Materials Used in Lobby & Office Signs
Lobby and office signs are typically made from high-quality materials that balance durability with a professional appearance. Common materials include:
1 - Acrylic – Clear or frosted acrylic offers a sleek, modern look and is often used with standoff mounts or printed graphics on the back.
2 - PVC (Sintra) – Lightweight and cost-effective, PVC is great for custom shapes and vibrant prints.
3 - Metal (Aluminum, Stainless Steel, or Brass) – Often used for dimensional letters or logos to convey a high-end, corporate feel.
4 - Foam Board or Gatorfoam – Used for 3D lettering or layered designs; lightweight but sturdy.
5 - Vinyl Graphics – Frequently applied to acrylic or metal surfaces for branding or messaging.
These materials can be combined to match your brand aesthetic and budget, whether you prefer a minimalistic design or a bold, dimensional display.
Clear acrylic signs are usually used on walls with interesting details like stone or brick, but are sometimes used in modern minimalist designs as well. They can also have prints on the back like the ones pictured at the top of this page.
Frosted acrylic lobby signs are a popular choice of indoor office signs because they provide a professional look and match any decor.
Acrylic is available in a variety of colors but most are only available at 1/8" thickness. Thicker acrylic can be airbrushed in any color.
