What is Custom Signage?
Don’t settle for less than truly custom signs. Let us collaborate with you to create the sign design that expresses your story and adds value to your business. Personalized signs will look different depending on their type. For example, you may be able to choose the material, finish, size, shape, and mounting style of a banner. But perhaps when it comes to channel letter signs there is only one real way to mount them based on your design and your building. Still, you should be able to customize most elements of most signs, including:
- Type of sign
- Choice of material, including mixing materials
- Size and shape
- Lighting and lighting type
- Color, images, and text
- Finishes like beveling
- Mounting type
How You Can Leverage Custom Signs
The uses of custom signs are almost endless. Your custom specialty signs can stand in anywhere that you need to communicate a message or compel action, regardless of what that message or action is.

GETTING CREATIVE WITH CUSTOM SIGNS
Displaying custom signs will set your business apart in the eyes of prospective customers, but making a sign unique isn’t simply a matter of placing your business logo on it. It could be your company mission statement proudly displayed in the lobby or a quote from someone famous that relates to your brand image.
To see how signs can grow your business, combine that individuality with a creative application. Here’s a few ideas:
- Ceiling signs. Metal, plastic, and wood are all possible materials for a hanging sign, and they can be real attention grabbers. Certain business types, for example dental surgeries, remedial massage, and physiotherapists, invite a memorable vinyl sign directly attached to the ceiling. It’s sure to get noticed.
- Digital signs. These have the advantage of being highly visible. And because the message can be changed, single digital signs can replace multiple printed ones. Thought of a new message you’d like to show your patrons? Just program it in.
- Environmental signs. These are generally designed to fit in with a carefully thought-out interior design. Colors and shapes are chosen to create a specific effect on those in the room. What is the mood you wish to convey? Happy? Comforting? Motivated? Ensure the sign content and design fit in.
- Hanging signs. We’ve already met the ceiling variety, but signs don’t always have to hang from a ceiling. A hanging real estate sign in front of a house can make a change from a simple sandwich board or corrugated plastic on a stick. An attractive hanging sign perpendicular to a shop’s entry door can help catch the attention of passers-by.
- Custom decals. The opportunities for creating any impression you wish are almost limitless with custom vinyl decals. Not only is it easy to create a unique graphic, but it can be applied to a wall, the floor, the ceiling, a counter, or a vehicle; the possibilities are only limited by imagination.
- Trade show displays. When you may be one of several similar businesses sharing a space, all competing for the same customers, it’s more important than ever to stand out. Trade shows are the time to apply maximum creativity and use multiple unique features to attract the eye of prospective customers.
Not sure where to start or what will work and what won’t? A professional sign company with experience in custom design will be able to take on board your wishes and concerns, appreciate your goals, and suggest the best ways to present the image you wish to convey to your customers through the creative use of custom signage.
What is the Cost of Custom Signs?
Custom signs range in price quite significantly. The most inexpensive are temporary signs, small signs, and those made of less expensive materials.
