INFRARED PATCHES   The infrared patches we sell are manufactured in our factory here in Mammoth Spring Arkansas. Every step of the process is done here at Anytime Sign, artwork, screen printing and die cutting.

We use the best quality materials and printing techniques:

3M Brand SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) is approved by the U.S. Coast Guard as a retroreflective material used to enhance visibility of life saving equipment in nighttime, or low light conditions.  3M brand SOLAS reflects brightly when viewed with night vision equipment providing crystal-clear friend or foe identification.

Solvent Based Inks.  All the inks we use on our patches are Solvent Based.   Solvent based inks are better than digitally printed or UV in because they adhere better and have a thicker ink deposit.  Solvent based inks will not fade, even if they are left outdoors for years.

Magic Black Infrared Ink.   Magic Black is made and developed by Anytime Sign.  We regulate the quality and thickness for ultimate opacity in the visible spectrum.  In the infrared spectrum Magic Black becomes transparent allowing for the 3M SOLAS to reflect light back to Night Vision equipment, providing crystal-clear friend or foe identification.

Matt Top Coat.   Patches come with a standard Matt top coat to cut down on possible glare in the visible spectrum.  The matt top coat is screen printed, not a lamination.  In addition to cutting down glare the matt top coat provides protection against scratching, and prolongs the life of your patches (which take a lot of abuse).

Custom Printing.    Since Anytime Sign is the manufacturer your possibilities are endless.   If you have a specific Unit patch that you are looking for, Anytime Sign can make it for you.   We  have over 500 DUI insignia on file.  The machine that we use to make our screens is able to hold very small detail so even small images can be printed.   CLICK HERE FOR CUSTOM PRINT PRICING 25 PC + on standard size patches or we can quote you a price for custom cut shapes and sizes, just email us with what you are looking for and we'll get back to you quickly.  sales@anytimesign.com

Why is Solvent Screen Printing better? Solvent Screen Printing is the absolute best printing process.  It has much thicker ink, much better opacity, much stronger bonding and much longer life, than other processes.

     Other processes, Digital printing, Flexography and UV ink screen printing may be cheaper and take less time, but faster and cheaper are not always best.  Other processes may look like quality signs and decals, but they will not last nearly as well outdoors.  Digitally printed, Flexography and UV ink screen printed signs and decals have an extremely thin coat of ink ( part of the printing processes) and will fade faster when in contact with the elements outdoors.
 

Let's face it when you have to replace your signs and decals every three years or less, saving pennies on inferior printing processes is just not worth it.  Get much more out of your signs and decals, go with Solvent Screen Printing; it is the longest lasting out door printing process available.
