Anti-Graffiti Signs for Schools and Universities in Los Angeles, CA!

Protecting your signage investment has become a lot easier with the arrival of graffiti-proof laminates. For example, just recently, we designed, produced, and installed anti-graffiti signs for schools in Los Angeles at the Van Wig Elementary School and other locations.

The Basset Unified School District Advertises School Upgrades With Graffiti-Proof Post and Panel Signs

Administrators at the Basset Unified School District have big plans for the new school year. They will undertake a state-of-the-art sports field modernization at Don Julian Elementary and next-generation sports field improvements at the Edgewood Academy. The client asked us to put together post and panel signs explaining the upgrades and place them in front of Van Wig Elementary School, Torch Middle School, and the affected campuses.

These post and panel signs feature full-color photos on a white background. Moreover, there is information about the projects’ scope and the funding source for the upgrades. To protect the signs from being defaced by graffiti, permanent marker scribbles, and spray paint, our technicians added an anti-graffiti laminate. Doing so is an excellent way of protecting the school district’s investment in its newest signs and graphics.

What are Anti-Graffiti Laminates?

These laminates are a protective layer we apply over the finished signage. It creates a highly effective barrier that allows maintenance staff to clean up graffiti vandalism. Without the laminate, the chemicals of the paints permeate the sign material and need to be either painted over or lead to the sign’s replacement. 

Advantages of Using Anti-Graffiti Signs for Schools and Universities in Los Angeles and the OC

We have already touched on the fact that graffiti-proof laminates protect your signage investment. Whether you are placing post and panel signs, wall murals, or interior signs like wayfinding markers, the laminate protects these signage solutions. That said, there are additional reasons to protect your signs.

• Preserve a campus’s appearance. Signs and graphics that look professional and are free from vandalism look excellent even after being installed for several weeks, months, or years. Even in high-traffic areas or those prone to vandalism, your signage remains looking great. 
• Create a positive environment. Additionally, graffiti-proof signs help contribute to a safer atmosphere. You can avoid disrespectful dialog brought on by gang-specific scribbles or suggestive images. By the way, when taggers realize that their “artwork” does not stick around, they are less likely to attempt further vandalism of your signs. 
• Improve a sign’s overall durability. While it makes paint and permanent marker easy to remove, anti-graffiti laminate also protects the sign from general wear. Graphics will not fade, and the material will not be susceptible to the type of surface damage frequent cleanings may cause.
