Frequently Asked Questions

We often get questions about our custom marquee signs. Here are a few of the most common:

What is a marquee sign?

A marquee is a large and often brightly lit sign typically used for promotional purposes. It's usually placed in a prominent location, such as outside a store, restaurant, or business building. Marquee reader signs can be made from various materials, including neon signs and LED displays.

How do you install a marquee sign?

Installing a marquee involves a few key steps. First, you need to mount the sign and secure it in place. This may involve using screws, nails, or other fasteners that are strong enough to hold the sign. Once the sign is secured, you will need to run any necessary wiring for lighting or other electrical components. Finally, you'll need to connect the sign to a power source so it can be turned on and off whenever needed. With these steps in place, your marquee signage should be ready for use.

What materials are used to make message reader board signs?

Message reader signs, or marquees, are typically made from a combination of materials. The most common materials used are aluminum, plastic, vinyl, and wood. The specific material chosen will depend on the size and shape of the sign as well as its intended use. Aluminum is a popular choice for outdoor signs due to its durability and weather resistance. Plastic is often used for smaller indoor signs due to its lightweight nature. Vinyl is commonly used for large indoor signs that need to be able to flex in certain directions. Wood may be used for more decorative or vintage-style signs when a more classic look is desired.

What are changeable letter boards?

Changeable letter boards are a type of marquee reader sign that allows businesses to easily update their message in real time. These signs consist of individual letters, symbols, and numbers that can be affixed to a board or grid. They are often used for display purposes, such as advertising special events or sales promotions. They're an incredibly versatile way for businesses to communicate with their customers, allowing them to quickly and easily update their messaging without having to purchase a new sign every time.

What are the common sizes of these signs?

Marquee signage comes in a variety of sizes, from small signs for business storefronts to larger sign structures for sports stadiums. Common sizes for these signs include 2 feet by 8 feet and 4 feet by 8 feet, though larger signs may be available depending on the manufacturer. These signs can be customized with text, images, and other designs to meet the specific needs of the customer.

Big portable marquee signs are a great way to advertise your business or event. These signs are usually large and easily visible from a distance, making them an ideal choice for outdoor advertising. Marquees can be set up quickly and taken down just as easily, making them convenient for temporary events or promotions. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, so you can find one that fits your needs. Marquee signs are often customizable with logos, graphics, and text so you can create the perfect look for your business or event.

Are there any tips for designing an effective marquee reader board sign?

Designing an effective reader board sign requires careful consideration. The text should be short, clear, and concise so that it can be read quickly and easily by passing motorists. It's also important to use bold font and bright colors so that the sign stands out from the background. Adding a few symbols or images can also help to draw the eye while avoiding too much clutter will ensure that your message is not lost in the design. Including an appropriate call to action can help encourage viewers to take the desired action. By following these tips, you can create a visually appealing and attention-grabbing sign.

How do you maintain a marquee reader board sign?

Maintaining a marquee reader board sign is important to ensure that it functions properly and looks great. First, inspect the sign regularly for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracked bulbs or loose wiring. Replace any broken bulbs as soon as possible and fix any other issues that may arise. Additionally, keep the sign clean by wiping down the surface with a damp cloth on a regular basis. Finally, consider adding protective sealant to the sign to keep it water-resistant and make sure it stays looking great for years to come.

Are message board signs good for outdoor use?

Message board signs are great for outdoor use, as they are designed to be able to withstand the elements. They can be constructed from durable aluminum or plastic frames that can handle wind, rain, and sun exposure. Plus, the sign faces can feature printed graphics that are designed to last even in the harshest of conditions. Many marquee reader board signs come with additional features such as LED lights, a plastic cover, and reflective surfaces that make them ideal for outdoor advertising in any environment.

Do you sell portable marquee sign replacement parts?

We even sell customizable parts tailored to your specific marquee signage needs. To find the right part for your marquee, simply browse our selection or contact us with your requirements.

What is a marquee light box?

A marquee light box is an illuminated sign that is typically mounted on the exterior of a building. They are used to advertise businesses, events, or announcements and can be seen from long distances. They are also sometimes referred to as “neon signs” due to the bright colors they use. Marquee light boxes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles to suit any need. With its high visibility and eye-catching appeal, a marquee light box can help draw attention to your business or event.

What is a reader board display case?

A reader board display case is a great way to showcase your letter signs in a professional and stylish manner. These cases are designed to hold the marquees securely while allowing them to be easily seen and read by the public. They typically feature an acrylic window that allows for maximum visibility, as well as additional shelves or compartments for storing any additional materials. A reader board display case can be wall-mounted or free-standing, depending on your needs and space requirements, making them perfect for any business looking to make a statement with their marquee signage.

A reader board display case provides protection from the elements and keeps your message visible even in bad weather. These cases are often made of heavy-duty materials that can withstand humidity, extreme temperatures, and other environmental conditions.
