Signage & Banner FAQs

What's the difference between indoor and outdoor signage?

Outdoor signs use UV-resistant materials and inks to withstand weather, sun, and temperature changes. Indoor signs can use a wider variety of materials and finishes since they're protected from the elements.

How long do vinyl banners last outdoors?

Quality vinyl banners typically last 3-7 years outdoors with proper installation and care. Factors like UV exposure, wind, and weather conditions affect longevity.

Can you install the signs you print?

Many sign companies offer installation services, especially for larger or permanent signs. Installation may require permits and professional mounting for safety and compliance.

Do I need permits for outdoor signs?

Permit requirements vary by location and sign type. Temporary banners often don't require permits, while permanent business signs usually do. Check with your local zoning department.
