Let’s Talk Cheer Signs
Let’s talk Cheer Signs. Once upon a time, long, long ago, high school and college cheer leaders hand made all of their signs. Once technology in the printing world caught up, most cheer signs were professionally printed on the standard 4mm corrugated plastic. Those signs looked great, for a little while but they bent easy and after a few weeks of use, they more closely resembled a wet lasagna noodle than a cheer sign. With the cheer world constantly striving for improvement, sign companies began experimenting with stronger materials. 10mm corrugated plastic became the go to material. It still bent but not as easily and was still fairly light weight. Some also experimented with two pieces of 4mm corrugated with flutes that ran 90 degrees to each other to spread the strength of the flutes in both directions. This was better but not good enough. Enter 6mm pvc board. The PVC board looks great, it is smooth and rigid albeit a little heavy. PVC board looked like the best option until it was discovered that PVC board shatters when it gets cold which not only renders the sign useless but also presents a danger of sharp shards of plastic, causing injury. Here at the Booster Banner Store, we struggled, along with everyone else, continually looking for the best, most durable material for our signs. WE FOUND IT! We have a new circular flute material in a 4mm thickness that is strong, flexible and light weight. As a bonus, each of the small circles that make up the core, act like tiny little drums so when the board is slapped against the thigh, it is significantly louder than any of the other materials. The reason most companies don’t use this PERFECT material, is that they don’t have the equipment to cut it effectively. WE DO! The Booster Banner Store can print and cut your sign out of any material up to 4 feet x 8 feet in any design or shape you need. Give us a call or send us a note and let us get to work designing your new signs. www,boosterbannerstore.com
