Post and panel signs are perhaps the most versatile, adaptable, and multifaceted signage option you can choose. That is why we get plenty of requests for these markers. To help you decide whether post and panel signs in White Plains NY are right for your organization, Gotham Signs & Graphics has put together this little guide.
How Are Post and Panel Sign Systems Used?
Post and panel signs can be used for an array of purposes. Some of our customers use them as a type of monument sign. The dimensions of post and panel signs are ideal because they are thin and can fit into small areas. Commercial real estate developers prefer to use these signs as ads along roadsides since post and panel signs can be just about any size. You could also use your markers for directional support to help regulate traffic in a mall parking area, on a hospital campus, or at a distribution center. These signs are a must for wayfinding functions at a college or university.
Two Posts or Not Two Posts
When most people think of a post and panel sign, they envision a panel installed on two posts. However, there are so many other possibilities. For instance, the inverted “L” yard signs that real estate agents use only have one post. Street signs are another example of one-post post and panel signs. Also, we prefer a three-post construction for added sturdiness and readability when you want to display three panels along streets and at intersections.
Choose the Size of Your Message
The prototypical post and panel sign has lettering featured on a beveled panel. If you want to show the same info to consumers coming from a different direction, you simply attach a second panel on the back of the original. We suggest a cabinet assembly that allows you to lock the display inside a shatterproof glass cabinet when you anticipate needing to update your information regularly. You simply unlock the case and insert a new panel when your messages change. We go big with wood or aluminum panels for roadside displays.
Further customize the presentation with changeable blades that slide in between the posts or attach to the underside of the board. Here are some other customization options:
Lighting – There are several alternatives for illuminating your message. Along the panel’s frame, we can install hidden LEDs. We can place LEDs in between dual polycarbonate panel signs to light up the product from within. Or, we can attach the illumination source to the top of the frame.
Materials – Post and panel signs used to be almost exclusively made of wood, but times have changed. In urban areas, aluminum with an anti-graffiti coating is a smart choice. We can also install polycarbonate and acrylic panels.
Post Toppers – These can create an avant-garde ambiance or complement your building’s ornate appearance.
