POLYVANTIS Showcases Groundbreaking Signage Innovations at ISA 2025
At the 2025 International Sign Association (ISA) Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, POLYVANTIS made a bold and lasting impression on attendees with its expansive suite of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polycarbonate (PC) sheet and film products. Demonstrating its commitment to innovation and excellence, the company unveiled a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance, aesthetically versatile materials under two of its hallmark brands: ACRYLITE® and LEXAN™. These trusted names continue to drive the signage market forward with their durability, design flexibility, and print-friendly characteristics.
“With the combined strengths of the LEXAN™ and ACRYLITE® brands, we’re delivering more versatile, efficient solutions that help our customers stand out in a competitive market,” said Al Favero, Senior Director, Commercial Americas at POLYVANTIS. “These high-performance materials push the boundaries of design while ensuring exceptional durability and reliability in signage.”
Driving the Digital Print Revolution
One of the key highlights at the POLYVANTIS booth this year was its innovation in digital print technology. The company introduced the ACRYLITE® Digital Print Pop Touch acrylic sheet and the enhanced LEXAN™ Digital Print PC films—two products engineered to elevate the standards in wide-format digital printing for signage.
The ACRYLITE® Digital Print Pop Touch sheet is tailored for printers equipped to render 3D surfaces and create tactile signage, including Braille. Offering superior ink adhesion and eliminating the need for secondary surface treatment, Pop Touch increases production efficiency and broadens application potential. Its features include:
- Compatibility with first and second surface printing
- ADA-compliant textured surface for tactile signage
- Crystal-clear base for unrestricted color application and opacity control
- Wide-format printer compatibility for seamless integration
Meanwhile, LEXAN™ Digital Print PC films have been upgraded with a proprietary UV ink-adhesive coating, ensuring secure ink bonding and compatibility with a variety of base films, including flame-retardant and hard-coat versions. These films not only reduce delamination risks but also shorten processing time, translating to significant cost savings and higher profitability.
Expanding the Signage Toolbox: A Portfolio for Every Application
Beyond digital printing, POLYVANTIS displayed its versatile and sustainable signage materials across several product lines:
- ACRYLITE® LED Portfolio: This series features specialized acrylic sheets designed for backlit signage, edge-lit applications, and high-contrast letter block signs. The materials offer brilliant lighting effects with excellent clarity and strength.
- ACRYLITE® proTerra: With sustainability in mind, proTerra is manufactured using up to 95% post-industrial recycled acrylic, allowing signage manufacturers to meet environmental goals without compromising performance.
- ACRYLITE® Satinice: Optimized for light diffusion, Satinice offers evenly distributed lighting without hotspots. The material maintains its texture during thermoforming, making it ideal for shaped and contoured signage.
- LEXAN™ DLCW (Diffuse Light Cool White) Films: Designed to fine-tune light transmission and diffusion, these films are excellent for backlit signs requiring uniform illumination.
- LEXAN™ Sign Sheet Portfolio: Combining strength and optical clarity, this line provides long-term durability for outdoor and high-impact signage applications.
- LEXAN™ Digital Print Films: Offering enhanced ink adhesion, these films facilitate quicker production and long-term reliability in digital printing.
All these products form part of the POLYVANTIS commitment to comprehensive signage solutions that deliver both form and function, meeting the high demands of modern branding and communication in retail, transportation, public safety, and beyond.
A Sustainable, Forward-Looking Approach
Sustainability continues to be a cornerstone of POLYVANTIS’ approach to innovation. The introduction of ACRYLITE® proTerra is a prime example of how the company is incorporating environmentally responsible practices into its manufacturing processes. Using post-industrial recycled materials helps reduce environmental impact while giving signage makers a path toward greener production.
Moreover, the company’s advancements in digital print substrates, such as LEXAN™ films, contribute to sustainable practices by reducing waste, minimizing production steps, and lowering energy consumption in the printing process.
Collaboration and Customization
A standout feature of POLYVANTIS’ product strategy is the ability to tailor materials to the unique needs of clients. Whether it’s enhancing surface finishes, adjusting material thickness, or delivering custom colors, the company prides itself on working closely with customers to deliver optimal solutions for every application.
This spirit of collaboration extends beyond product development. At ISA 2025, POLYVANTIS hosted several live demonstrations and interactive sessions to educate and engage the signage community. Attendees were given the opportunity to see firsthand how ACRYLITE® and LEXAN™ products perform under different lighting conditions, printing scenarios, and thermoforming processes.
