2nd Surface Print on Makrolon

Makrolon is a polycarbonate material made by Bayer plastics. This is the same material used for Nascar windshields. We use this virtually indestructible plastic material for the sign face that shows your organization’s name and artwork. A cheap sign face is made of acrylic with vinyl graphics on the outside. Makrolon is UV resistant, we print the graphics on the inside of the clear surface. While a cheap sign would fade and peel over time, YOUR sign from Golden Rule will maintain its colors and look sharp. It’s a more expensive material and manufacturing method, but the benefits are tremendous.

LED Displays and Cloud-Based Software

The average sign shop is going to build your sign with fluorescent bulbs for lighting. Fluorescent bulbs contain mercury which is a bio-hazard. Our solution was to stop using these bulbs and put ultra bright LED lighting modules inside the signs. They consume significantly less electricity, but most importantly they aren’t a continued expense since they last 10-12 years. By adding a photo -cell (automatic on/off at night/day) your sign will consume even less power and thus make the LED modules last even longer. These both add cost…….but the benefits are tremendous.

Symmetrical Depth Cabinet and Paint

If you look at a cheap sign from the side, the depth of the identification cabinet is only 12” while the LED message boards are about 20”-24”. That is because extruded cabinets come in a maximum depth of 12 inches. Using this cheap method, sign shops can slap together a box sign very quickly with a low material cost. We know when our clients spend a significant amount of money on a sign, they want it to be built right….not in a hurry with the cheapest materials. We weld a frame that is 22” deep. Then it is skinned with .063” aluminum which is acid washed, sanded, primed and painted. Most sign companies only use 1 coat of paint. We do a primer, a base coat and then a clear coat on top. This way, should someone graffiti your sign with a marker or spraypaint… you can gently rub paint remover to remove the vandalism without actually taking off any of your signs paint. Again, this approach comes at a higher cost….but you’ll wish you had bought our sign when you have to repaint your entire sign or live with an awful looking blemish.
