Metal Signs Are a Smart Way to Invest Tax Payer Dollars

People Don't Spend Money On What They Don't Want

Of course, that's obvious to you, the taxpayer. But what exactly does paying taxes have to do with custom metal signs? Think about this; when was the last time you had to stop at a STOP sign or read an Exit number? These, and all other road signs, are outdoor metal signs paid for by all of us taxpayers. And I doubt you have heard anyone grumbling about it. So, if outdoor metal signs are good enough for the taxpayers, then they are certainly good enough for your business.

Read Any Letters to the Editor in Chief Complaining About Metal Signs, Lately?

What do people protest about regarding government spending? Watch the language, there may be children around! But something I am sure you haven't read about is spending on metal outdoor signs. This is because there just isn't anything to complain about. Taxpayers want to see their hard-earned dollars go towards smart purchases, not get tossed down the drain. With outdoor metal signs, people know they're getting what they pay for - a quality sign that will last for years to come.

You certainly must want the same thing for your business. A custom metal sign is a great way to promote the image of your company. And can you think of a better investment?

What Makes Metal Signs Last - Even Outdoors?

Mother Nature has granted us a wonderful, flexible metal that can hold out against water, wind, and wear - aluminum. Aluminum contains aluminum oxide, which releases a thin, transparent, protective coat to prevent moisture from causing rust. Think of it as nature's sealant. Also, with the right thickness - there are three common thicknesses used - outdoor metal signs can be shaped to your specifications for your own custom business sign, yet are impervious to bends and ripples due to high winds. It's truly the wonder-metal of signs.

And Why Doesn't The Paint Chip On Outdoor Metal Signs?

Here's your fun-fact for the day - paint isn't used on metal signage! Instead, they are covered in a reflective vinyl material, which you also can use for the lettering on your your custom aluminum sign. This is why you never see people 'touching up' road signs. And it will be one less thing to worry about on your own custom business sign. Isn't that a relief?

The vinyl material is both practical and durable, consequently it is an economic choice. Other choices for your custom metal sign include selecting from a variety of digitally printed colors or choosing in-house custom spray-painting. Our associates can help you in making the choices that are right for you and your business.

Speaking of Choices, Isn't It Nice to Know You Have Some with Custom Signs!

Aluminum metal outdoor signs aren't the only durable metal signs we offer for your business. Aluminum is just one of our aluminum-based materials we use to give you the right sign for your needs. The other three are:

• ARMOUR-Wood, which has a wooden base with two aluminum metal sheets bonded to either side. This material is extremely durable.
• Alumalite, which is an aluminum composite that is also very strong, yet a grade down from ARMOUR-Wood.
• Dibond, which is similarly constructed as ARMOUR-Wood, only with plastic as its base.

You choose which one you want! And our sign educated staff can steer you to the right material for your custom metal outdoor sign.

Sometimes the Government Does Spend Money Wisely!

Did you think for a moment that taxpayers would stand for the ceaseless upkeep of iron-based or steel signs along our highways? Not for a minute! Rust and weathering prevent both of those metals from being a logical choice for outdoor signs. Aluminum, however, is the taxpayers choice for outdoor metal signs, since it is a one time purchase requiring minimal maintenance.

As a taxpayer, you want the best choice for your money, so for your business, don't you want the best as well?
