Metal Signs Metal signs are very durable and have a wide range of use. They come in several standard sizes or can be custom made to just about any size. Typically metal signs are made out of weather resistant aluminum and are painted. A typical use is for road signs many of which also use a reflective vinyl background for better visibility at night. Aluminum signs are rigid at smaller sizes, but if a larger size than 4' X 4' is needed then a metal frame may be needed to keep the metal sheet rigid. Vinyl lettering and shapes can readily be applied as well as digital pictures. For large quantities, screen printing can be utilized to reduce costs compared to custom vinyl applications. Standard aluminum sign sizes are 12" X 18" and 18" X 24" with .040" or .063" thick material and white painted background. Many shapes and other features are available such as rounded corners, mounting holes, etc. Other sizes can be easily made by special request. To specify and order your Metal Signs: Think about what you would like it to say on your sign and the size you want. Contact us by phone, fax or email to provide the information needed for customization of your sign. A fax with a sketch or picture is a very effective way to communicate ideas. Before construction of your sign is started, our professional graphic designers will be in contact with you using layouts by fax or email to verify the details of your custom sign. That way we can insure we are making just what you want. After we verify the details for sign with you, we will begin construction and then ship it to you. You will be contacted when your sign is shipped. We normally use Airborne Express for shipping. All major credit cards are accepted. |
