Popular perspex sign styles
- Clear panels on stand-offs – a clear acrylic panel held off the wall with metal stand-off fittings, with the logo applied to the back or front.
- Frosted or coloured panels – a softer, more private look.
- Cut-out letters and logos – acrylic letters fixed to a wall or panel. See 3D signage.
- Door and office plates – meeting room names, office numbers and directories.
- Lit sign faces – acrylic diffuses light well, so it is common on light boxes.
Where perspex works well
Perspex works especially well indoors, in reception areas, boardrooms and showrooms, where people see it up close. It can be used outside, but it is more brittle than ACP and can scratch, so placement matters. For long-lasting outdoor boards, ACP or chromadek are usually more practical. See indoor vs outdoor durability.
Perspex is also used for menu boards, display plinths, price tags and protective screens. Coloured and frosted sheets can be layered for a two-tone effect, and printing on the reverse of clear perspex gives a glossy front with the artwork protected behind the sheet.
Caring for perspex
Clean perspex with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners and paper towels, which can leave fine scratches, and avoid harsh solvents. More tips in sign care and maintenance.
