What are Frosted Acrylic Signs?
Frosted acrylic signs are beautifully crafted to diffuse light and elegantly present a brand or message. Acrylic is a glass substitute that is more durable than glass while maintaining all the appearance of professional signage. Frosted acrylic provides a translucent background to your design.
Similar to clear acrylic signs, frosted acrylic signs are often used as decorative signage solutions to augment an office space or proudly display a brand or logo. Although recommended for indoor signage uses, frosted acrylic can be used indoors or outdoors. Fully customize any design by printing on frosted acrylic in full color.
Frosted Acrylic Sign Features
Drilled Holes & Standoffs
Frosted acrylic signs look best when mounted directly to a wall using standoffs. Mounting your frosted acrylic sign with standoffs gives a professional look and ensures that your sign will last for a long period of time. Standoffs can be purchased as an option with your sign.
Made from Durable Material
The ⅛" thick frosted acrylic material is durable and sturdy. Because it's similar to frosted glass, you can be sure to expect years of beautiful sign display with proper installation and care.
Elegant Frosted Glass Look
Frosted acrylic signs are elegant and clean - making any business logo or design stand out in a great way. The frosted material is translucent—allowing light to shine through, while not being entirely see-through.
Full Color Digital UV Printing
Print your logo, name or whatever you desire. Our advanced digital UV printers ensure that you’ll be pleased with the quality and color of your sign. We print with CMYK color, bringing out the best of your design work.
Shape Options
Customize your frosted acrylic sign to any shape. In addition to the standard square or rectangle shape you can also choose between circle or oval, rounded corners, custom, or custom with border. Custom shapes allow you to create a beautifully unique sign.
Standoffs and Drilled Holes
Frosted acrylic signs are most frequently mounted on a wall using standoffs. Drilled holes and standoffs are optional but highly recommended because they provide the perfect complement to your professional sign. To make it easier to hang your sign, we offer drilled holes in 8 different configurations:
4 Corners
All Sides Center
Corners & Top & Bottom Center
Left & Right Center
Top Corners Only
Top & Bottom Center
Custom
None
You can choose between ⅜" drilled holes or ¼" drilled holes. If you are planning on mounting your frosted acrylic sign with standoffs, choose ?" drilled holes.
Standoffs are the perfect option for drilled holes. Our half-inch-diameter standoffs are made from anodized brushed aluminum and are aesthetically appealing for any frosted acrylic design.
Frosted vs Clear Acrylic
Frosted acrylic has some unique qualities that make it a wonderful signage
option. Similar to a window that frosts over during cold weather, frosted
acrylic signs are translucent, or semi-opaque. This effect looks fantastic
when mounted on a wall of any color or texture. Frosted acrylic can also
be used as a divider or barrier to provide some privacy between two
spaces.
Our clear acrylic signs on the other hand simulate
clear glass with perfect transparency. Both clear and frosted acrylic
signs are lightweight and durable and provide an elegant sign for any
office space or setting. Click below to get started with clear or frosted

Removing the Protective Film
Because of the nature of acrylic, there is a tendency for the surface of your sign to scratch. In order to protect your sign during shipping, we add a protective film to the back, glossy side of your frosted acrylic sign before packaging and shipping it directly to your door.
The film is not a permanent part of your frosted acrylic sign and can be easily removed. Simply peel the brown film away from the sign starting in one corner and begin slowly working the film out and away from the acrylic surface.
Caring for Frosted Acrylic Signs
Acrylic is a beautiful signage material that, when cared for properly, can last for years. However, because it's similar to glass, acrylic can scratch and even chip or shatter if handled poorly. You can prevent damage to your frosted acrylic sign by properly installing, maintaining, and caring for the sign. No matter if your sign is used outside or inside, occasional cleaning will be required. We recommend using a damp non-abrasive cloth (microfiber works well) to wipe the surface. Do not use ammonia based cleaner (such as Windex) on the acrylic because it may result in a clouded surface. Use a dry non-abrasive cloth to dry the sign.
If you need to store your frosted acrylic sign, we recommend first covering the sign with a soft fabric or packing wrap to prevent scratching the sign. Your frosted acrylic sign will last longest when installed in locations that avoid direct sunlight.

Frosted acrylic signs can be mounted or placed both inside and out. Regardless of where they might be posted, they are generally affixed to rigid surfaces such as wood, metal, concrete or even drywall. We recommend selecting drilled holes and standoffs when ordering your sign so that you can easily post your sign in the desired spot. Perhaps the best way to install your frosted acrylic sign is to use standoffs. Our ½" diameter standoffs come with wall anchors and screws that can be used to post your sign. To install your sign you should drill a pilot hole before inserting the anchor. You can then drill your screw into the anchor in the rigid surface. Lastly, screw on the standoff cap for each drilled hole on your sign. Frosted acrylic signs can also be hung using the drilled holes and a variety of accessories including rope, bungee cord, zip ties, etc. As acrylic signs are generally a more professional sign we recommend mounting them with standoffs to obtain the best look.
Storing your frosted acrylic sign is very easy to do. Simply store it in a cool dry place at room temperature. Avoid scraping or rubbing it against abrasive or sharp objects to avoid scratching. If you're storing multiple signs, we recommend covering them or inserting some kind of soft fabric in between the signs.
We do have different accessories that you can use to mount your banner. The best one we could suggest is a banner frame, but if there are trees or poles around, you can also try to use nylon ropes or bungees and wrap it around. You may click the link below for more options:
