Signs made with higher performance reflective sheeting are more visible and help improve safety. They also can save you money over the life of the sign. Signs deteriorate at different rates. Age, location, sun exposure and sheeting type all affect a sign’s useful lifespan.

The best measure of the cost of a sign is its life-cycle cost (i.e. the cost of the sign divided by its useful life). Factor in labor, hardware, administrative expenses and other costs that are incurred each time a sign needs replacement and the savings for longer-lasting signs gets even better.
