What are the uses of acrylic board advertising production
Acrylic board is widely used in the field of advertising production, covering almost all forms of modern advertising signs, and is an indispensable high-quality material in the advertising production industry. Its emergence completely changed the traditional way of advertising display, upgrading from simple flat displays to a three-dimensional advertising system that combines daytime aesthetics and nighttime illumination.
1. Light box products: Acrylic light boxes are advertising display devices made of high-purity organic glass panels, with a light transmittance of 96%. They have strong outdoor weather resistance and UV resistance, and colored panels will not fade after being placed outdoors for 8 to 10 years. The product forms include vacuum formed light boxes, silk screen light boxes, groove shaped luminous characters, etc. The shapes include square, circular, and irregular shapes, with strong three-dimensional sense and pure color characteristics.
2. Luminous characters/signs: including vacuum formed characters, flat luminous characters, borderless characters, stainless steel small edge characters, back luminous characters, etc. The font has high glossiness, strong three-dimensional effect, high and uniform luminous brightness, and can be easily seen from hundreds of meters away at night. The third generation LED signs adopt a surface emitting method, filling the market gap and providing the best illuminated signage solution for the advertising signage industry.
3. Display stand/stand: Acrylic display stand is widely used for commercial display - booth design of high-end products such as cosmetics, perfume, jewelry, etc. by virtue of transparency, plasticity and durability. Including a multi-layered stepped design for displaying collectibles such as blind boxes and figurines, an L-shaped/rotating design for displaying small electronic products from multiple angles, and a built-in LED light strip with lighting to enhance the display effect.
4. Identification signs: From simple signs to complex signage systems, and even to large corporate image signs, acrylic sheets have become one of the preferred materials for the production of identification signs due to their rich color selection and good processing performance.
5. Poster stand/menu stand: Customized A2, A3, A4 electronic acrylic poster stands, folding stands, magnetic display lights, etc. are a popular new advertising method commonly used to display menus or sales lists. Multiple display stands are hung together to showcase individual items or a group of attributes.
6. Crystal font: Made by laser engraving or CNC cutting, the font has a crystal like transparent texture and is widely used in high-end advertising applications such as corporate image walls, background walls, and exhibition hall signage.
In advertising production materials, acrylic sheets mainly compete with glass, PVC sheets, metal sheets, etc., but acrylic has unique advantages:
Comparison dimension: Acrylic board, glass, PVC board
Light transmittance of 92% -96%, with soft and uniform light of about 90%, but prone to glare and reflection, opaque or opaque
Safe and not fragile, even if broken, it does not produce sharp fragments. Fragile, sharp fragments have safety hazards after breakage, high safety
The weight density is about 1.19g/cm ³, which is only half the density of glass and about 2.5g/cm ³, making it heavier and lighter
Processing performance: Hot forming, carving, cutting, and hot bending are all easy to process and difficult to process, requiring professional equipment for easy processing
After adding UV absorbers, the weather resistance is good for 8-10 years outdoors without fading, but it is easily affected by temperature differences and prone to aging and deformation outdoors
Color expression: Rich in colors, customizable for any color, limited in color choices
In addition, compared with traditional neon lights, acrylic blister light boxes have advantages such as not damaging the appearance of buildings during the day, outstanding three-dimensional lighting effect at night, and recyclability and environmental protection. In recent years, their application has developed rapidly and have been widely used in scenarios such as gas stations and mobile terminal stores.
The performance characteristics of acrylic sheets in advertising production can be summarized as follows:
1. Excellent light transmission performance: The light transmission rate of acrylic board can reach over 92%, with soft light and clear vision. The transparent board is crystal clear and transparent, with excellent light transmission and dazzling brilliance. Acrylic colored with dyes has a good color development effect.
2. Excellent outdoor weather resistance: Acrylic board has strong adaptability to the natural environment, even if it is exposed to sunlight, wind and rain for a long time, its performance will not change, and its anti-aging performance is good. After coating the panel with high concentration ultraviolet absorbers, it can maintain long-term weather resistance and colorfastness, with a service life of up to 5 to 8 years. Colored boards will not fade when placed outdoors for 8 to 10 years.
3. Safety and lightweight: The density of acrylic sheet is only half that of glass, and its impact resistance is much better than glass. There is almost no risk of breakage, and even if it is damaged, it will not form sharp fragments like glass. This is particularly important for hanging advertising light boxes and hanging signs, greatly reducing safety hazards and installation difficulties.
4. Excellent processing performance: It is suitable for both mechanical processing (cutting, carving, drilling) and easy to thermoform processing (hot bending, vacuum forming). Thermoforming produces visually striking signs and logos with simple processing and reasonable cost.
5. Surface gloss and rich color: The surface gloss is high, smooth and even. There are various colors and surface effects such as transparent, semi transparent, and milky white. It is made of new polyester material and is formed by hot bending or flat edging. The metal base is equipped with a built-in light source, which has a strong visual impact.
6. Environmental protection and energy conservation: With good transparency, the demand for light source products is correspondingly reduced, saving electricity. Waste materials can be thoroughly recycled, and the recycling process is simple and easy. Acrylic material itself is non-toxic and does not release toxic gases when burned.
7. Excellent surface hardness and scratch resistance: The product provides good protection for the built-in light source, extending the service life of the light source product.
