Unlock the Potential of Your Signage with the Ideal Material
Choosing the right material for your business signage is crucial for maximizing its effectiveness and longevity. The material you select impacts not only the appearance and durability of your sign but also its maintenance needs and overall cost. At F.W. Haxel, we understand the nuances of each material and can guide you through selecting the perfect option for your specific needs.
Explore Your Signage Material Options
From traditional wood and metal to modern acrylic and digital displays, the options are vast:
- Vinyl: Flexible, cost-effective, and ideal for vibrant, eye-catching graphics.
- Acrylic: Offers a glossy finish with a professional look, suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
- Metal: Durable and timeless, perfect for a sleek corporate appearance.
- Wood: Brings a classic, rustic feel to any setting and is best used indoors.
- Digital Displays: High impact, versatile, and great for engaging customers with dynamic content.
Key Factors in Material Selection
When selecting a material, consider these essential factors:
- Durability and Weather Resistance: Choose materials that can withstand the conditions they will be exposed to, especially for outdoor signs.
- Visibility and Aesthetic Appeal: Ensure the material complements your brand’s image and enhances visibility.
- Maintenance Requirements: Consider how much time and resources you can dedicate to sign maintenance.
Tailoring Material to Signage Type
- Outdoor vs. Indoor: Materials like metal and certain plastics are best for outdoor use due to their durability and weather resistance, whereas wood and some acrylics are more suited for indoor signs.
- Illuminated Signs: Acrylic and polycarbonate are excellent for illuminated signs because they allow light to pass through and are easy to mold.
- Temporary vs. Permanent: For temporary signs, consider materials like vinyl or coroplast, which are cost-effective and easy to install and remove.
Balancing Cost and Quality
Material costs can vary significantly, but it’s important to consider the long-term benefits of choosing a higher-quality material that will last longer and require less maintenance. We help you find the right balance to meet your budget without sacrificing quality.

TESTIMONIALS
I am writing this letter as a testimonial for F.W. Haxel Flags and Banners.
My organization was established September 7, 1947 as the Baltimore Colts' Marching Band in which continued to operate throughout the years 1951/52 and 1984/95 when Baltimore lost the Colts twice and with the establishment of the Baltimore Ravens Football Team in 1996 our band became Baltimore's Marching Ravens.
Over 75 years, F.W. Haxel has produced all of our flags, banners and recruitment displays and has the honor of having their flags and banners in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about F.W. Haxel Flags and Banners. They give quality, great prices, fantastic designs, and long lasting products. They work with you until you are totally satisfied and show great pride in serving you as a customer and a friend.
On a personal note, I have worked with four generations of the Haxel Family and I have seen first hand the dedication to their customers.

I’ve been working with FW Haxel for years and I can tell you that they are fantastic at what they do! They’ve made many flags and awnings for different locations of Christopher Schafer Clothier and Sharp Dressed Man. Our current flag setup on Aliceanna Street is gorgeous, I love the motion of the colorful flags it catches my eye every time I round the corner!

We have worked with F.W. Haxel for about 10 years. In those years they have made the process of getting our flagpoles ordered, installed, and inspected a breeze. Would highly recommend them for any needs you have and will continue using them for our projects going forward.
