Custom acrylic signs are one of the most popular choices for office branding, lobby displays, retail signage, and architectural environments. The smooth surface and polished appearance create a clean modern look that works well in both commercial interiors and exterior signage applications.
Although acrylic has a glass-like appearance, it is lighter, more durable, and significantly more impact resistant than glass. It can be used for everything from dimensional lobby logos and directional signage to retail displays, branded installations, and mounted office graphics.
We print directly onto the acrylic surface using UV printing technology for sharp detail, vibrant color, and long lasting durability. White ink printing is available for clear acrylic applications, along with reverse printing, contour cutting, dimensional lettering, standoff mounting, and custom fabrication options.
The combination of print clarity, polished edges, and dimensional depth is what separates acrylic from other sign materials. Clear acrylic signs in particular create a premium glass-like appearance that works exceptionally well for office lobbies, retail environments, reception areas, and branded interior displays.

White Acrylic
White acrylic is the most common option for business signage, lobby displays, directional signs, and branded wall graphics. The solid white surface creates strong color contrast and a clean professional appearance for both printed and dimensional applications.
Clear Acrylic
Clear acrylic creates a premium glass-like appearance that works especially well for office lobbies, reception signs, retail displays, and architectural environments. When mounted with standoffs, the transparent surface creates a floating effect with natural shadow depth behind the sign.
White ink printing on clear acrylic is popular for frosted and reverse print applications where a more dimensional high-end appearance is desired.
Colored Acrylic
Colored acrylic is available via custom quote in a range of standard and specialty finishes. Rather than printing onto the surface, the acrylic material itself becomes part of the final design. Popular for dimensional lettering, layered logos, office branding, and architectural signage applications.

White ink printing on clear acrylic creates a clean frosted appearance that works especially well for logos, text, and layered graphic elements. Popular for office lobbies, reception signs, and reverse print acrylic applications.
Available via custom quote.
Acrylic signs are printed on the front surface for the cleanest and most consistent appearance. Reverse print applications on clear acrylic are also available for projects that require a protected print surface or glass-like finish.
Reverse Printing on Clear Acrylic
Reverse printing is a premium printing method where the artwork is printed on the back side of clear acrylic and viewed through the material from the front.
Printing on the back protects the ink from scratches, handling, and everyday surface contact. The acrylic acts as a protective layer, helping your sign maintain a smooth, glass-like finish and long-term clarity.
Because you are viewing the print through the acrylic, colors appear richer, edges look cleaner, and the design has a subtle depth that front printed acrylic cannot match.
Reverse printed signs deliver superior clarity, durability, and a more premium appearance.
Material Specs
Acrylic thickness changes both the appearance and feel of the final sign. Use this guide to compare the most common options for business signage, lobby displays, and dimensional applications.

Custom Shape Contour Cut
We can contour cut acrylic into virtually any custom shape including logos, lettering, circles, product silhouettes, and freeform designs using our digital flatbed cutter.
Custom shape cutting is available on acrylic up to 1" thick.
Vector files are required for contour cutting. Accepted formats include AI, EPS, and vector PDF files with live paths.
Dimensional Acrylic Lettering
Dimensional acrylic lettering is one of the most premium signage applications available for office lobbies, retail stores, hospitality environments, and architectural branding.
Individual letters or logo elements are cut from acrylic and mounted directly to the wall, creating a clean three-dimensional appearance with natural depth and shadowing.
Compared to flat printed signs, dimensional lettering creates a more permanent, architectural, and high-end appearance.