8. Good chemical resistance: superior to most other plastic materials, easy to clean and maintain, ensuring that the appearance of signs and light boxes remains new all year round, rain and moisture resistant, and easy to repair.
The outdoor service life of acrylic advertising products is directly related to the quality of the boards used:
Brand new acrylic sheet: Acrylic sheets made from pure precision materials through casting and extrusion processes have the best quality and a service life of generally 8 to 10 years without any problems. After adding UV absorbers, the outdoor weather resistance is excellent, and the service life can reach 5 to 8 years. Some high-quality products' colored boards will not fade after being placed outdoors for 8 to 10 years.
Acrylic light box service life: The service life of high-quality acrylic light boxes can reach 8 to 15 years. Products made of high-quality acrylic material and imported color paste will not fade for 10 years, and can achieve long-term stable operation with ultra high brightness LED.
The lifespan differences of different types of acrylic sheets: According to different material grades, they can be divided into three categories - fully precision cast/extruded sheets with a lifespan of 8 to 10 years; The service life of mixed boards that partially use recycled materials is generally about 5 years; Composite boards (made of acrylic, PC, ABS, etc.) are prone to cracking in temperature changing climates due to different materials, and have a service life of only 2 to 3 years.
The performance difference between new and recycled materials: New acrylic material has excellent UV resistance, with no yellowing, no fading, no cracking for at least 5 years, and a light transmittance greater than 92%; The anti UV performance of the return board is very poor, and it is prone to yellowing, fading, and cracking. The light transmittance is less than 80%, and it will turn yellow within six months at most.
There are several main ways to cut acrylic sheets in advertising production:
1. Laser cutting: CO ₂ laser cutting machine is the mainstream equipment for acrylic processing, which achieves non-contact and high-precision cutting by accurately melting and vaporizing acrylic through laser energy. The advantages of laser cutting include: a smooth and mirror like flame polishing effect on the incision, completely eliminating the traditional process of polishing and grinding after cutting; High cutting accuracy, with a positioning accuracy of up to ± 0.01mm, capable of accurately cutting complex curves, hollow patterns, and small apertures (with a minimum cutting size of 0.5mm); Fast cutting speed, for 3mm thick acrylic sheets, the cutting speed can reach 3 to 5m/min, which is 2 to 3 times faster than mechanical cutting; The highest material utilization rate can reach over 95%. Laser cutting is suitable for thin plates ranging from 0.5mm to about 6mm, and is particularly suitable for complex shapes such as three-dimensional fonts and display stands in advertising signs.
2. CNC mechanical cutting: using CNC machine tools for physical cutting, suitable for thicker acrylic materials (usually exceeding 10mm), can provide stable accuracy, especially when carving depth or three-dimensional effects are needed, it performs better. CNC cutting is suitable for thick plate cutting, large-scale machining, and 3D modeling production.
3. Sawing: Using a band saw or circular saw for cutting, suitable for simple linear cutting and sheet slitting, with fast speed and low equipment requirements, but the cutting edge may not be smooth enough and requires subsequent polishing treatment.
4. Hot bending forming: In addition to cutting, products such as vacuum formed lightboxes also require hot bending or vacuum forming processing. Cast plates are suitable for hot forming to produce visually striking signs and logos. Before hot bending, the sheet needs to be heated to the softening temperature (about 140 to 160 ℃), and then placed into the mold for molding.
Q1: Why do acrylic billboards turn yellow?
The main reason is the use of recycled materials or the absence of anti UV agents in the materials. The brand new acrylic material has added ultraviolet absorbers, which will not turn yellow for at least 5 years outdoors; Recycled sheets can turn yellow outdoors for up to six months and are prone to cracking under ultraviolet radiation. In addition, choosing outdoor specialized panels and using UV resistant coatings can effectively avoid yellowing problems.
Q2: What is the transmittance and brightness of acrylic lightboxes?
The light transmittance of high-quality acrylic lightboxes can reach over 96%, with soft and uniform light. The surface emitting method ensures high brightness and uniformity of the light, and when combined with a bright LED light source, it can be easily seen from hundreds of meters away at night.
Q3: Are acrylic advertising products prone to deformation?
Acrylic resin has a linear expansion rate, and long-term use at a temperature of about 80 ℃ can cause deformation at high temperatures. For large-area thin sheet products, deformation problems can be alleviated by using reinforcing ribs, selecting a reasonable thickness (5mm or more is recommended for large-area lightboxes), and controlling the ambient temperature.
Q4: Are acrylic billboards easy to scratch?
The surface hardness of acrylic resin is roughly the same as that of aluminum, and it belongs to a harder type in plastics, but it is still necessary to avoid scratching with hard objects when using it. It is recommended to process and install as much as possible while sticking the protective film, and then peel it off. Mild scratches can be repaired with professional polishing agents and polishing cloths.
Q5: Why is there smoke and odor when laser cutting acrylic?
If cutting with a return sheet, it will produce smoke and a pungent odor; When cutting pure new acrylic sheets, there is less odor and smoke. Therefore, when it is required that advertising products have a delicate texture and are environmentally friendly and hygienic, pure new material boards must be used.
Q6: How to clean and maintain acrylic billboards?
Use a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent diluent to wipe. Avoid using dry cloth to wipe vigorously (as it can easily attract dust with electricity), and also avoid using rough cloth or cleaning agents containing abrasive components.
