Corrugated Plastic Signs in Oceanside, CA
Ask any realtor or local politician and they’ll tell you: Coroplast is the stuff of dreams.
Picture an economical material that can have brightly colored graphics printed on it and will last for a long time, even in the harsh outdoor elements.
That’s Coroplast.
What exactly is it?
First off, it’s a brand name of a plastic material that looks, works and feels like corrugated cardboard. Except when the lawn sprinklers turn on, it won’t melt away like a piece of cardboard would.
This material is great for when you need temporary signage. Just a few ideas of how you can use this amazing material:
- Real estate open houses
- Political candidates (“Vote for so-and-so and I promise to do such-and-such”)
- Outdoor events such as weddings or concerts (can also be used as directional signage to move people from the parking lot to the area of the event)
The best thing about it is that it is weather proof. At AlphaGraphics, we have very expensive printers that can use UV-resistant inks which will not fade in the sun or run when the lawn sprinklers are turned on. The plastic itself can be reusable provided that it’s stored properly.
There are also many ways to mount the sign.
You can hang it from a wall using double sided Velcro tape (for super temporary events or usage) or you can have grommets installed and have it hung from the ceiling or other area. It’s very lightweight so in case it falls, it won’t break or shatter into a thousand tiny pieces. It will just kind of float downwards at a low rate of speed and sit there until you pick it up and re-hang it.
Have lots of glass window space?
You can use suction cups as well to mount the signs in the front windows of your business. Or you have use the metal A-frame stands where you stick both ends into the grass on the lawn or in the dirt and it will stay there as directional signage.
If you’re really looking to make an impression, you can opt for translucent Coroplast. It has special properties that reflect and catch light, and gives off an extremely bright and colorful glow when you add a backlight to it. This would make for a great evening event as the glow can illuminate a walking patch.
Another wonderful use is for theater production companies. Stage props need to be light, durable and most importantly, re-usable. You can have an entire backdrop scene printed on a piece and after the show is over, it will store easily in a closet.
