Substrates
Substrates are the base materials used to build signs, panels, and structural display components. These rigid and semi-rigid materials provide the foundation that graphics, vinyl, paint, or finishes are applied to.
This category includes metals, composite panels, plastics, wood-based boards, magnetic materials, and specialty sign-making sheets. Each substrate offers different strengths from lightweight options for easy installation to heavy-duty materials designed for long-term outdoor durability.
Substrates are commonly used for business signage, construction signs, architectural panels, channel letters, dimensional lettering, and custom fabricated projects.
If your project needs a solid surface that can be mounted, routed, printed on, or built into a finished sign, substrates are the materials that make it possible.
