Acrylic Signs in Houston – Crystal-Clear Branding With Professional Finishes
Walk through the lobby of any Houston high-rise and you'll see acrylic signage — company logos, floor directories, welcome messages rendered in crystal-clear plastic that catches light and conveys professionalism. Acrylic is the choice for upscale environments where first impressions matter. Unlike foam board's industrial appearance or vinyl's flatness, acrylic brings dimension and light-play to signage. Corporate offices in the Galleria, medical practices in the Medical Center, and luxury retailers in Uptown Houston rely on acrylic signs as part of their brand identity. Catdi Printing produces custom acrylic signs with edge finishing, engraving options, and professional mounting hardware.
Why Choose Acrylic for Premium Signage?
Acrylic (cast or extruded) is a rigid plastic that transmits light beautifully, creating visual richness impossible with paper or vinyl. We print directly onto acrylic sheet using UV-cured flatbed printing, or mount second-surface graphics behind clear acrylic for a glass-like depth effect, then polish edges to a crystal-clear finish and add mounting hardware. Available in clear, frosted, white, and black finishes; thicknesses range from 1/8 inch (lightweight lobby signs, 3–5 lb panels) to 3/16 inch (standard) and 1/4 inch (premium reception pieces with substantial heft). Standoff mounting hardware — brushed aluminum or chrome barrel-and-cap sets — holds signs 1/2 inch to 1 inch off the wall for a modern floating effect. The material is scratch-resistant, UV-stable, and easy to clean with a damp cloth — ideal for high-traffic Houston offices and retail environments.
Why Houston Businesses Choose Acrylic Signs
Professional Visual Presence
Acrylic signals investment and quality. Houston corporate offices and luxury brands use acrylic signage as part of their environmental branding strategy.
Crystal-Clear Light Transmission
Unlike other materials, acrylic captures and plays with light, creating a sophisticated appearance that photographs beautifully and impresses visitors.
Durability and Easy Maintenance
Acrylic resists scratches, UV damage, and fading. Simple dusting or gentle cleaning maintains appearance for years. Ideal for high-use Houston environments.
Customizable with Edge Finishing
Polished edges, beveled edges, or colored edge tinting allow customization. Professional mounting hardware keeps installations clean and damage-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
What thickness should I choose for acrylic signs?
1/8 inch provides lightweight signage for temporary installations. 3/16 inch offers a premium feel for semi-permanent displays. 1/4 inch is the gold standard for executive offices and high-traffic spaces.
Can acrylic signs be illuminated?
Yes. Back-lit acrylic (with LED behind) creates striking visual effects. Backlit acrylic works exceptionally well for signage in building lobbies and storefronts.
Are acrylic signs suitable for outdoor installation?
Acrylic is outdoor-durable for covered spaces (storefronts with overhangs, covered patios). For continuous sun exposure, UV-resistant acrylic is necessary, and vinyl or metal alternatives may be more cost-effective.
How do you attach acrylic signs to walls?
We provide mounting hardware options including French cleats, standoff spacers, or adhesive backing depending on your wall type and preferences. Professional installation ensures security.
Can you engrave designs onto acrylic?
Yes. Engraving creates professional effects for logos, text, or decorative elements. Engraved acrylic adds dimension and elegance to premium signage installations.
