Description:
Our specialty!
In fact, since corrugated plastic is the only substrate we screen
print on, and we have been doing it for many years now, we feel
that we are one of the best in the country in this market! We
print on heavy 4mm fluted polypropylene with beautiful high gloss
and durable UV inks, on a large range of standard sizes. Four
color process is even available! Please check out the details
below!
THE
PLASTIC
The
corrugated plastic used in our signs is 4mm fluted polypropylene
sheets. This material is extremely tough yet very lightweight.
It is completely water and sun proof, and resists most stains
and chemicals. Signs made from this product will last at least
1 year outdoors(many political campaigns have used the signs for
multiple campaigns) , far exceeding the life of polycoated cardboard
or bag signs. The flutes in the plastic also allow for easy insertion
of the wire stands, which increase the strength of the sign greatly.
In addition, the material used in the plastic is recyclable.
UV
INK
Our
are printed with UV-cured ink that has been designed specifically
for outdoor longevity on corrugated plastic. It has an extremely
glossy and detailed finish. This ink is manufactured to endure
at least 12 months of continous outdoor exposure, and to allow
for plenty of flexing and bending. The ink comes in several standard
colors and can be Pantone color matched. It also has capability
to be used to produce beautiful four-color process (full color)
work.
WIRE
STANDS
Wire
stands provided with our signs are constructed of 9 gauge galvanized
steel (largest that will fit into the flutes) with two welded
cross bars. They measure 10" wide by 30" high (this
is optimal width to reinforce the strength of the plastic) and
are boxed for shipment. These stands are very easy to use. Just
slide the wires into the flutes of the plastic until the first
crossbar meets, and step down on the crossbar to push the stake
into the ground. Beware of stands from other companies that use
no crossbars or only one, as these can be very difficult to place
into the ground.
ARTWORK
Our
dealers must provide Rapid Signs with an artwork file suitable
for print work. We are able to screen print most any artwork produced
with a vector graphics program (including four color process!!).
Our printing process does not allow printing all the way to the
edge of the plastic. |
