Vinyls and Laminates
Orchard Signs only uses top quality vinyls and Laminates to ensure a long lasting and durable sign.
Print Vinyl Options:
Standard vinyl- cost effective, but will not completely block-out an underlying color or image of the application surface.
Grey Back vinyl- better adhesive, with a grey back to block-out underlying image. Better option for a more permanent decal.
High tac vinyl- SUPER aggressive adhesive, best for rough surfaces. Grey back for block-out.
Laminate Options:
Standard Clear laminate- protects the print and resists extreme UV for 3 to 5 years. Matte or gloss finishes available.
Premium laminate – protects the print and resists extreme UV for 8 to 10 year.
Reflective Vinyls
Engineer Grade:
Engineer Grade Reflective Vinyl is a high-quality, durable material designed for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Commonly used for construction sites, safety markings, and commercial signage, this vinyl features embedded glass beads that reflect light back toward its source, making it an ideal choice for private signage, but may not comply with city regulations.
High Intensity:
High-Intensity Reflective Vinyl is a premium-grade material designed for maximum visibility and durability. With a unique prismatic construction, it reflects significantly more light than standard engineer-grade vinyl, making it ideal for high-traffic areas, road signs, and safety applications. This vinyl does comply with most city street regulations.
Diamond Grade:
Diamond Grade Reflective Vinyl is the highest-performance reflective material available, designed for maximum visibility and safety. Utilizing advanced full-cube prismatic technology, it reflects nearly double the light of high-intensity reflective vinyl, making it ideal for critical applications like highway signage, emergency vehicles, and high-risk work zones.
Key Benefits:
• Superior Reflectivity – Provides the highest level of brightness, even at long distances and sharp angles.
Materials
ACM
(aluminum composite material)
3mm ACM is the perfect solution for high-quality, durable signage. This lightweight yet rigid material consists of a polyethylene core sandwiched between two aluminum sheets, providing excellent weather resistance, smooth surfaces, and easy fabrication. Ideal for indoor and outdoor signs. Its strength, affordability, and sleek appearance make it a top choice. If you’ll be mounting this material to a post outdoors, and the size is larger than 18″x24″, It’s recommended to use a thicker, 6mm, ACM.
.080 Aluminum
080 Aluminum Signs – Heavy-Duty, Long-Lasting, and Weather-Resistant
.080 is a thick, durable material ideal for permanent outdoor signage. Rustproof, weather-resistant, and strong, it’s commonly used for traffic signs, parking lot signage, directional signs, and industrial applications. Its rigid structure withstands harsh conditions while providing a smooth surface for high-quality graphics and reflective coatings.
Designed for longevity, .080 aluminum won’t warp, crack, or corrode.
Alumanate
Alumanate Signs – Durable, Weather-Resistant, and Versatile
Alumanate is a high-quality, composite sign material that combines the strength of aluminum with a lightweight core for superior durability. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, it is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Foamcore
Foamcore Signs – Lightweight, Affordable, for indoor, temporary use only.
Foamcore is a versatile, lightweight sign material with a rigid foam center and smooth paper or plastic-coated surfaces. Commonly used for presentations, trade shows, event signage, and temporary displays.
While not recommended for outdoor use due to its sensitivity to moisture, Foamcore provides an affordable and visually striking signage solution for short-term or indoor promotional needs.
