by Rebecca Walker — March 28, 2011—ASI Sign Systems has announced the release of Macer Interior, a slim-panel interior signage solution. This new system consists of three components, says the company: a uniquely-designed panel holder, aluminum or etronite graphic panels, and a discreet top fitting that is used for large panels or signs that require paper inserts.
The design goal and construction of Macer Interior was to have a panel holder that performs as a hinge, with a sleek look and no gaps between the two pieces. In addition, it needed to have a clean finish with a clean edge cut to allow for various sizes to accommodate the range of panel sizes.
Finally, the panel holder needed to meet the overall aesthetic goal of having slight curvature and defined edges. The panel holder is available in aluminum, and an injection molded plastic option will be available in summer of 2011.
Another important aspect of Macer Interior resides within the panel. The panel uses the latest in printing technology to allow for the full printing of photorealistic digital graphics, notes the company. This allows for extremely high-end graphics, textures and other subtle finishes to create distinctive signage solutions.
Macer Exterior was launched in 2010 and utilizes the same design concept; in addition the system must withstand exterior conditions such as wind loads, fading and inclement weather. This system, when combined with Macer Interior creates a cohesive wayfinding and identity solution for almost any facility, says the company.
ASI provides consultative services for comprehensive wayfinding and identity solutions to companies throughout the U.S. and the world. Headquartered in Texas, the company is represented in more than 40 U.S. cities with global partners in 35 countries. For more information, see the Web site.
