Eco-Friendly Sign Shop in Portland, Oregon

Although vinyl banners are not biodegradable, we do our best to reduce their impact by printing with eco-friendly inks using our eco-friendly printer.  We also dedicate our extra time to repurposing vinyl banners that are brought back to us, by creating stylish billboard and banner tote bags with the material.  Soon we hope to have a rack full of these reusable bags for our customers to take with them, as a token of our dedication to reducing our footprint.  Recycling, reducing, repurposing, reusing, upcycling...Many ways to do it, and we do whatever we can.

Portland Sign Shop offers eco-friendly banners, printed on biodegradable material, as well.  The material does cost more, and it is primarily for indoor or short-term outdoor use.  This is the flat banner material we use in our retractable banner displays.  We will always utilize the eco-friendly product, if it is available.

If the environment is important to you, you have found the perfect promotional sign, banner and trade show source for you.  Aside from our focus on ecology, we are dedicated to quality.  We are a small family owned and operated business and there is a strong sense of pride that goes in to each of our projects.  Our name and reputation rides on the quality of products we hand over to our customers.  We have over 20 years of experience in the sign industry and are grateful that we are able to do what we do, everyday.

We look forward to working with you!

Beautiful Video of Portland...I love it!

I am...What's the word?...Obsessed!  That's it!  I'm obsessed with this fantastic video of Portland, Oregon.  It takes my breath away.  I love Portland so much that this video actually takes me on an emotional roller-coaster.  I know it seems crazy, but I am sure many people in Portland can relate.  I could gush on forever about the air, the mountains, the trees, the coast, the rivers, the farms...  If you haven't been there, watch this video for a tiny peek.

Biodegradable

As you may know, we pride ourselves on using eco-friendly products and providing our customers with eco-friendly options.  I have noticed a variety of sign businesses marketing certain products as eco-friendly or biodegradable, which prompted me to contact the manufacturer of these products.  My thought was that if they are eco-friendly, I want my customers to know.  I was told that they are not to be marketed as made from recyclable or being recyclable, because they do not have documentation to support that.  Taking it even further, these products are made of Polyethylene, which is composed of long tightly-bonded molecules that cannot be broken down...ever.  Polyethylene products are among the most important to recycle.  I am disappointed that companies are misleading the consumer, so I wanted to take a moment to let you know that we will always be clear about which of our products are eco-friendly.  The environment is important to us.  As we continue to offer more eco-friendly products, we will place them in the eco-friendly category, so our customers can be certain about their choice.   ~ Arrowhead Signs

We were on a frosted vinyl window install, the other day, and we were talking with our customer about some of the other services we offer.  We are continually surprised to find out how many people don't know what kind of products and services we offer.  We are going to put together a brochure, so our new customers are aware, but in the meantime, here is a list of some of our products...


Cut Vinyl Letters, Logos & Numbers:  Can be applied to vinyl banners, windows, automobiles, boats, magnetics, aluminum, coroplast, foamboard, MDO site signs, lexan, acrylic, a-frame sidewalk signs, etc.  There is a HUGE variety of vinyl options, as well.  Color, quality, opacity, frosted, prismatic, florescent, chalkboard, reflective, dry-erase...seriously...a LOT of options!


Full Color Vinyl:  Used for wraps, wall skin or mural, or can be applied to vinyl banners, windows, automobiles, boats magnetics, aluminum, coroplast, foamboard, MDO site signs, lexan, acrylic, a-frame sidewalk signs, etc

Clear View Window Perf:  Full color vinyl, with tiny holes throughout, that allow you to see through the back side of the image, clearly.  This vinyl is to be applied to windows and vehicles and is our favorite style of vehicle advertising.  Your advertisement will make a high visual impact, without obstructing the driver's visibility.  Driving with a clear view car window ad is much safer than a window with cut vinyl images.  Clear view window perf on the windows of your business are great, too.  We have one that separates our lobby from our back offices.  It's a great way to advertise and we can still see the front of our store, as though we were simply looking through a screen...

Full Color Vinyl Banners:  Used for indoor or outdoor displays and made for a variety of mounting options.  Banners can be displayed as street banners, boulevard banners, light pole banners, retractable banner stands or trade show displays.  Banners can be mounted, installed, hung or displayed, a variety of ways, by using grommets, pole pockets or hardware.  We also offer mesh banners, which are great outdoor banners and especially good for hanging on fences, because the wind can easily blow through the mesh material.

Retractable Banner Stands:  This one is confusing, because there are so many different terms used for this product.  (Here are some examples - Rollup Banner, Roll-up Banner, Roll Up Banner, Pop-up Banner, Pop Up Banner, Pull-up Banner, Pull Up Banner, Banner Stand, Screen Banner Stand, Trade Show Banner Stand.)  We offer a variety of styles, as well...Such as eco-friendly, economy, indoor, outdoor, single-sided and double-sided options.  Basically, whatever your need is, we probably have a retractable banner stand that will accommodate your needs.

Real Estate Signs, Yard Signs, Site Signs:  These are typically the kinds of signs you see, mounted in the ground, and used by construction companies, realtors, pool companies and landscape designers.  Anything from angle iron h-frame signs with aluminum inserts, to coroplast signs with economy stakes.  These signs can be designed as one color cut vinyl or full color laminated vinyl.

Vehicle Lettering:  One color cut vinyl vehicle or window lettering, vehicle magnetic signs, full color vehicle wrap, partial wrap, window perf or a combination of any of the aforementioned.

A-Frames, Sidewalk SignsSandwich Boards:  We offer a variety of styles and sizes of sidewalk signs.  The displays can be wood or plastic.  The wood or plastic signs can have anything from one color cut vinyl, to a full color laminated decal applied to it.  We also offer plastic signs and wind signs that can have changeable sign insert...which are our favorites!  The Simpo Sign and Wind Sign are great, because once you make the initial investment of the frame, from then on, you only have to pay for the sign inserts, if you choose to change your message...and the substrate is double sided, which reduces your cost, as well!

Feather Banners:  These are full color fabric banners that are used for outdoor advertising.  Feather banners are a great way to get attention, because they basically wave "hey...look at me!"  These displays have a variety of height options and can be mounted by using a ground stake or stand.

Dimensional Lettering:  For indoor or outdoor use, with a variety of sizes, thickness, colors, finishes, fonts, materials and mounting.  These are not illuminated or electrical, so installation and set up are more affordable.

Back Lit Cabinet Sign Inserts:  Lexan sign insert with cut vinyl or full color vinyl applied to it.

Trade Show Info:  We offer a wide variety of trade show displays and graphics options.  Please call for more information, being as there are almost too many options to mention.  We are sure we will be able to assist you in finding display options that best meet your needs.


We look forward to hearing from you!  Please visit our website for more information, pricing and examples.
