Custom cut aluminum signs are one of the best values in advertising. Sturdy and long-lasting, a good aluminum sign is a relatively inexpensive investment that can create new returns every day as it brings more customers into your business.
Of course, not every sign is going to have the same payoff, and there are important considerations to be made beforehand. With years of experience custom-crafting a wide variety of signs for businesses of all types, we know what it takes to create truly effective custom cut aluminum signage.
Five Tips for Creating the Best Custom Cut Aluminum Signs
1. Know your local building codes
It doesn’t happen often, but we’ve had a few unfortunate situations where someone ordered a sign from us, and then discovered that it broke their local zoning ordinances. Before ordering any kind of signage, you should always contact your city authorities to find out what rules and regulations may exist.
2. Create a striking design
Sure, the sign could just be your business name—but why not do more? This is the perfect opportunity to cut or stack your logo on a custom cut sign. Custom cut aluminum signage can have virtually any shape or form, so it’s going to be most effective when creating something truly unique and eye-catching.
3. Add colorful coating for outdoors advertising
It’s inexpensive to add a colorful coating to an aluminum sign, and it will significantly increase its visibility during the day and at night. Bright colors will actively attract eyeballs to your sign.
4. Go dimensional for added impact
One of the best aspects of custom cut aluminum signs is that they don’t have to be flat. Aluminum is so lightweight and easy to work with that you can efficiently create signs that are three-dimensional. For example, they might have a backplate, with raised lettering popping out from the background. Or, you can enclose the logo within a raised circle or another symbol. There’s almost no limit, and a dimensional sign will always attract more looks.
5. Consider the angles
From what direction might someone approach your business? Is there any difference in the approach between foot and car traffic? In some cases, it’s worth ordering multiple signs so that you can have a sign visible from any direction.
