Literature Displays -
A Simple Design That
Saves Time And Space
Literature is a key tool of business.
Literature displays
can help to send that information clearly.
We are all familiar with business tools such as memos, financial reports, bulletins, announcements, and other important information. Signs are essential for posting information where it can be easily found and read.
Some of these devices, like cork boards or glass display cases, perform their function with limitations. Papers will move with every breeze and may be difficult to change regularly, and memos become a cluttered mess. The result becomes literature that nobody wants to read.
That doesn't seem right, does it? How can these problems be solved and important information given to those who need it? The best, most efficient, most organized way to display literature is by using an acrylic slenderline literature display.
What Do You Look For In A Sign?
Frames of wood, plastic, glass display cases, kits with thin plastic parts, or other bulky displays can be clumsy and unattractive. Slenderline acrylic signs have a simple, well-crafted design that is both affordable and practical.
Compared to other types of office literature displays, slenderline signs give you many more advantages. Slenderline signs give you -
- A thin design that saves lots of space, especially in cubicles where space is valuable
- Easy to place and hang each sign where it won't get in the way or be damaged
- Quick change of inserts allow you to change messages in seconds
- Business-oriented color schemes match almost any office decor
- Non-glare frame lens to deflect light and make your display easier to read
- Sturdy simple construction means displays will last a long time
Slender Design Keeps A Low Profile
At a thickness of 1/4" inch, slenderlines are designed to be low profile. If you work in a cubicle or other small area, you know how valuable space can be. The last thing you need is something else to knock over.
But slenderline frames, mounted to a flat wall surface, won't get in the way. Important documents are clearly visible, and don't cost you extra "cubicle real estate".
Slenderline signs are perfect for busy hallways. When properly mounted, slenderline frames won't be knocked off of the wall surface by hallway traffic. Papers pinned to bulletin boards don't survive for very long in that environment. A slenderline frame keeps the notices clean and safe.
Simple Construction Makes It More Efficient
Slenderline signs are constructed from flat panels of sturdy acrylic. A 1/16" thick clear lens is bonded to a 1/8" thick back-plate. The outer side of the lens has a very fine frost in the surface, making the lens non-glare. The inserted memo is not obscured by the non-glare, but is instead easy to read.
Objects like windows clearly reflected in glass instead appear as a faded light spot. Bright light doesn't reflect direct light as much as glass does. You can see more of what the frame is holding.
Even under the direct lighting in the average office, all information can still be seen and read. I've seen all kinds of slenderline signs, and the clarity of a non-glare lens always provides an advantage.
The acrylic plates are bonded with a strong adhesive tape that leaves a gap between the panels. Inserts, such as memos, charts, or photographs are slipped into a slot on one side. This advanced design allows for a sign as thin and out-of-the-way as possible.
The entire display device totals approximately 1/4" thick! These signs are so unobtrusive that they are practically a part of the wall itself.
The Quick Change Insert - Instant Gratification
How often have you tried to change a bulletin out of a plastic and glass photo frame? You have to bend staples back and remove the entire sign and contents carefully without dropping the glass front. There's nothing worse than breaking glass in your cubicle just as you're leaving for a meeting. Not only is it inconvenient, but also unsafe.
A Slenderline literature display can be changed without removing the sign from the wall, or even touching it at all! A thin plastic tool is inserted in the small slot on the opposite side of the slot used to insert the memo. A slight nudge slides the insert out of the insert slot where it can be grasped and slipped the rest of the way out. A new memo is positioned at the large slot and gently slid into it.
The literature is changed; it's just that simple. If you work in a large office building and you need to change out lots of posted memos, you can appreciate the slenderline frame. Several memos can be changed out in moments.
Easy to use and reuse, the Slenderline sign is a time saver and a space saver.
Choosing Styles And Colors
Generally, Slenderline displays come in two basic styles: A rectangle of a specific size with square corners, or a rectangular sign with radius (rounded) corners.
Back-painting the outer non-glare with a border forms a frame for the literature to show through. The edges are "framed" by the border showing the information with a neat and professional appearance.
A variety of colors are available to suit the decor where you will display the signs. The color range has been tested and chosen as the most clearly visible and most popular colors used for literature display in modern business. Whatever type of office needs literature display, hospitals, retail businesses, office buildings of any size, you will find a style and color to suit your needs.
Anyone Can Use Literature Displays
Many types of businesses and establishments use low profile literature displays. Healthcare, institutional, educational and corporate facilities all benefit from the Slenderline style signs. At Acrylic Sign World, we receive orders for them from these types of establishments every day, nationwide. And each customer uses their signs for informational, facility identification, educational, and wayfinding applications.
No matter what type of business you have, these interior rated signs can be utilized anywhere indoors for a wide variety of uses.
At The Office, Mount The Frame And Put It to Work
There are several ways to mount the Slenderline literature display. Foam adhesive mounting squares will hold the sign perfectly on any flat wall surface for a complete low profile presence. Inserts can then be changed at will. This is a permanent mount, although the sign can be removed from the wall using solvent.
Velcro patches can also be used, and the entire sign can be removed from the wall if needed and replaced again.
But the beauty of a Slenderline style low profile sign is you only need to hang it once!
Great News For Cubicle Workers
If you work in a cubicle, you are surrounded thin walls covered with gray or blue cloth. Usually pins are used to hold papers to the wall of your cubicle and they flap around every time you stand up. I'm sure you've jabbed yourself on those sharp pointes before. I know I have. Why do they make such dangerous clips and letter holders for cubicles? We want to get our work done, not put bandages on our fingers.
You could use Velcro, put it doesn't stick very well for very long to the cubicle cloth. The matching cloth and plastic of the Velcro hold well, but they can be bulky.
So how can you have your sign be truly low profile in your cubicle? Scotch brand fabric cubicle grips are 1"x2" plastic adhesive strips similar to the Velcro plastic strip, only with a finer grip surface.
Simply peel and apply the strips to the back of the sign, anywhere from 2-8 depending on size, and place the sign on your cubicle wall. Those little strips grip and hold that sign flush to the cubicle wall even better than Velcro can. The ¼" Slenderline sign thickness plus those ultra thin fabric cubicle grip strips provide the lowest profile a sign can have!
Since the Slenderline signs are so thin, you are left with lots of room in your cube and a neat, easy-to-arrange and change set of memo displays. It's convenient, simple, and you never jab your fingers.
If you would like to order these grip strips with your Slenderline signs, the option to choose them is included on the order form. Just click the checkbox for that option and one affordable pack of 8 strips will be included with each sign you order. It's that easy!
It Really Is The All-Around Best Literature Display Available
Slenderline literature displays that also save time and space are probably the most practical sign investments you can make, especially if you need to change out lots of signs.
I like the way they look, too. Slenderline literature displays don't have mattes and backings that need to be pulled off and put back. My favorite part about them is how quickly and easily they can be changed. I can update reports anytime and print them out, slip the older report out of the frame, and insert the new one right away.
