Aluminum, .080 gauge
Polymetal, 3mm
Corrugated Plastic, 4mm

OVERLAMINATE PROTECTION

At Sign Cat, we prioritize longevity. While our signs are built to endure, natural exposure over time can impact their performance. Our Overlaminate provides a protective shield for the inks, safeguarding against degradation, moisture, and abrasion. This permanent adhesive is a valuable addition, enhancing the overall lifespan of your signs. Explore the benefits of Sign Cat’s Overlaminate for sustained durability and performance, illustrated below.

Reflectivity Sheeting

At Sign Cat, we understand the pivotal role of effective reflectivity in ensuring safety on the road. We recommend the use of 3M High Intensity reflective sheeting for Street Name signs and directional signs. Diamond-Grade sheeting is also available for signs placed in high-traffic scenarios. Check the illustrations below for a clear comparison of reflective sheeting types. Always refer to FHWA and MUTCD requirements before placing your order for road signs.
