Where you’ll use it Custom cut out signs are particularly effective as point of sale sign solutions, retail display signs and event display props. The contour cutting allows logos, mascots or product shapes to stand out from flat graphics, making them perfect for shop windows, on-stand brand features, sampling props and temporary promotions. Because the board is lightweight, teams find it easy to transport between venues and reinstall during multi-day events.
