Design Guidelines

All guidelines are based on a 3 in. (76mm) deep 

sign for Tetra

®

 Slim EdgeStrip. When installing the 

modules, it is typically recommended to install the 

modules across the longest distance to allow for the 

shortest light throw. 

A 2 in. (51 mm) border is 

recommended along the 

perimeter of the sign.
