Lamination is available for extended product life and recommended for all outdoor uses.

Approximate Product Life:  Varies depending on final application but typical product life is up to 12 months without lamination and up to 36 months with lamination.  Most of our customers experience longer outdoor life with lamination but the life depends on the environmental conditions to which they are exposed.

*As with all materials, life expectancy may vary depending on how well the sign is maintained.  Signs should be stored in a Vertical position and never laid flat or stacked on each other.  All signs should be stored inside when not being used.  Excessive exposure to salt water, moisture and heat may also affect the life of the sign.  There are many variables that can affect the life of your sign but if you maintain it properly it should provide you at least the minimum life as described above for each material.
