Thicker sign frame tubing is stronger. Larger extruded aluminum tube is more resistant to flex. Larger Aluminum tube allows for stronger connections and corners. With a stronger frame, your sign will be more level, straight and look less like a flimsy tent.
The printed fabric cover won’t be able to flex or deform the frame. Another benefit to using larger frame tube is that you can use smaller diameter tube for the vertical supports. The benefit of this is that smaller vertical supports cannot be seen thru the fabric. Also the greater distance makes it harder for light to pass thru.
A third benefit may be the most important. With a more rigid frame, less hang points will be required to hang the sign. Fewer hang points means few hang wires above the sign and less rigging cost to hang your sign. Ask any Rigger and he will tell you cheap signs always cost more to hang.
So, resisting flex and hiding frame components and minimizing hang points are the primary reasons for a thicker hanging sign frame. For us, the thicker sign looks more substantial and custom and that benefit alone is worth additional cost.
Yes, it can double the cost to print both sides of a sign. As an alternative we offer 30 standard solid polyester colors for your signs second surface. Often one of these 30 colors can compliments a companies corporate colors.
If not there are white, black and greys that can be used to compliment your rental booth design.
Yes we can add a motor to your order than installs between the rigging cable and the sign harness. This is a small motor with 2 speed settings.
Keep in mind that the motor will require power dropped from the ceiling with the rigging cable, which can be costly. We’re happy to help you locate the power drop price in your Exhibitor Show Manual.
