What are the advantages of using Backlit SEG?

Best Practices:

• We cannot color match. Please see our Color Optimization Guide in order to get great results including true black and blue colors.
• Get the perfect cut. Please see our Die Cut Printing Guide for instructions on how to setup your design file. (Not applicable to every product or print, only products that need to be die-cut or contour cut.)
• Select Appropriate Placement. Choose strategic locations for your reflective foamcore signs to maximize visibility and impact. Consider areas with high foot or vehicle traffic, intersections, entrances, or places where the signs can be easily seen from a distance. Ensure that they are positioned at eye level for optimal readability.
  
• Use Adequate Lighting. While reflective foamcore signs are designed to be visible in low-light conditions, providing additional lighting can further enhance their visibility and readability, especially during nighttime. Consider using spotlights, floodlights, or other lighting solutions to ensure the signs remain visible even in dark environments.
• Maintain Clean Surfaces. Regularly clean the reflective surface of the foamcore signs to ensure maximum reflectivity. Dust, dirt, or debris can diminish the reflective properties and reduce visibility. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to gently clean the surface, and avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the sign.
  
• Regular Inspections. Periodically inspect the signs for any signs of damage, fading, or peeling. Check the adhesive or mounting method to ensure the signs are securely in place. Replace or repair any signs that are damaged or no longer reflect effectively to maintain their visibility and effectiveness.
  
• Consider Sign Size and Font Legibility. Ensure that the size of the sign and the font used are appropriate for the viewing distance. Signs that are too small or have overly complex fonts may be difficult to read, reducing their effectiveness. Test the readability of the signs from various distances to ensure they are easily visible and legible.
  
• Comply with Regulations. If using reflective foamcore signs for traffic or safety purposes, ensure they comply with relevant regulations and standards. Follow local laws and guidelines regarding size, color, placement, and messaging to ensure legal compliance and effective communication.
  
• Weather Protection. Protect the signs from harsh weather conditions whenever possible. Extreme sunlight, rain, snow, or strong winds can deteriorate the foamcore material and diminish reflectivity over time. Consider using protective coatings, laminates, or placing the signs in covered or sheltered areas to prolong their lifespan and visibility.
  
• Secure Mounting. Ensure the foamcore signs are securely mounted to prevent them from falling or becoming dislodged. Use appropriate adhesives, fasteners, or mounting hardware suitable for the surface and location. Periodically check the mounting to ensure the signs remain in place and are not posing any safety hazards.
