Signs
When it comes to outdoor signage, choosing the right material is crucial for appearance, durability and value for money. The wrong board can fade, warp or crack long before it should – especially in exposed coastal locations like the Isle of Wight – while the right one will keep your branding looking sharp for years.
Whether you’re promoting a shop front, installing directional signs, or putting up contractor boards on a building site, your signs need to be weatherproof, UV-resistant and robust enough for everyday use. At Indigo Signs & Print we work with a range of proven outdoor sign materials – including Foamex, Dibond / aluminium composite, Correx, acrylic and aluminium panels – each suited to different budgets, lifespans and fixing methods.
Below, we’ll break down the most popular outdoor signage materials, to help you decide which option is best for your next project.
