A Buyer’s Guide to Custom Sign Creation

An eye-catching and innovative sign is a great way to attract new customers, communicate with potential clients, and share your branding vision. That’s why so many businesses are investing in custom aluminum signs and other dimensional signage for their locations. However, if you’ve never purchased a new sign before, you might be wondering how to make certain you get the very best one.

That’s why the team from Precision Cutting Service has collected some great tips and facts to help you make your buying experience easier.

Consider the Right Size For You

When choosing the best sign for your business, size always matters. Carefully consider where you plan to install your new sign and take precise measurements to ensure the proper fit. It’s always best to be a bit conservative and shave an inch or two off your measurements just to be certain your new sign can be easily installed.

Familiarize Yourself With Local Sign Regulations

Most communities and building owners have regulations governing what type of signage you may have. Contact your local government and building owner to find out the dos and don’ts before you go to the trouble of making a sign that may not be in compliance with the regulations.

Style & Purpose

Is your sign going to be used to communicate the hours and contact information of your business? Perhaps you want a custom aluminum sign that showcases your new logo. Either way, having a clear idea of the style you want and the sign’s purpose will make the buying process much easier. There is a range of different sign styles available such as hanging signs, custom shapes and symbols, and innovative eye-catching designs, making it easy to choose the right one for your needs.

Materials

In addition to custom-cut aluminum, signs are also created from a range of materials including wood, metal, plastic, vinyl, glass, foam board, cloth, and more. The right material for you will depend on where it will be installed and what its uses will be. For outdoor signs, aluminum is probably best. And for added snap and protection, you may elect to powder coat your sign in a range of different colors.
