Located at 17W733 Butterfield Road, Minuteman Press is your go-to solution for flyers, brochures, postcards, calendars, and a broad range of additional customizable paper products. When the company needed a 3D letter building sign in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, the business connected with our sign shop to assist with the project.
Medium Density Overlay (MDO) Letters Allow for Excellent Branding
We worked with the client and decided on the use of medium-density overlay (MDO). This material consists of a unique plywood product that features a weather-resistant adhesive, making it suitable for changing temperatures and weather conditions. Best of all, the material does not warp, even if the weather changes from hot to cold quickly.
As a result, many local businesses like to use MDO for the design, production, and installation of building letters and other outdoor signs. For Minuteman Press, our technicians cut the letters to replicate the company’s selected font. Next, we painted the elements in the corporate tones the company had selected. Finally, we went to the building to install the letters flush to the brick wall. They look great and do a superior job branding the venue.
Why Do More and More Businesses Request MDO Signs?
There used to be a time when it was mostly the real estate firm that would request signage panels made from MDO. However, since that time, there has been a distinctive change in the business community’s preferences.
- One or two-sided. If you are thinking of using the material for the design of a monument or post and panel setup, consider that we can put together a double-sided design. Real estate companies, property managers, and developers like the idea that these signs can also be reusable for various sites.
- Suitable for shaping. In the past, most business clients ordered standard rectangular signs. Now, they are commissioning 3D letters or even customized shapes that take on the form of a logo or other image. With the edges of the material sealed and then painted, cutting MDO will not allow any water to enter the sign.
- Pick a finish. We can assist with a matte or glossy finish. A vinyl overlay will adhere well and allow you to add an anti-graffiti laminate. If you are situated in an area where signage undergoes significant dampness or water exposure, we recommend marine-grade MDO.
If you decide on a post and panel sign, we recommend pressure-treated wood or vinyl for the posts. Another material choice is metal. By the way, if we treat the sign with an imprinted vinyl overlay, we can remove it if necessary and replace it with a different overlay. This step saves you money if you rebrand or need to make other changes to the product.
