In the past, the only options for pole signs involved imprinted, heavy-duty vinyl. Recently, All Star Signs has begun installing powder-coated aluminum flags on light poles in San Diego, CA. How does this product benefit our clients?
Case Study: Logan Elementary School
The school had several light poles on its campus. In addition to being functional, the school wanted to take advantage of them for adding splashes of color to the venue. Besides that, the signage was to encapsulate the values the school holds dear. Examples include “Community” and “Creativity.”
The powdered-coated flags were designed by Visual Asylum and their design was sent to DirectEmbed to fabricate these durable flags. Our client, Balfour Beatty, called upon All Star Signs for the installation process.
Look closely, and you will notice that the school has a pigeon problem. Therefore, adding standard vinyl banners would not be the best choice. Bird droppings are acidic and might discolor the product, weaken the integrity of the vinyl, and mar its good looks.
However, powder-coated aluminum flags are the ideal alternative. The material is durable, integrates the color play in its setup, and makes cleanup a snap. Best of all, aluminum is notoriously durable, which means that these signs will last for years to come.
What Makes Powder Coating So Interesting to Southern California Business Owners?
If you do business near the beach, you know that pigeons are the least of your worries. Seagulls are messy and require frequent cleanup of company signs. Moreover, the sun in and around San Diego is legendary. However, it leads to fading of many sign materials.
Powder-coated aluminum is the answer. Dye sublimation is the process that fuses the colors and graphics to the underlying material. It creates a seamless design that is visually compelling and durable. These signage products do not fall victim to the same fading risk as other materials might. When you plan a larger investment in signage, this is a money-saving option.
Of course, there are additional advantages, too. For example, powder-coatings make the signage graffiti-resistant. While this may not be a big deal when ordering pole flags, consider how it would affect your sign’s durability when introducing this same technology for a building panel that identifies your brand.
By the way, powder coating allows for effortless artistry. Whether you want to bring the signs inside or keep them out of doors, the products are ideal for brand building. Since it is possible to apply the coating to textured surfaces, consider the multi-dimensional appearance your wall art or signage might take!
