PVC signage—often known by brand names like Sintra, Trovicel, and Celtec—is one of the most versatile and cost-effective materials available for interior applications. At Graphic Impact, we specialize in fabricating, printing, and finishing PVC signs to meet the exact needs of your business, institution, or organization. Whether you need custom logos, dimensional letters, or promotional displays, PVC delivers impressive results at an affordable price point.

What Is PVC Sign Material?

PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a rigid yet lightweight plastic substrate that is easy to fabricate, route, laser-cut, and bend. It is available in a variety of thicknesses and finishes and is typically white, making it an excellent canvas for full-color digital printing. PVC is often used under brand names such as Sintra and Trovicel, and it's ideal for interior sign applications where sharp graphics, smooth edges, and a professional look are important.

Common Applications of PVC Signs

Due to its versatility, PVC is used in a wide variety of indoor signage solutions. Some of the most popular applications include:

• Countertop displays and POP (point-of-purchase) signage
• Shelf talkers and promotional tags
• Interior directional and wayfinding signage
• Building directories and nameplates
• Restaurant menus and wall graphics
• Temporary event signage and exhibits

These signs are lightweight, easy to mount, and customizable to virtually any size or shape.

Custom Cutting and Shaping for Maximum Impact

One of the major advantages of PVC is that it can be cut to virtually any shape using laser cutters, routers, or even manual methods for simpler jobs. This makes it an excellent material for creating dimensional letters, branded logos, and decorative signs that really stand out. Want a custom contour-cut logo in bold colors? PVC makes it easy—and affordable.

Painted, Printed, or Both

At Graphic Impact, we offer both painted and digitally printed options for PVC signs. If you're after a specific color to match your brand identity, we can paint the surface with high-performance coatings. For maximum visual appeal, however, digital imaging is the preferred method. Full-color digital printing allows us to reproduce photographs, gradients, and complex graphics with precision and vibrancy. Best of all, the printing can be done directly onto the PVC surface before cutting to your exact shape and size.

Ideal for Short Runs and Bulk Orders

Whether you need a single directory sign or thousands of shelf talkers, PVC is an excellent choice. For large quantity printing, the cost-effectiveness of PVC becomes especially apparent. Since digital imaging doesn’t require screen setups or lengthy production runs, smaller orders can be processed quickly and economically. That means there’s no need to maintain large inventories—just order what you need, when you need it.

Fast Turnaround from Graphic Impact

At Graphic Impact, we understand that time is often of the essence. That’s why our standard turnaround for most PVC sign projects is just 1–2 business days. Whether you're preparing for a trade show, setting up a new office interior, or updating restaurant menus, our team works fast to deliver high-quality signs on your schedule.

Limitations of PVC for Outdoor Use

While PVC excels in indoor environments, it is not well-suited for long-term outdoor use. Exposure to sunlight and fluctuating temperatures can cause the material to warp, fade, or degrade over time. For exterior applications, we recommend using more durable materials such as aluminum, ACM (aluminum composite material), or HDU (high-density urethane), which are designed to withstand weather conditions while maintaining appearance and structural integrity.
