These types of signs are popular for their economy and quick turnaround time. Faces can be easily swapped or even redecorated. Flat face signs are popular for building sign cabinets, multi-cabinet pylon signs and smaller secondary signage. Most any sign company will offer this kind of product, but few can match the talent of Arrow Sign Company in making these kinds of signs look good and function properly.

Many different looks can be achieved with flat faces. They can be incorporated into architectural type signs and informational sign systems. Graphics design on the face can be colorfully aggressive or tastefully restrained. The biggest cost savings is gained by using a white face and single translucent vinyl color for lettering. There is one drawback to this economical approach. A white face can overpower its lettering when illuminated. Regular or thin weight lettering can easily disappear when viewed at a distance.

Flat plastic face signs have some design limitations. Cabinets must have adequate depth to prevent internal lighting "hotspots" behind the face when viewed at night. This is a critical issue to consider when using a flat face to replace an old or damaged vacuum formed face. Sizes for flat faces are best limited to 4' X 8' and under. Some larger sizes can be accomodated, but splicing methods may be necessary.
