Care

Gatorboard signs are intended for indoor use only. Avoid placing gatorboard in areas where it will be exposed to increased amounts of moisture and refrain from using any liquid or cleaning solution to remove dirt from the sign. When handling, make sure not to excessively bend the board, this will cause a permanent crease in the material or possible tearing of the board. Edges can be easily dented, so take care when transporting and displaying gatorboard.

Q:
What are the typical uses of gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Gatorboard is typically used as promotional, point of purchase displays, and directional signage for retail stores and businesses. Gatorboard can be used as a cheaper alternative to a rigid plastic or aluminum sign for indoor signage. Restaurants or cafes can hang this board to display menus or specials offered. It can also be used at trade shows and events as welcome signage, registration signage or even as part of a display booth. It is also affordable enough to be used in business presentations. Lastly, our gatorboard signs can also be used for handheld signage at campaign rallies, by street advertisers and more. Durable enough to be held up and waved around but light enough to be held for extended periods.
Q:
Can I use gatorboard to build 3-D displays or exhibits?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:

Yes! Gatorboard can be used to create eye-catching 3-D displays. Flex your creative muscle when incorporating gatorboard into your display. The lightweight property allows for it to be suspended from a ceiling with string or rope, or mounted on a wall. You can create 3-D shapes and objects with multiple gatorboard pieces or combine it with our custom falconboard signs to make a captivating display.

Q:
Can I use gatorboard as a surface to mount other objects on?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
You can use gatorboard as a surface to hang light objects, such as paper, cardboard, foamboard, or falconboard. We suggest that you avoid hanging heavy objects, as this will put strain on the board and could result in bending or tearing of the gatorboard. Use adhesive, nails, screws, or thumbtacks to secure objects to the face of the gatorboard. Do not place heavy objects directly on top of gatorboard in a table like fashion or even when being stored. These uses can permanently damage the gatorboard signs.
Q:
How do I install/hang/post my gatorboard sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
You can hang a gatorboard sign by using nails or screws to secure it to a wall. String, rope, or hooks can be used to suspend the sign from a ceiling. Signs can be attached to a surface using strong adhesive or glue as well.
Q:
What happens if my gatorboard sign is exposed to large amounts of moisture?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Gatorboard is not designed to be waterproof or resistant to moisture. As such, if your board is exposed to a large amount of water it will become permanently damaged. The moisture will warp the paper faces and could cause them to separate from the foam core. This can be true for direct exposure to water as well as extremely humid conditions.
Q:
How do I store my gatorboard signs?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
We recommend storing your custom gatorboard sign in an upright position and away from sharp edges or objects to prevent any scratching or denting of the face of the board. If you do decide to store your board on its face, make sure to avoid placing objects on top of the sign. Doing so could cause unwanted flattening or puncturing of the board. This is particularly true if the gatorboard signage is suspended between two objects with no middle support.
Q:
How do I clean my gatorboard sign?
Asked 2 years ago by Signs
A:
Clean your gatorboard using a dry, non-abrasive cloth. This should be adequate in removing surface dirt. Avoid using liquids or any cleaning solution when caring for your gatorboard sign.
