Maintenance
- Use acrylic signs for long-term indoor use or for short-term outdoor use in areas protected by overhangs or awnings. (This does not apply to acrylic used in light box signs)
- Handle acrylic signs with care because acrylic scratches easily and can shatter or chip upon impact
- Do not leave acrylic in direct sun or in a hot car; it may bow or bend if not laying flat.
