Brushed Aluminum Signs

Your signs can be stored in a dry location at room temperature. We would recommend placing a non-abrasive material in between signs if more than one will be stored. This way, the signs won’t scratch and damage each other while being stacked, moved, or removed from storage. This material will also help prevent scrapes or cuts if someone inadvertently rubs against the sign while being stored.

A file saved in PDF would be best. Just make sure that it follows the following file requirements:

1. The bleed should be 1/8".
2. The resolution is at least 150 dpi.
3. Colors are in CMYK
4. The size matches the product size plus the bleed

Our sign is ready for both indoor and outdoor use and is resistant to rust and fading from sunlight, rain, and other environmental factors. To add extra protection, you may choose to add a protective laminate. A glossy, protective laminate covering that will prolong the life and vibrancy of your sign. Protective lamination resists fading and scratches, is dry erase-ready, and is anti-graffiti.

Brushed aluminum signs are rust-free and fade-resistant. The durability of these products will last up to 5+ years with proper placement and care.
