3. LEARN ABOUT OUR LATEST PRODUCTS

Not only are we highlighting two amazingly durable, simple, and flexible systems, but when you stop by our booth, you will also see what we have been prototyping for all our tactile, thermoformed ADA signage as well! Here's a little about our CHAMELEON and OCTOPUS wayfinding products;

What is CHAMELEON?

Chameleon is a flexible monolith directional system that has standard sizes, but can also be specified as a bespoke sign. Highly durable and secure, the CHAMELEON can be internally illuminated and available in a variety of finishes. Can incorporate virtually any material that is in sheet form (i.e.; aluminum, glass, stone, and timber). Stunningly simple and easy to install, a pair of proprietary aluminum structural posts hold infill panels at faces and sides.

What is OCTOPUS?

OCTOPUS represents a new generation of fingerpost systems. An engineered product, OCTOPUS is constructed from robust aluminum extrusions. Each collar has eight fixing positions and five collars can be stacked on top of each other maximizing the wayfinding flexibility.  What makes OCTOPUS unique, is the octagonal telescopic spline that holds the collars in position. This can be raised or lowered to add or remove collars, without re-engineering on site. Easy installation. Variety of mounting options.

4. YOU HAD ME AT FLORIDA…

Home base for Encompass Sign Systems is located in the chilly, snow-covered city of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This will be our third year exhibiting at ISA Sign Expo since the start-up of sales in 2016. Encompass Sign Systems has grown exponentially in the last two years and we could not have done it without, you! We look forward to more great memories, seeing familiar faces, and most importantly enjoying the Networking sessions with all our customers, new and old. See you at B.B. King’s Pointe, on Thursday night!

5. LEARN ABOUT THE LATEST INNOVATIONS IN THERMOFORMING / COMPRESSION MOLDING SIGNAGE

For those of you searching for the most durable, Interior Signage products, we will be highlighting our latest innovations in thermoformed tactile ADA signage.

Our tactile ADA signs are manufactured with the thermoforming, compression-molding process. This process enables designers the creative latitude to accentuate their client’s brand stylings.  Unprecedented quality, design-rich capabilities and a wholesale pricing model, all combine to result in compelling sign packages that meet all ADA requirements.

Looking to Design a Sign?

When it comes to creating tactile ADA signs, no one understands the process better than us. Whether you are a designer, architect, sign company or building owner, we are here to help you find the right exterior and interior signage solution for you.

See our specifications sheet for an in-depth look at our process. If you are a designer looking for an even more simplified design process, try our 101400 Studio for free.

A Gold Timex to Photopolymer ADA Signage!

Thanks for your service to industry for the last 25 years. Photopolymer signs have been the predominant choice of designers for tactile ADA signage for a quarter of a century. Thankfully, at the inception of ADA legislation in the late 80’s and early 90’s photopolymer signs provided a standard process and uniform look for ADA signage. 

Without photopolymer ADA signs, designers in the 90’s would have chosen sub-standard, ineffective and random sign designs for their building environments. 

Before Beanie Babies, the World Wide Web, and before anyone understood the importance of branding…. photopolymer signs made it easier to outfit a building with ADA signs.  Even after the Japanese tsunami forced core prices to double, photopolymer signs remained the only good choice for designers. Thankfully, new technology has finally evolved. 

Thermoformed ADA signs give designers the creative latitude and durability that designers need to meet their client’s branding needs, at an appealing price point.  It’s no surprise that according to Dodge Analytics, “Thermoformed ADA signs” saw an increase of 237% in Specifications in 2016. Thermoformed signs are now universally acknowledged in Specs as an “approved equal” to photopolymer signs and that’s a big win for ADA thermoforming manufacturers. Those who really know about the differences between photopolymer ADA signs and thermoformed ADA signs are knocking clients off their feet with new ideas never available until now.

Photopolymer signs are still plenty viable.  There are over 3,000 sign-makers that still maintain their relationship with the two surviving raw material photopolymer providers. Machinery needed to produce these signs still exists and is almost free to get started; it’s the raw photopolymer material price increases to watch out for...  While Father Time and new technology may have caught up to photopolymers signs, their contribution and service to the industry over the last 25 years certainly must be treasured!
