A lasting & vivid brand image
Vacuum formed sign faces, also known as pan formed sign faces or thermoformed sign faces, feature the long term durability of heat formed polycarbonate and modified acrylics. Comet Signs by Stratus manufactures vacuum formed 3D sign faces in San Antonio, Texas with five custom-designed vacuum forming ovens. Using the latest forming technology with specially formulated thermoforming inks and paints designed specifically for plastics, your thermoformed sign face will provide a lasting and vivid brand image.
With custom-designed forming ovens providing face sizes up to 12′ x 14′, your branding project couldn’t be in better hands. Each year Comet Signs by Stratus manufactures thousands of vacuum-formed 3D sign faces for the petroleum industry as well as custom projects. Our vacuum formed faces can be manufactured in a cap-over design for single face cloud signs mounted to building or canopy fascia’s or mounted in aluminum extrusion for easy attachment to double-faced pylon or monument cabinets. The benefit provided by a UV coated polycarbonate with the second surface applied paint or digitally applied ink is long-lasting protection from the elements and harsh UV rays.
Check out our video to see the process of heating the polycarbonate to an exact temperature before large vacuum pumps mold the plastic around the mold.
