Name Board Materials Compared: Which Should You Pick?
Whether it's for a shop, an office cabin or a home gate, name boards across Bangalore are generally made from one of four materials. Here's how they stack up.

Acrylic Name Boards
Lightweight, available in any colour, and easy to cut into custom shapes or fonts. A popular default choice for shops, clinics and cabins where budget and flexibility both matter.
ACP Name Boards
Aluminium composite panels offer excellent weather resistance at a lower cost than acrylic or metal — the standard choice for outdoor shop fascias and larger board areas where durability per rupee matters most.
Stainless Steel Name Boards
The premium option — brushed or mirror-finish steel letters that never fade or discolour. Common for corporate offices, law firms and any business wanting a permanent, high-end statement piece.
LED Illuminated Name Boards
Any of the above materials can be combined with LED backlighting for night-time visibility. This adds cost but is worth it for any name board that needs to be read after dark — shop fronts, gated community entrances, 24-hour businesses.
Quick Decision Guide
- Tight budget, outdoor use → ACP
- Want colour flexibility → Acrylic
- Want maximum durability and premium look → Stainless steel
- Need night-time visibility → Add LED backlighting to any of the above
