I was recently visiting a client in Fort Worth and was stopped at a traffic signal when I saw this:
I hoped that the red light would last a little longer (you don’t hear that too often!) so that I could take a photo of the sign; the traffic signal stayed red just long enough before turning green. The Two Way Sign in the photo has obviously seen better days, but its life could have been significantly extended with the use of a UV protective overlaminate. Texas weather is really tough on exterior signage, particularly in the summer months with our baking heat and extreme UV exposure. DALLAS PRINTING strongly recommends the use of UV protective laminate films on permanent exterior signs to increase their longevity. UV protective overlaminate films are available in both gloss and matte finishes and help protect signs from UV degradation, as well as abrasion and moisture. We’d love to assist with your next signage project – just let us know how we can be of help!
