FAQ

  • What is the difference between a wall mounted sign and a projecting sign?
    A wall mounted sign lies flat against the wall, ideal for door plaques or directional arrows. A projecting sign extends perpendicularly from the wall, making it visible from both ends of a hallway. Orlanto Sign customizes both types with your branding and wayfinding needs.
  • Which type of sign is best for hospital wayfinding?
    Hospitals benefit from a mix: ADA signs for patient rooms, hanging signs for main corridors, and projecting signs at intersections. Directory signs at elevators also reduce confusion. Orlanto Sign provides complete healthcare signage solutions with anti-bacterial surfaces and easy panel swaps.
  • Do I need a pylon sign or a freestanding sign for my business entrance?
    If you need high visibility from a distance (e.g., roadside), a pylon sign is best. Freestanding signs work well near walkways or landscaping. Orlanto Sign’s team can analyze your property to recommend the right outdoor solution.
  • Are Orlanto Sign’s ADA signs guaranteed compliant?
    Absolutely. All ADA signs from Orlanto Sign comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (2010 standards), including grade 2 braille, correct character height, and non-glare finish. We provide certification documentation for your inspectors.
  • Can I update information on directory signs without replacing them?
    Yes. Orlanto Sign manufactures modular directory signs with snap-in panel inserts. You can change tenant names, floor numbers, or maps in seconds — no tools or contractors required, saving long-term costs.
  • How long does it take to produce custom wayfinding signs?
    Standard lead time for Orlanto Sign is 7–12 business days after artwork approval. Rush options are available for urgent projects. We ship worldwide with tracking.
