Jawku is in the business of sports performance. Experts focus on helping athletes recover more quickly after exertion. The company represents products like the Jawku Speed and Muscle Blaster. When the company needed a Gatorfoam lobby sign in Tempe, AZ, its management team contacted our sign shop to assist with the project.
Gatorfoam Construction Boosts Brand Awareness
When we met with the client, it became clear that the suite signage required would have to present with a significant brand focus. We suggested the use of Gatorfoam with back-painted acrylic faces. For starters, sign foam lets us fabricate dimensional letters at greater thicknesses. Whereas acrylic or metal might limit us to about an inch or so, this material allows for the construction of products up to three inches deep.
Secondly, Gatorfoam is an excellent substrate for installing acrylic facings, which we did in this case. By painting the backs of the transparent material, we left the front to maintain its highly-polished look. Finally, our technicians flush-mounted the letters to the orange wall, where the black creates a sharp contrast. Now, visitors to the lobby cannot help but notice the company’s brand message that is perfectly in keeping with its story.
Why Do Clients Love to Use Gatorfoam?
If you are looking for an ideal indoor signage option, Gatorfoam works. Our technicians have used it to fabricate three-dimensional letters, point of sale displays, trade show signage, and temporary retail or restaurant markers. We recommend directly imprinting the material with fade and abrasion-resistant UV ink.
It is interesting to note that Gatorfoam comes with black or white edges. Although we can paint the sides, many clients prefer to keep the original color as a contrast hue to the brand color they feature on the front. This option is of particular interest when you opt to put acrylic or metal laminates on the fronts of the style elements.
Because the material’s core consists of rigid polystyrene, several installation options are open to you. By far, the most common choice is a flush mount to a wall. Depending on the size of the product and its weight, we may be able to install it with double-sided tape. We can also install it with nails or screws. If you prefer to hang it from the ceiling, we recommend using airplane cables or bungee cords.
Other Interior Signage Materials to Consider
A Gatorfoam lobby sign in Tempe, AZ, looks chic and works well for companies in all niches. That said, you might also select other materials for interior signage. Corrugated plastic is inexpensive and typically used for yard signs. However, we also imprint it for interior displays such as wayfinding signs.
PVC works well for panels, boards, or signs that you might move around counters or tabletops. We can print your information on the material direction. It is a good option also for foyers and similar in-between areas where temperatures fluctuate and moisture content could occasionally be high.
