Decision Tree — Sign Shop Focus
1️⃣ Is the sign load-bearing or structural?
(Large panels, exterior signage, vibration/wind load)
- YES → 3M VHB™ (4910 / 4941 / 5952), PE Foam tape
- NO → Continue
2️⃣ Is this a flat graphic or nameplate?
(Logos, labels, overlays)
- Smooth surface → 467MP
- Brushed / powder-coated → 468MP
3️⃣ Outdoor exposure?
(Sun, rain, temperature swings)
- YES → Prefer 468MP or VHB
- NO → 467MP acceptable
Sign Shop Quick Picks
Application | Tape |
Metal logos on smooth panels | 467MP |
Logos on textured ACM | 468MP |
Acrylic letters (non-structural) | 468MP |
Exterior panel mounting | VHB |
Interior panel mounting | PE Foam |
💡 Shop Tip:
468MP reduces edge lift on powder-coated sign panels—one of the most common failure points.
