Signs of Green at 7-Eleven

Florida company to provide LED signage

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Quality Sign Co., a national sign engineering and manufacturing company, will create signage for all of 7-Eleven Inc.'s new stores across the country. Quality Sign Co. will provide exterior double-faced pylon signs and wall signage, all lit exclusively with LED technology.

Use of LED lights will provide 7-Eleven stores with significant reductions in carbon footprint, estimated energy savings between 60% and 80%, an average one-year return on investment and minimized service requirements over the life of their signs.

Quality Sign Co., based [image-nocss] in Jacksonville, Fla., is one of the only sign manufacturers in the country currently creating double-faced, LED illuminated pylon signs using new lighting technology from GE. The company also is one of a select few to offer LED technology in all of its products.

Quality Sign Co. is a major advocate for green initiatives as environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives. In addition to the environmentally friendly LED lights used in the 7-Eleven signage, the signs will feature eco-friendly, low volatile organic compound (VOC) paint, with the safest VOC levels available.

"This new phase in our relationship with 7-Eleven is a reflection of our continued dedication to bringing our customers cutting-edge technology and cost-efficient solutions."

In addition to using green alternatives and practicing responsible disposal techniques, Quality Sign Co. employs lean manufacturing practices. Through lean manufacturing, which includes one-piece flow manufacturing and meticulously organized workspaces, Quality Sign Co. has increased capacity, reduced delivery time by more than one-third and improved environmental efficiency through waste reduction.
