What Is: Sign Supplies?
Sign supplies are the myriad of components that can be used to create all types of signage, from huge billboards to vehicle wraps and printed balloons. While sign companies (those that actually make the signs) often specialize in a particular type of signage, sign supply businesses generally supply materials for all types of signs, from traditional individually-lettered signage to signs created using computer software. A partial list of materials included within the category of sign supplies would include vinyl and vinyl cutters; application tape; paint and painting accessories; substrates (solid substances to which other substances such as ink or paint are applied, and to which those applied substances adhere); printers and engravers; garment printers; neon transformers, LED products, ballasts and lamps; aluminum sheeting; sign frames, posts and stakes; tape and adhesives; software and digital media accessories; laminates; and inks and print cartridges. Sign supply businesses may also provide support and training in the use of their products.
