unfixed and fixed again without risk to their integrity, making them the ideal solution for mobile businesses such as these.

The manufacture of Foamex signs means that they are extremely lightweight, and therefore highly portable. Mobile signs and displays made of this substance combine  lightweight portability with a professional finish and quality, making Foamex signs  the ideal solution. Fixing these signs to walls can even be done with double sided tape or Velcro due to the lightness.

Fixing Foamex signs in a more permanent fashion is also very easy. They can easily be cut and drilled using any standard household tools, and fixed using screws. They can even be nailed or riveted, without fear of cracking. This means that, once purchased, it is not necessary to go to the expense of having to have the sign making company or another agent come to fit the sign, usually at yet more cost. Foamex signs are a highly economic format of sign, being both cheap to manufacture and cheap and easy to fit. With a good length of expected service, they represent a wise investment choice.

Being completely waterproof, Foamex signs can be used outside without any difficulty, being classed as having an average outdoor expectancy, although used indoors their length of use can be extended tenfold, giving many years of professional service.

Through the production process, Foamex signs are all a standard white colour. However, by applying a thin colour film to the surface towards the end of manufacture, a coloured, permanent background can be created on which lettering or imaging will adhere just as easily.
