Evaluate Substrates Before You Specify.
Substrate Selection Starts with the Material in Hand
Specifying sign materials from a product description is adequate for simple projects. But when the installation environment, client expectations, or project scale demands confidence in the material, there is no substitute for holding a substrate sample and evaluating it firsthand.
Our complimentary sample kit provides physical swatches of every substrate we produce on. Weight, rigidity, surface texture, color fidelity, and weather resistance are properties that become immediately clear when you hold the material — and impossible to fully assess from a photograph or specification sheet.
Procurement managers evaluating substrates for a multi-location program. Designers specifying materials for a client presentation. Facilities directors comparing options for permanent versus temporary installations. These are the professionals who use our sample program to make informed material decisions.
Substrates Included in Your Sample Kit
Our sample kit demonstrates the primary substrates available for commercial signage production:
Corrugated plastic (4mm) — lightweight, waterproof, and cost-effective. The standard for temporary outdoor signs, directional signage, and high-volume campaigns. Ideal for real estate, political campaigns, and event signage. Aluminum composite panel (3mm) — rigid, weather-resistant, and built for permanent installations. A smooth, flat printing surface with superior color reproduction. Used for storefronts, wayfinding, and regulatory signage. PVC board (3mm and 6mm) — smooth, rigid, and versatile. Excellent for indoor displays, trade show graphics, and temporary outdoor applications. Paintable surface for custom integrations. Vinyl banner material (13oz) — reinforced scrim vinyl designed for outdoor banner applications. Flexible, durable, and printable in full color. Available with reinforced hems and grommets. Foam board (3/16 inch) — lightweight and smooth. Best for indoor displays, presentations, and temporary applications where cost is a priority.
Each swatch is printed in full color so you can evaluate print adhesion, color vibrancy, and surface quality on the actual production substrate.
Complimentary Shipping. No Obligation.
Your material sample kit ships free to any business address in the continental United States. There is no purchase requirement and no obligation. We provide samples as a standard part of our quoting and specification process.
For businesses evaluating substrate options for a specific project, include your project brief in the sample request and our team will include a written recommendation alongside the physical samples — matching substrates to your application, environment, and durability requirements.
Architects, designers, and procurement teams are welcome to request multiple kits for different stakeholders or office locations. Sample kits ship within 2 to 3 business days. For time-sensitive evaluations, note your deadline and we will prioritize fulfillment.
