It's important to choose the right kind of business sign, and one of the most crucial decisions is the type of material you'll use. Most businesses opt for a solid hanging sign projected out from their property, but fabric hanging signs are often a lot more advantageous. Here are just four reasons why.

1. Low Cost

Probably one of the most compelling reasons to opt for a fabric sign instead of a solid one is that you'll save quite a lot of money by doing so. The raw materials required for a solid sign generally cost more than those used for a fabric sign, and the production process is a lot more time and labour intensive. If you choose to have a metal sign made through rotary engraving, for example, expensive machinery will need to be used and tools will need to be changed. In contrast, fabric signs simply need to be cut to size and then printed upon.

2. Extremely Light

You've probably already guessed that a fabric sign made from polyester, vinyl or nylon is going to be significantly lighter than a solid sign made from plastic, wood, or metal, but it's easy to forget just how advantageous that can be. For starters, installation is a lot easier. As long as the supporting pole is attached to the front of your property, climbing up a ladder and hooking on the plastic sign is easy – you won't even need any power tools or expertise. The great thing about this is that you can take the sign on or off at will without a fuss.

3. Create Multiple Options

Since fabric signs are easy to fit and not particularly expensive, you have the option to create difference signs for different seasons or events. You can have a slightly different sign for Christmas or Australia Day, or you can have different signs for summer and winter. If you want to have different solid signs, you'll have to spend a lot of money and call a professional whenever you want to make a change.

4. Photographic Quality

Finally, fabric signs are renowned for creating images at photographic quality, despite their low cost. The reason this can happen is because the materials they are made from can be printed upon very easily, and the texture of the fabric will make the image seem less artificial than it would on a simple piece of metal or wood.
