When a user walks into a retail outlet, be it of a food brand like Pizza Hut, or that of an electronics shop, they do so with an intent to buy. Our job is to then convert that intent into a cash value transaction. One way to do this is to help them make up their mind the moment they set foot at our entrance. And using a ‘Backlit Gate Arch’ is an excellent way to do this.
Our printed gate arches are ideal for retail stores and will greet your customers with eye-catching visuals of your products and offers. And your marketing efforts will begin to bear fruit even before your customers step into your store.
Imagine a well designed backlit gate arch that creates an immersive experience. It makes your customers feel great, already. That aligns with the reason why throughout history, kings and monarchs have commissioned imposing and awe-inspiring entrances.
For example, The Gateway of India, The Arc Du Triomphe in Paris, etc, are all awe-inspiring arches that draw people’s attention. A grand entranceway impresses people. No question about this.
And that’s exactly what a backlit gate arch, commonly referred to as a glow sign gate, will do for your business.
Promotional gate arches have a number of uses. They are primarily commissioned by shopkeepers and retail stores trading in consumer durables. But they are also extensively deployed by restaurants, banks, builders at construction sites, and even Ganpati Mandals during Ganesh Chaturthi. Here are is a list of some of the main functions a printed gate arch performs –
But if you have a store on a high street seeing a lot of customer footfall, a strategically placed printed entrance arch will work wonders for your promotional efforts.
For example, a person stepping into a consumer electronics store already knows that fridges are available here. But a prominent gate arch at the entrance can be used to inform them about the availability of a new brand of refrigerator, or perhaps the launch of an exchange offer on the same. This communication helps reinforce buyer behavior in the direction desired by the store owner.
A metal gate arch (or just metal arch) is popularly known as a ‘kaman’ or ‘kamaan’ in Marathi. Here is a list of its principal components –
The metal frame is generally made of 16 gauge, 0.75 inches thick, metal pipes, welded together. The whole structure is wrapped in printed flex material. Digitally printed flex is nothing but a loose, slightly stretchable banner. This banner is imprinted with your artwork, product images, and marketing messages.
Dimensions of Gate Arches: These vary from site to site, as required. While different clients have different size specifications, a lot of them do ask us for our suggestions on the same. So here is what we recommend.
A gate arch is not a product that we can hand over to our clients across the counter. This heavy metal structure needs to be first fabricated at our end. We then have to transport and install the same at your location. So if you need to create a gate arch in front of your store, we follow the procedure listed below.
One variant to the 3D arch described above is an arch without any depth. This is an economical alternative that is fabricated in two dimensions. Instead of a 3D structure, we use flat metal frames and stretch out printed flex on it, much as we do for a non-lit shop board frame.
Also, since there is no place to conceal lights, this 2D arch will be front-lit where the sun acts as a source of your light. While a 2D gate arch is significantly cheaper than its 3D backlit counterpart, not many people opt for it.
You can order a backlit gate arch in the following two variants:
1. We can fabricate a 2-feet deep frame with a print wrapped around the same. Tube lights are placed inside the frame to light the print within.
2. We can also build a more economical non-lit, 2D arch for you.
Here are the sizes most clients opt for:
A. 8 feet high pillars on two sides with an 8 feet wide arch on top. The pillars on the sides will have a width of 2 feet and the arch on top will have a height of 2 feet.
B. 8 feet high pillars on two sides with an 10 feet wide arch on top. The pillars on the sides will have a width of 2 feet and the arch on top will have a height of 2 feet.
C. 10 feet high pillars on two sides with an 12 feet wide arch on top. The pillars on the sides will have a width of 2 feet and the arch on top will have a height of 2 feet.
Do mail us your dimensions / design files. We’ll quote for the same.
For a backlit gate arch the depth is 2 feet. We place our light source (tubelights) in this 2 feet deep frame.
You can also opt for a 2D arch without any depth. Here, the prints will simply be stretched on a metal frame.
We prefer to have a flat even surface to place the arch on. If the road is uneven, balancing the arch becomes difficult. Do share a site pic when you place your order.
Yes the prints on the arch can be changed at a latter date. The frame within remains the same.
Regular prints look good during the day. But when you place a light source behind them, they tend to look faded or ‘pheeka’. To resolve this issue, we recommend using the double strike printing method for backlit prints.
This involves overprinting the same image twice. Two layers of ink are layered on top of each other to ensure that the double strike print looks extremely vibrant when lit up from behind.
This process also increases the cost of production. But the end result is worth it.
We can work with a variety of file formats. Do share your job as a .jpg, .pdf, .png, Corel Draw for EPS file.
Also, do make sure that the file has a sufficiently high resolution. While our machines have the capability to reproduce images of stunning quality, a high input resolution of your file will make a difference.
