A sign is a great way to make your business grow. In fact, a study by the University of San Diego School of Business found that a needed sign can create a significant increase in traffic and sales. A sign, whether it’s on your building or on the curb, announces who you are, what you do and attracts visitors to your business. Adding a sign may increase your revenue by as much as 15%*.

You only have about 3 seconds to catch the eye of the drive-by motorist, and about 11 seconds for walk-by traffic to notice your sign. You need to make the most of your business signage. Your signs need to get the message out quickly and attractively.

Companies worldwide are becoming more aware of the need to utilize products and processes that are environmentally friendly. This call also extends down to smaller, individually owned businesses—including SIGNS by SHANE sign and graphics centers.

SIGNS by SHANE continues to search out alternative products to meet the growing needs of our environmentally-conscious customers, while creating processes in our centers that are mindful of the environment for future generations.

Some environmentally responsible products are:

BIOflex™ is a durable white, flexible substrate readily available in seamless up to 16' 4'' (5.00m). Tear and fade resistant, it will withstand all types of weather conditions. BIOflex™ has been engineered to be the FIRST truly environmentally friendly, biodegradable PVC. It is well suited for applications that require a front-lit digitally printed sign or banner.

Xanita X-Board is a 100% natural fibre based sandwich board which has an internal core made from 100% recycled kraft. After its useful life it can again be repulped, making it 100% eco-friendly and assisting in reducing unfriendly landfill around the globe. X-Board is available in kraft or white top laminate depending on the final application requirements.

What are we doing today?

SIGNS by SHANE is becoming more environmentally-friendly by embracing UV curable print technology and using eco-solvent inks, which releases less waste into the air and promotes a cleaner environment. New centers opening with solvent printers use air purification systems to capture harmful vapors instead of venting them into the atmosphere.

SIGNS by SHANE centers are also offering more environmentally-friendly material options as an alternative to the standard banner and sign materials—and we’re keeping our eyes open for new eco-aware offerings that are coming onto the market.

Other initiatives currently in place by SIGNS by SHANE centers to do their part in preserving the environment include:

·         As possible, use products that are recycled or recyclable 

        (ie:  printer paper, old signs, materials scraps)

·         Dispose of hazardous materials properly (ie:  inks)

·         Consideration of purchasing products with minimum packaging

        or are sold in bulk, thereby reducing waste

·         Recycling toner cartridges through manufacturers

·         Using energy-efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs

·         Turn off unused equipment during nights and weekends

These are only the beginning steps. SIGNS by SHANE is committed to improving processes today for a better, cleaner, safer environment tomorrow.
