Frequently Asked Questions About Rigid Posters & Rigid Signs

​

Where can I get rigid signs and posters printed in Evansville, Indiana?

JVA Prints & Signs produces custom rigid posters and rigid signs in Evansville, Indiana, for businesses, schools, events, offices, retail stores, presentations, trade shows, and organizations. We can print on different rigid materials depending on the size, location, durability, and appearance required.

​

What is a rigid poster?

A rigid poster is a printed graphic mounted or printed directly onto a firm substrate instead of flexible paper or banner material. Rigid posters are commonly used for displays, presentations, retail signs, event signage, menus, promotional graphics, directional signs, and informational panels.

​

What materials can be used for rigid signs?

Rigid signs can be produced using materials such as PVC, coroplast, acrylic, ACM, and other compatible substrates. Each material has different characteristics, so the best option depends on whether the sign will be used indoors or outdoors, how long it needs to last, and the finished appearance you want.

​

What is the difference between PVC and coroplast signs?

PVC is a smooth, rigid plastic material that provides a clean appearance and is commonly used for indoor signs, displays, menus, and presentations. Coroplast is lightweight, economical, and made with a fluted plastic structure. It is often used for temporary signs, yard signs, events, directional signage, and short-term advertising.

​

What is the difference between a rigid poster and a banner?

A rigid poster is printed on or mounted to a firm panel and maintains its shape without needing to be stretched or hung. A banner is flexible and is typically installed using grommets, ropes, hooks, or other hardware. Rigid signs are often preferred when a flat, structured presentation is desired.

​

Can JVA Prints & Signs print directly on rigid materials?

Yes. JVA Prints & Signs has UV printing capabilities that allow us to print directly on many compatible rigid materials. Direct printing can create a clean finished product without needing to apply printed vinyl to the face of the panel.

​

Can you make rigid signs with my logo or custom design?

Yes. We can produce rigid signs using your logo, brand colors, photos, text, QR codes, pricing, menus, promotional messages, or other custom graphics. If you do not already have a finished design, JVA Prints & Signs can help prepare the artwork for production.

​

Can rigid signs be contour cut into custom shapes?

Depending on the material and project, rigid signs can be cut into custom shapes instead of being limited to standard rectangles or squares. Custom shapes can be useful for logos, product displays, event graphics, directional signs, and branded displays.

​

Are rigid signs good for retail stores?

Yes. Rigid signs are commonly used in retail environments for sales promotions, product displays, pricing, directional signage, seasonal advertising, checkout areas, menu boards, and branded displays.

​

Can rigid posters be used for presentations and trade shows?

Yes. Rigid posters work well for presentations, conferences, trade shows, school projects, corporate displays, informational boards, and exhibits. Their firm surface makes them easier to display on easels, stands, tables, or walls than flexible paper posters.

​

Can rigid signs be used outdoors?

Some rigid materials are suitable for outdoor applications, while others are better for indoor use. Factors such as sunlight, wind, moisture, installation method, and expected lifespan should be considered. JVA Prints & Signs can recommend a material based on where the sign will be used.

​

Can you make directional rigid signs?

Yes. We can produce custom directional and wayfinding signs with arrows, room names, parking information, event directions, entrance instructions, or other information. These signs can be used for events, businesses, schools, offices, churches, and temporary installations.

​

Can you make menu boards or price signs from rigid material?

Yes. Rigid substrates are a good option for menus, price boards, service lists, product information, and promotional displays. The material and finish can be selected based on whether the sign will be temporary, permanent, frequently handled, or displayed in a specific environment.

​

What size rigid signs can JVA Prints & Signs produce?

The available size depends on the material and production method. JVA Prints & Signs can directly UV print compatible rigid materials up to approximately 24 × 36 inches. Larger rigid signs may still be possible using printed vinyl, larger substrates, multiple panels, or other production methods.

​

Can you laminate rigid signs?

Yes. Printed graphics can be laminated when additional protection is needed. Lamination can help protect the surface from scratching, handling, moisture, cleaning, and UV exposure depending on the application.

​

How long does it take to produce a rigid sign?

Production time depends on the material, size, quantity, artwork, printing method, cutting, finishing, and current production schedule. Simple rigid signs may be completed relatively quickly once the artwork is approved and payment is received.

​

What information do I need to get a quote for a rigid sign?

Provide the approximate size, quantity, where the sign will be used, whether it will be indoors or outdoors, how long it needs to last, and whether you already know which material you want. You can also send your logo, artwork, photos, or an example of the style you are trying to create.

​

Can JVA Prints & Signs help me choose the right rigid sign material?

Yes. You do not need to know the exact material before contacting us. Tell us how the sign will be used, where it will be displayed, the approximate size, desired lifespan, and budget, and we can recommend a suitable material and production method.
