Let us quote on your 2/90 Sign System.

3 Basic Components 

RAILS

Material: Black extruded aluminum

Size: The original size of the structural rail was 2" high by 90" wide, hence our name 2/90. Rails are available 2", 3", 4" or 6" in height, and up to 90" in width.

Profile: Specify Thin, Standard, or Box Rail

How to Specify 2/90 Modular.

2/90 MODULAR IS AN OFF-THE-SHELF SIGN SYSTEM YOU CAN EASILY SPECIFY TO MAKE ONE-OF-A-KIND DESIGNS.

SPECIFY MODULAR IN 6 EASY STEPS: 

ONE: Determine profile: Thin, Standard or Box Rail

TWO: Select sign size and insert configuration

THREE: Choose an end cap design from seven styles of painted or satin aluminum finish

FOUR: Pick an insert finish from 100 standard materials: painted, laminate, paper or create your own

FIVE: Indicate your choice of graphics including ADA-compliant options and state-of-the-art Direct Print

SIX: Choose from over 16 mounting options for wall, cubical and ceiling installations

OPTIONAL: Dress up your sign with accessories

Three Styles Available.

2/90 MODULAR IS AVAILABLE IN THREE PROFILES:

MODULAR THIN, A POPULAR CHOICE FOR IDENTIFICATION AND REGULATORY SIGNS

MODULAR STANDARD, A GREAT OPTION FOR LARGER DIRECTORIES AND TWO-SIDED CEILING MOUNTED SIGNS

MODULAR BOX RAIL, FOR EXTRA-LARGE SIGNS

STRUCTURAL STYLES

With these three structural elements, you can configure virtually any modular sign for unlimited creative flexibility. Because rail faces are identical, any insert can be used. End caps, accent strips, frames, top and bottom trims and insert options allow for infinite creative flexibility within a system that is elegantly simple.

• 9/32" thickness
• Recommended maximum insert is 400 square inches

Color and form can say as much as words and graphics. 2/90 offers a broad range of aesthetic options that help you create an impression even as you're delivering information and helping people navigate your building. Sixteen standard mounting options empower you to seamlessly integrate signs into any architectural environment. Tamper-resistant features ensure that your design vision will withstand the rigors of time.

Insert Dimensions and Configurations.

HOW TO READ PART NUMBERS FOR 2/90 MODULAR SIGNS:

Number Portion = Insert area; height by width 

Letter Portion = Insert configuration

For example, a 2x6B sign has a total insert area of 2" high by 6" wide, with the letter B designating two- 1"x 6" inserts. Overall sign dimensions including end caps, mount, and accessories, vary depending on options selected. Contact Client Services for exact dimensions.

Copy Choices.

CREATE ONE-OF-A-KIND GRAPHICS BY SELECTING YOUR APPLICATION METHOD, FONT, COPY SIZE, POSITION AND CASE. 

COPY OPTIONS

Choose from over nine copy options including our newest and most popular, Direct Print. For ADA compliancy, we offer three ADA copy options to fit a variety of insert materials and needs.

ADA Graphics 

ADA - Integral Acrylic photopolymer is adhered to a phenolic insert base to make a one-piece sign with sharp images and precise details. Insert is painted to match our standard Prism and Metallic colors and can also be color-matched.

ADA - Applied Applied graphics use standard inserts to provide color and texture consistent with other non-ADA facility signage. This is the standard ADA copy option for laminates and custom materials.

ADA - Subsurface Subsurface graphics are sealed with a laminate, producing raised images with rounded edges for a “soft touch” look and feel. Insert color is also subsurface.

Non-ADA Graphics

Direct Print

Our most popular copy application is direct print. VOC-free, ultra-violet cured inks are digitally printed directly to insert material. Recommended for photo-quality graphics.

Vinyl

Surface-applied vinyl is our traditional copy option, offering you the flexibility to remove obsolete messages and reuse copy inserts. Available in select gloss colors and all standard or custom matte colors.

Laser Print

Paper-printed graphics are protected by a clear lens. Customer may order inserts pre-printed by 2/90, or print their own. Die-cut perforated paper is available in five standard colors. Custom paper may also be used.

Subsurface

Reverse-cut vinyl is applied to the back of polycarbonate. Insert is back sprayed with paint, placed in an aluminum extruded carrier, and secured with high-performance adhesive.

Silkscreen

A photo image is applied to a screen placed on the sign surface material, and ink is spread onto the screen. When the screen is lifted, a printed image remains. Silkscreen is recommended for metallic colors.

Engraved

Engraved copy is available in a limited selection of colors. ABS inserts are painted any standard or custom color, and the engraved copy letters show up in the original color of the insert.

COPY STYLE

Choose from a large selection of visual and decorative fonts along with several ADA-compliant fonts. If you don't see your favorite, contact Client Services for more options.

COPY SIZE

2/90 recommends choosing a copy size no more than half the height of the insert to accommodate letters that drop below the baseline. Copy size is also determined by the message and insert length. Use our copy capacity chart for reference.

COPY POSITION

Copy can be aligned with left margin, center or right margin of the insert. Vertically, the standard application is centered, but upper or lower position can be specified. 

COPY CASE

Upper and Lower (U/L) case is standard. All Caps (AC) or All Lower (AL) case is available, or specify As Typed (AT) in the message schedule. ADA-compliant copy is All Caps.

Dress Me Up!

2/90 IS ALL ABOUT OPTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A NEED, LET US KNOW AND IT MAY EVEN BECOME A STANDARD.

Trim Options

Add contrast to your design with Top/Bottom Trim and Accent Strips. Available painted and Satin Natural Aluminum finish.

Sliding Insert

Does your sign need the flexibility to display multiple messages? Sliding inserts reveal or conceal messages when needed. Typically used to indicate availability in conference or meeting rooms, any sign with an insert ranging from 1" to 4" high can be used as a sliding insert.

SmartStrip™

SmartStrips™ hold messages securely, providing a flexible solution for temporary room identification, notifications, or an in-box. To remove the message, simply lift it up and slide to side.

SmartStrips™ are available as an integral part of the sign or sold separately. When purchased separately, they can be installed next to a sign or used alone to hold messages or postings. SmartStrip™ accepts laminated messages.

Available in Satin Natural Aluminum finish with black caps.

Pen Holder

Signs with dry erase material can benefit from adding a Pen Holder to house the elusive dry erase marker.

Pen holder is mill finished aluminum, painted black. Other colors are available.

Notched-End Cap

For window inserts with paper that need to change often, we recommend the notched-end cap. The paper and protective lens slide off easily without removing the end cap. This feature is available with Slimline end cap style in satin natural aluminum finish or painted colors.
