How 3M™ VHB™ Tape has helped Atlantic Canada’s Hansen Signs Shine on for Over 37-Years

For a company that has worked hard to earn the reputation and trust of their customers for more than 37 years, product quality and durability is paramount.

Hansen Signs is a company based in Moncton, New Brunswick that designs, manufacturers, installs and maintains a number of different types of signage for customers across Atlantic Canada. When it comes to providing a quality product and service, this family-owned business relies on 3M™VHB™Tape.

“Sometimes rivets can create a rippling effect in materials in different types of weather conditions,” says Nick Hansen, owner, Hansen Signs. So in order to create a more consistent aesthetic, Hansens Signs employs 3M™ VHB™ Tape as a solution.

3M™ VHB™ Tape is a high strength, double-sided acrylic adhesive tape. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) creates an instant bond without any drying time required. Heat, cold, humidity, rain, and – of course – snow storms: the Canadian climate can be harsh and unpredictable. 3M™ VHB™ Tape offers mechanical and chemical properties that can help endure what Mother Nature throws at your business.
