Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best type of advertising signage for shops?

For retail shops, 3D illuminated letters and acrylic signs with LED lighting are the best choice thanks to their visibility, elegance and long lifespan. For short-term campaigns, cost-effective flex signage is the way to go.

What's the difference between an acrylic sign and a flex banner?

Acrylic is a rigid, glossy, premium material that lasts for years and works beautifully with backlighting, while flex is a flexible, more affordable material ideal for banners, short-term campaigns and large-format areas.

Are illuminated letters suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Our raised illuminated letters are built for exterior facades and stand up to Qatar's weather conditions, while LED lighting keeps your sign clearly visible at night.
