Description

Non-illuminated signs, a fundamental aspect of traditional signage, are defined by their lack of internal or external lighting. These signs rely solely on natural or ambient light to be visible. Typically made from materials such as wood, metal, acrylic, vinyl, or even high-density foam, non-illuminated signs offer versatility in design and application. They are often preferred for their classic and understated elegance, which can effectively convey a business's message without the need for the visual impact of illumination. This type of signage includes a variety of forms, from simple flat-panel signs and dimensional letters to complex architectural signage. The focus on material quality, craftsmanship, and design intricacy makes non-illuminated signs a popular choice for businesses looking for a cost-effective yet professional and enduring branding solution.

Function and Importance

The primary display effect of non-illuminated signs is their clear and straightforward presentation. Without the distraction of lights, these signs rely on sharp contrasts, bold colors, and distinct typography to catch the eye of passersby. Their effectiveness is heightened during daylight hours and in well-lit areas, making them ideal for businesses in sunny locations or bustling streets with ample ambient lighting. The charm of non-illuminated signs often lies in their ability to blend seamlessly with the surrounding architecture, enhancing the overall aesthetic of a business front while maintaining a clear and professional appearance.

From a functional standpoint, non-illuminated signs serve as a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for business branding and identification. They are particularly beneficial for small to medium-sized businesses or those in historic or residential areas where illuminated signs might not be appropriate or allowed. The durability of the materials used ensures these signs can withstand various weather conditions, providing longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements. In essence, non-illuminated signs are not just about displaying a name or logo; they play a crucial role in establishing a business's presence, aiding in wayfinding, and contributing to the overall brand identity in a subtle yet impactful manner.

    More Details

  • There are actually many more types of non-illuminated signs than our list above. In most cases, non-illuminated signs are usually simpler to manufacture and therefore cheaper, considering we are a sign factory in China, if you purchase these cheap signs from us, both the shipping costs and the relatively long shipping time will be The procurement cost may far exceed the cost of purchasing locally. Therefore, we do not list all the non-illuminated signs we can produce. If you have related needs, please contact us.
  • We produce the other non-illuminated signs, such like laser-cut film signs, laser-cut acrylic signs, UV-printed vinyl signs, etc. However, if you order a very small quantity, we recommend that you purchase them locally.

Visible Distance and Recognition

When you set up fascia signs for your business, building, store, etc., you definitely want the sign to have very good visual distance and recognition, so that your customers can see your store from a long distance. Although navigation is becoming more and more developed, it still cannot replace the visual recognition effect provided by signage.

Usually

  • For signage with thin strokes, their visual distance and recognition will be affected.
  • Bigger signs have better viewing distance and recognition
  • When the environment is relatively dark, the visual distance and recognition of illuminated signs are better than those of non-illuminated signs.

Many factors such as the finish of the sign, the color contrast between the sign and the installation location, the intensity of light at the location of the sign, etc. will affect the viewing distance of the sign. If you need a suggestion, then as a rule of thumb, the viewing distance of a sign is approximately about 120 times the height of the sign. For example, a 1-inch-tall sign can be seen with good recognition from a distance of about 10 feet.

Installation

Most of the installation methods of non-illuminated signs are flush mount or off-wall mount, using stud bolts, glue or 3M VHB to install the signs on the wall.

  • Flush Mount: This installation method uses stud bolts and is installed separately on the building facade using the mounting holes mostly. Also can use glue or 3M VHB to fix on the backing wall.
  • Off-wall Mount: The only difference between this installation method and flush mount is that the sign is away from the backing wall by stud bolts, and spacers are used to ensure that each part is at the same distance from the wall.

To ensure your signage is installed correctly for optimal display and longevity, we recommend hiring professional installers. We will provide a 1:1 layout template to show the hole positions of stud bolts, the installer will drill holes on the wall according to these hole positions. We will provide installation instructions and necessary installation accessories to help your installers complete the installation correctly and quickly. If you are unable to find the professional installers, please let us know and we will put you in touch with one of our partners to find good installers for you.

Maintain

Fascia signs are generally installed at a high location and may not be accessible without a lift machine or scaffolding, so routine maintenance is basically difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase high-quality signs and hire professional installers to install them. High-quality signs that are installed correctly can significantly reduce the possibility of sign failure.

In fact, the maintenance of non-illuminated signs is very simple. Just need to wipe the surface of the sign with a soft cloth moistened with clean fresh water. Never use liquids containing organic cleaning agents to wipe the sign, as such cleaning fluids may cause irreversible damage to the exterior finish of the sign.
