What are Acrylic Signs?
Acrylic signs, also known as plexiglass signs, are a glass-like signage medium used for a host of purposes. The smooth material, when printed, offers a sleek visual solution that enhances its environment. Custom acrylic signs, similar to aluminum signs, are lightweight, durable, and shatter-resistant signs suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Most plexiglass signs are usually made of a clear material. However, Square Signs offers acrylic signs in a variety of thicknesses and colors. We offer clear, frosted, black, black transparent, mirror gold, and white acrylic signs in thicknesses of ⅛", ¼", and ⅜".
Custom acrylic signs are most commonly used in commercial spaces. They’re usually seen in corporate headquarters, retail stores, offices, wedding venues, hotels, and other similar places. This doesn’t mean that people can’t order acrylic signs for their homes. People might want to have a photograph printed on acrylic, for instance. Our acrylic photo prints are the perfect medium for that purpose.

Types of Acrylic Signs
We offer six base materials for your custom acrylic signs. Each one makes your sign suitable for a specific use.
Clear Acrylic Signs
Clear acrylic signs provide a clean, see-through aesthetic wherever they're placed or mounted. These reverse-printed signs add a glossy finish to your design.
White Acrylic Signs
White acrylic signs enhance the visibility of printed texts and designs. The visuals applied to the white material create a stark contrast, making the sign pop.
Black Acrylic Signs
Black acrylic signs emphasize light-colored designs. The higher the contrast between the visuals and the base material, the more striking the display looks.
Frosted Acrylic Signs
Custom acrylic signs have an etched effect, obscuring their background. Designs printed on them keep the focus on the information you're conveying.
Black Transparent Acrylic Signs
This base material for these acrylic signs provides unmatched elegance, ensuring heightened visibility for your visuals.
Gold Acrylic Signs
Gold acrylic signs provide a polished mirror finish. This material is extremely reflective, but the prints applied to its surface offer perfect visibility for any texts or images.

Printing of Acrylic Signs
We use quality UV-cured inks to make the graphics sun-resistant. You can choose between single or double-sided printing options to personalize your designs. The single-sided printing is available for all types of acrylic printing, while double-sided printing is offered only for the black opaque option.
Standard printing involves applying the graphics directly onto the material, resulting in a matte finish. Second-surface printing, on the other hand, is a reverse printing method that preserves the glossy surface of transparent items. The design is printed on the back, making it visible from the front, and is only available for the clear acrylic material. Looking for acrylic table signs for your business or event? We also print tabletop displays to help with your specific needs.

| Clarity | Very clear with high light transmission | Superior optical clarity and premium look |
| Scratch Resistance | More prone to scratches, but can be polished | Highly scratch-resistant |
| Workability | Easy to cut, drill, and shape | Requires specialized tools and handling |

Acrylic Signs FAQ
- Plexiglass is a rigid and durable material that can handle drilled holes with expert assistance. However, in case of improper handling, we can't repair or replace the product.
- Acrylic signs can be installed in various ways using accessories like standoffs, command strips, easel backs for versatile display options. You can install them wherever you need, including doors, walls, tables, or open spaces.
- Clean the product regularly with a soft, wet cloth. Avoid using harsh or acid-based liquids as they may wipe off the inks and damage the material.
- Acrylic signs can maintain their clear appearance for up to 10 years. However, if you want to prevent the early yellowing of your product you should care for it properly. Avoid using glass-cleaning sprays, as they contain ammonia-based chemicals that can cause the acrylic to yellow.
- Pack your product in a box or a similar dry container, and keep it in a place with average temperature and humidity. Don’t place abrasive or sharp-edged items near the material to refrain from scratching and damaging the surface.
- Acrylic signs are a rigid and durable material that can withstand most weather conditions and climates. With proper care, they have a lifespan of more than fifteen years indoors and five years outdoors.
- We ship all our products, including acrylic signs, across the US and Canada. Check our terms and policies page to see if this product qualifies for special offers or shipping discounts.
- No, it is not possible to print using shiny gold ink on black acrylic signs.
- Custom acrylic signs serve various purposes. They can serve as home decor, office nameplates, wayfinding displays, menus, advertising boards, and more.
- Our personalized acrylic signs can be used outdoors thanks to the weather- and UV-resistant material, as well as the UV-cured inks we use during the printing process. That being said, any type of signage will last longer indoors thanks to its lack of exposure to the elements.
- Our clear acrylic material is available in three thicknesses: ⅛”, ⅜”, and ¼”. Our white, black, and frosted acrylic materials are only available in ⅛” and ¼” thicknesses; while our black transparent and mirror gold acrylic materials are only ⅛” thick.
- The most important factor affecting your choice of thickness for your acrylic sign should be lifespan. Thicker variants are heavier and more resistant to impacts. Other things you need to consider are hanging methods and placement, which favor lighter materials.
- It depends on the thickness of your material. ⅛” thick acrylic weighs 0.06 lbs/sq ft, ⅜” acrylic weighs 0.18 lbs/sq ft, and ¼” acrylic weighs 0.11 lbs/sq ft.
- We use UV-cured inks to print our acrylic signs, extending the print’s lifespan and amplifying the colors’ vibrancy.
- Our acrylic signs are available in the standard square, rectangular, square or rectangular with rounded corners, circular, and oval shapes. We also offer custom-cut shapes in addition to custom-cut shapes with borders.
- The material of acrylic signs often has a glossy finish. The exception to the rule is the frosted acrylic material. That being said, the printing applied to acrylic signs has a matte finish. However, a clear acrylic sign with second surface printing will have a fully gloss finish. You can read our article about different acrylic sign finishes to learn more.
- Double-sided printing is available for our black acrylic material. The limitation exists because the other material variations are see-through, and printing both sides would ruin the look of the product.
- We print full-color acrylic signage in any design you want. You can install it on the wall using drilled holes and standoffs or command strips. Command strips will help you avoid drilling holes in your walls, but will be entirely visible should your design not cover the entirety of the surface of your acrylic sign.
- We offer acrylic signs in any custom size you need. Standard sizes vary based on purpose. Nameplates are often 12” x 6” or 18” x 6”. Brand logos and office signs may be 36” x 18” or 24” x 24”. We offer acrylic signs ranging from 4” x 4” to 96” x 48” in size.
- The rule of thumb is to make sure your design will serve its intended purpose. If you want a brand logo for your office, don’t include working hours, social handles, and other elements that’ll make the design heavy.
If you’re communicating text-based information, make sure the font is large enough and easily legible. You can find more detailed design guidelines in our article on sign design tips. - You can configure the number and position of the drilled holes your sign will have in our calculator or in the options menu of our design tool. You can have no drilled holes, two, four, or even six.
- Standard edges may look etched. Polished edges have a mirror-clean finish, giving them a more professional look.
- While standoffs aren’t included by default in your sign, you can order as many as you need, in three different colors and in two size variations. We offer 0.5” and 1” standoffs in silver, black, and gold colors.
- We print our acrylic signs using UV inks. This extends the product’s lifespan and prolongs the print’s vibrancy. Printed acrylic signs do not stretch, but larger signs may flex under their own weight.
