Never before has there been such an awesome gift idea! Personalized street signs have become a staple in the personalized gift giving concept. Personalized street signs, in many shapes, colors and sizes. Although street signs can be found made of plastic the best street signs are made of aluminum or some other thick metal. Aluminum signs are considered to be the best in the industry, due to the fact that they have such a long life and they will never rust.
Aluminum street signs can vary in thickness. Most of them come in a .080 thickness, while those made for novelty purposes will generally be made of a thinner aluminum most likely a .040 or .025. Generally more modern street signs have rounded corners.
As for the coloring of the street signs…Generally street signs are green however they can be found in many other colors. The colors offered for novelty purposes are black, red, blue, brown, pink, yellow, green and orange. The lettering on street signs is usually made from a vinyl type material and can either be reflective or non-reflective.
Usually reflective signs are used for situations where visibility is very important, such as streets, apartment complexes or small towns. Personalized street signs are generally non-reflective. There are several levels of reflectivity as well. The two main types are engineered grade reflectivity and high prismatic reflectivity. Signs with reflective engineered grade material will usually fill any purpose, however some cases call for the high prismatic material.
So much goes into creating street signs. In each situation will call for different types of material, size and color. Street signs make a great gift for any occasion. They have been given as gifts for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Veterans Day and of course on Christmas. All this being said, it does not mean they cannot be given for other occasions as well. What about as a parting gift for your son heading off to college, or as a graduation gift to your daughter. We have also seen them stuffed in Easter baskets as well. Give the gift that just keeps on giving.
