Sign Grade Polycarbonate

Sign Grade Polycarbonate from Piedmont Plastics

Sign grade polycarbonate is a performance plastic known for its strength, clarity, and impact resistance. Lighter than glass but much stronger, this material is built to handle tough environments without cracking or breaking. It's also UV-resistant and weatherable, making it a smart choice for both indoor and outdoor signage.

One of the biggest benefits of sign grade polycarbonate is its ability to resist damage from impact, sunlight, and temperature changes. It can be cut, shaped, and thermoformed, which makes it popular with fabricators who need a reliable material that’s simple to work with and mold. With excellent optical clarity, it’s perfect for signs that need to be both eye-catching and durable.

Common applications include illuminated signs, channel letters, menu boards, LEDs, retail displays, and protective sign covers. Because of its toughness and long-lasting performance, sign grade polycarbonate is also used in bus shelters and transit signs.

As a trusted performance plastic distributor, Piedmont Plastics offers a wide selection of sign grade polycarbonate sheet in various thicknesses, colors, and finishes. Our experienced team is here to help you find the best option for your next project.
