Polycarbonate and Gi signage
Polycarbonate is a strong, transparent, lightweight, and durable plastic material. In making signage, Polycarbonate sheets can be used to create letters or designs, which are then fixed onto the signage frame. This material is suitable for various indoor and outdoor applications because it can withstand natural elements such as UV, wind, rain, and can maintain its appearance stability for a long time.
Gi Signage, on the other hand, is signage made from hot-dip galvanized steel sheets and has high durability and strength. They are usually used for outdoor applications because they can withstand harsh weather and other environmental factors. It can be customized in various shapes and sizes and can use different colors and designs to meet the different needs of clients.
In summary, there are both commonly used materials in signage production and have their respective characteristics and applicable ranges.
When it comes to material selection, both have their advantages and disadvantages, and here are some comparisons:
The difference between polycarbonate & Gi signage
Advantages of Polycarbonate:
- Good transparency, making it an ideal choice for producing transparent signage.
- Strong durability with high impact resistance and UV resistance.
- Relatively lightweight, easy to process and install.
- Can maintain its appearance stability for a long time.
Disadvantages of Polycarbonate:
- Relatively expensive, more expensive than GI Signage.
- Easy to scratch, needs to be handled with care and protection.
Advantages of Gi Signage:
- Strong durability, can withstand significant impact and pressure.
- Relatively cheap, more cost-effective than Polycarbonate.
- Can be customized in different shapes and sizes and can use different colors and designs.
Disadvantages of Gi Signage:
- No transparency like Polycarbonate.
- Heavy, requires more manpower and equipment for installation.
- May rust and require regular maintenance and care.
Overall, they have their own advantages and disadvantages in different application scenarios. If you need to produce transparent signage or require high durability and UV resistance, Polycarbonate may be the better choice. However, if you need to customize signage within a smaller budget and do not require transparency, GI Signage may be the better choice.
