Signs
What we make
Aluminum signs
Printed metal signs for outdoor spots: parking, gates, fences, entrances and posts. Ask for rounded corners and mounting holes.
ACM signs
Two thin aluminum sheets around a plastic core. Stiffer and flatter than plain aluminum, so it suits bigger wall and building signs.
PVC signs
Light, rigid plastic board that's easy to hang. Good for indoor wall signs, menu boards and office signs.
Acrylic signs
Clear or white acrylic with a glossy, finished look. Lobby logo signs, reception walls and office doors. Ask about standoffs.
Parking and property signs
Reserved parking, visitor parking, no trespassing and private property signs. My safety and parking signs page has more.
Office and door signs
Suite numbers, hours, room names and hallway arrows so visitors find the right door.

Aluminum, ACM, PVC or acrylic: which one fits
Aluminum is the workhorse. It goes outside, takes rain and snow, and holds its shape where plastic can bend or curl. A 12 x 18 aluminum sign, 3mm and printed full color, starts at $35. That covers most parking, gate and entrance signs.
ACM is aluminum with a plastic core. It stays flat at bigger sizes, so it's the one for a sign on the side of a building or a large panel by the door.
PVC and acrylic are mostly for inside. PVC is light and plain, fine for room signs and wall signs. Acrylic looks finished and a little upscale, which is why it shows up behind reception desks. Tell me where the sign goes and I'll point you to one.
Where an aluminum sign beats a yard sign
Coroplast yard signs are great for a job that ends: a roof, a listing, an event. They're cheap and light, and nobody minds tossing one after a season.
A sign that stays put is different. The reserved spot by your front door, the gate to the yard, the dumpster enclosure, the visitor lot. Those signs sit out in Central Ohio weather year round. Aluminum holds its shape and stays readable where plastic would sag or fade first.
If you're replacing a faded or bent sign, send me a photo and the size. I'll match it or clean up the layout so it reads better than the old one.
Get the size and the mounting right
Measure the spot before you order. A sign for a post needs holes in the right place. A sign for a brick wall or a fence needs a different setup than one for a door. Tell me how it mounts and I'll set up the file to match.
Keep the words short. A parking sign needs a few big words. Office and lobby signs can carry a logo and a little more, since people read them up close.
Send your logo and what the sign needs to say. I'll lay it out, and you approve the proof before it prints.

Questions
Aluminum and rigid signs: common questions
How much does an aluminum sign cost?
A 12 x 18 aluminum sign, 3mm and printed full color, starts at $35. Bigger sizes, ACM and acrylic cost more. I'll quote your exact size within 24 hours.
Should I get aluminum or a coroplast sign?
Coroplast for a sign that comes down after a job, a listing or an event. Aluminum for a sign that stays up, like parking, gates and entrances.
Can aluminum signs go outside?
Yes. Aluminum is made for outdoor use and handles Ohio rain and snow. Full sun fades any printed sign over time.
What is ACM?
Aluminum composite material: two thin sheets of aluminum with a plastic core in between. It stays flatter than plain aluminum at bigger sizes, so it's common for building and wall signs.
Can you make a lobby sign with our logo?
Yes. Acrylic or PVC with your logo, sized for the wall behind the front desk. Send the logo file and a photo of the wall, and I'll mock it up.
Do I see the sign before it prints?
Yes. You get a proof to approve first. Nothing prints until you say it's right.
