Speaking of traffic signs, everyone can see them on the road every day, stop signs with red background and white letters, signboards with white letters on a blue background, warning signs with black letters on a yellow background... These seemingly simple signs are actually rich in knowledge, especially in Jiangsu, as a manufacturer In an area where the industry and transportation network are particularly developed, the traffic sign manufacturers here are really not just able to do it casually. I will talk to everyone about what hard power and soft skills a reliable Jiangsu traffic sign manufacturer must have.
The most basic one is “Compliance” , this is not an empty talk. Traffic signs are products related to public safety. The country has mandatory standards (GB series standards), which have extremely detailed regulations on materials, reflective properties, colors, sizes, fonts and even installation hole positions. When car lights shine at night, the signs must be clearly visible, right? This involves the choice of reflective film. Regular manufacturers use reflective films that meet national standards, such as engineering grade, high-strength grade, and diamond grade. Different grades are suitable for different road environments, and their lifespan and price are also quite different. In order to reduce costs, some small workshops use inferior films or substandard aluminum plates. At first, I saw It looks fine, but it fades, peels, and the reflective effect drops sharply after being exposed to wind, sun, and rain for a few months. This is a potential safety hazard. When looking for a manufacturer in Jiangsu, the first thing to do is to check the qualifications and see if they can produce authoritative test reports and whether they are producing strictly in accordance with national standards or even higher corporate standards.
Compliance alone is not enough; “Stable quality” This is the real skill. The industrial chain in Jiangsu is complete. From the raw material supply of aluminum plates and reflective films to sheet metal processing, screen printing, film sticking, spray painting, assembly and other production links, efficient collaboration can be formed within the province. For a strong factory, the production line should be standardized, such as blanking and cutting. Is the accuracy enough? Are there any burrs on the corners? How flat is the bottom plate? Another example is printing or laminating. Are the colors uniform and full, are the edges neat, and are there any bubbles or impurities? These details directly determine the appearance and durability of the finished signage. I have visited some well-made factories. Although the workshop is busy, the materials are placed in an orderly manner, the process flow is clear, and the workers are skilled in operation. The quality of the products produced in this environment is naturally guaranteed. On the contrary, if the workshop is messy and the production process is random, then the stability of the product quality has to be questioned.
In addition to these "hard" requirements, the requirements for traffic signage are becoming more and more "soft", or more and more “"Smart" and "Human"” , at some complex intersections, larger and combined guide signs may be needed. The amount of information is large, and the design and layout must be particularly clear to avoid difficulties in instant recognition by drivers. For example, some tourist areas or urban landscape roads may have certain aesthetic requirements for the shape and color matching of signs on the premise of meeting the functions, which requires manufacturers to have A certain design coordination ability, and the more cutting-edge ones are signs that are combined with smart transportation, such as variable information signs (LED screens), signs with sensing functions, etc. Although this is not the business scope of all sign manufacturers, manufacturers that have access to this part of the business usually have stronger technology research and development and integration capabilities, which represents a grasp of industry trends.
As an organization that needs to purchase or customize traffic signs, how should you choose a manufacturer in Jiangsu? I think we can walk in several steps:
Read cases and ask for word of mouth : Take a look at what projects this manufacturer has done, especially cases similar to your needs. It is best to ask the units that have cooperated before to understand the timeliness of supply, product quality, and response speed to problems. Real project experience is more effective than any publicity.
Pay attention to details and ask about craftsmanship : Don't be afraid to ask detailed questions. How thick is the aluminum plate you use? Which manufacturer's membrane? How to control color difference? How long is the warranty period? Are the installation accessories complete? ”From the other person's answer, you can feel whether they are really knowledgeable or just perfunctory.
Compared with service, see the response : Traffic signs are often part of engineering projects. The construction period is tight and the demand may change. The cooperation of the manufacturer is very important. From the early stage communication of plans and drawing confirmation, to the progress feedback during production, to the later shipment, possible replenishment or after-sales service, it is critical whether the service chain is smooth. Manufacturers with quick response and smooth communication can save a lot of worry.
Look at prices rationally : Price is of course important, but it cannot be the only criterion. On the premise of complying with national standards, compare prices. If a certain company's quotation is significantly lower than the market average, then you must pay more attention and carefully examine whether the materials and processes used have shrunk. After all, signs will be used for many years, and safety is no small matter.
The overall level of the traffic sign production industry in Jiangsu is very high and the competition is fierce. This is a good thing for our users. It means there are more choices and it also encourages manufacturers to continuously improve. Finding a reliable factory is like finding a long-term and reliable partner. They do They are not just a piece of sign, but also a part of our road safety construction. Next time you see those traffic signs standing silently on the roadside, guiding the direction, you may be able to think that from a piece of raw material to a finished product, it has gone through so many levels and details.
Pay more attention when choosing, and you will have more peace of mind on the road. This is the value of traffic sign production.
