SignForm Systems

SignForm Systems offers the world's first compression thermoforming system for manufacturing custom Architectural and ADA/DDA Compliant Signage. Our evolving portfolio of creative thermoformed products have led to a dramatic increase in Division 10 specifications. SignForm presses are designed and built exclusively for Architectural Sign Makers to fabricate the most versatile, sustainable and functional tactile signage available today. The Advantages of Thermoforming: 1) Compression Thermoformed ADA Signage is manufactured at a fraction of the time and cost of photopolymer. 2) Economy of Scale: The cost of manufacturing repeats (multiples of same sign) drops significantly and can lower finished cost to under $0.10 p/sq.in. 3) There are no licenses, fees or IP impediments to bring thermoforming in-house. 4) Compression Thermoformed signs are monolithic, making them nearly indestructible! 5) The process involves no adhesives, chemicals or costly water disposal. 6) Energy consumption is less than virtually all other methods. 7) Old or overstock plastic inventory can be formed into new signs and generate fresh revenue. 8) All scrap, off-cuts, old or unused signs can be reintroduced into the system, even if finished or painted. This includes remakes or even signs made from photopolymer, applique, etc. 9) With 100% reintroduction possible, thermoformed signs can function for decades as new signage, regardless of how many times the sign changes. Theoretically, the same material can be sustained for hundreds of years in the same facility. 10) SignForm Systems offers a 100% post-consumer recycled plastic material "EnviroStrate" for blanks and a reinforced shatter-proof aluminum alternative for regulatory Traffic Signs
