Electromark	Competition	Comments
Fiberglass Signs
Deep Embeddment	Yes	Shallow	Electromark's graphics are deeply embedded in the middle of the sign construction. Competitor signs have graphics close to the top; this means that there is less protection for the graphics.
Routed Edge	Yes	Rough, sheared edge	Electromark signs have a routed, polished edge. Competition shear cuts the edge and this leaves a dirty and often dangerous surface exposed.
Resin Quality	State-of-the-art	?	Electromark has performed extensive research performed into the latest break-throughs in acrylic modified resins. Numerous patents applied for. Competior resins are softer (to allow cheaper sign cutting) and often undercured. Electromark signs have a true white background.
