In high-traffic facilities like hospitals, schools, and long-term care centers, signage has to do more than look good—it has to stand up to years of wear, cleaning, and safety demands. That’s where Encapsulated ADA signage from Architectural Identification truly shines.

What Is Encapsulated ADA Signage?

Encapsulated signage is an ADA-compliant system where the tactile copy, Braille, and digital graphics are sealed within a durable thermoplastic vinyl film. This one-piece construction protects the entire surface, locking out moisture and damage while maintaining a professional, seamless look.

Because the lettering and Braille are formed as part of the surface—not applied on top—they can’t be removed, scratched, or picked off, making encapsulated signs ideal for behavioral health environments, schools, and public facilities where durability is essential.

Durable and Tamper-Resistant

Every Encapsulated ADA sign is built to last. Its tamper-resistant design eliminates loose layers, fragile paint, and peeling edges that often appear in traditional signage over time. The encapsulated surface stays smooth and legible for years, even in the busiest hallways and patient corridors.

This unmatched durability means fewer replacements, less maintenance, and lower long-term costs for your facility.

Easy to Clean and Sanitize

Cleanability is more important than ever. Encapsulated signage’s smooth, sealed surface allows for quick sanitizing using powerful disinfectants—without causing damage or fading. Whether you’re maintaining infection-control standards in a hospital or general cleanliness in a school, these signs help ensure compliance and longevity with minimal effort.

Class “A” Fire-Rated for Safety

Safety shouldn’t be optional—it should be built in. Encapsulated ADA signs can be manufactured with a Class “A” Fire Rating, meeting stringent building safety codes and giving facility managers peace of mind. This makes them an excellent choice for healthcare environments, public institutions, and any space where fire-resistance is required by regulation or design standard.

Endless Design Possibilities

While performance matters, design does too. Encapsulated signage offers virtually unlimited design flexibility—choose from a wide range of colors, finishes, and graphics to match your facility’s interior aesthetic. With printed digital graphics sealed beneath the protective layer, you can achieve clean branding, clear wayfinding, and consistent visual identity throughout your environment.
