Why Is Photopolymer Signage a Good Choice for High-Traffic Areas?

One of the most frequently sought-after signage options we provide to our customers is photopolymer signage. This highly versatile form of signage gives you complete control over customizing your design without sacrificing long-term quality and integrity.
Photopolymer signage is an especially beneficial option for signage that will be used in high-traffic areas. Here are a few reasons why.
- Durability: Photopolymer signage is extremely durable. It is resistant to weathering and cracking, and it can easily be cleaned. This means that such signage won’t have to be replaced for a long time. If the sign is located in an area that a lot of people use or walk through on a regular basis and is needed to provide instructions or directions, this durability is especially important.
- Cleaning: The easy-to-clean nature of photopolymer signage is particularly beneficial for buildings such as schools, hotels, hospitals and shopping centers, just as a few examples. These types of buildings deal with high levels of traffic every single day, with hundreds to thousands of people coming and going, all of them carrying germs and bacteria. Photopolymer can easily be sprayed with a multipurpose cleaner and then wiped with a rag for quick and easy cleaning, and those responsible for the task don’t have to worry about any of the colors, words or images fading away. Compare this to other types of signs, which might require more thorough or time-consuming cleaning, and it is simply a more sensible option for high-traffic buildings and environments.
- Low maintenance: Photopolymer signs come in a single piece—the Braille lettering, for example, is all molded as part of the sign, rather than the individual Braille dots being attached to the sign. The same is true for tactile lettering. This means there’s less risk of any of these Braille or tactile figures getting damaged or otherwise ruined and needing to be replaced. Plus, the enhanced durability of photopolymer signage means business owners won’t have to worry about cracks or other types of damage that might need to be addressed.
- Easy to replicate: Photopolymer signs are easy to replicate and develop in large batches, so if a customer has a single sign design that needs to be posted in multiple places across a high-traffic building, this is just one more reason why it is an ideal choice.
