Acrylic Sign Printing Options
The printing options for custom acrylic signs vary according to the material's specifications and your requirements. We offer a few options with direct UV printing for acrylic and lexan materials. Different lamination options are also available for opaque and clear acrylic signs.
Standard Printed Acrylic Signs
With standard printing, the design is printed onto the surface of your sign. You can either choose clear, colored or opaque acrylic for this option. In the case of clear acrylic signs, a white layer in the shape of your design is printed onto the material before the actual image to ensure visibility and color accuracy.
Reverse Printed Acrylic Signs
Reverse printing is a method where the design is printed on the back surface of the sign material. This option provides image depth and prevents scratches to the printed surface. With standard printing, the printed surface becomes matte. With reverse printing, you can get a glossy finish for the surface of your sign.

Double-sided printing is another option that allows you to get even sharper and deeper graphics. You can get the same image mirror printed on the front and back of clear acrylic for a striking look. Different graphics on either side of opaque acrylic will give you twice the reach to optimize your message and visibility.
