Directory Signage
Directory Signs for New Jersey Lobbies, Floors and Tenant Buildings
Lobby directories, floor directories and tenant boards with strips you can change one name at a time. We build directory signs for office buildings, medical centers, schools and apartment buildings, then keep them current with matching strips as tenants come and go. We also install in the five boroughs; see our NYC service area.

Why It Matters
The Most Read Sign in the Lobby
Almost every visitor reads the directory. It is how they find the right floor, the right suite and the right person, often before they meet anyone.
A good directory is easy to scan, uses the same names as the doors upstairs and stays current. An out of date directory sends visitors to empty suites and tells them the building is not cared for.
We design the directory around how many names you have now, leave room to grow and make updates quick and cheap.
Lobby directoriesEvery tenant in the building, by floor and suite.
Floor directoriesWho is on this floor, with arrows.
Easy updatesSwap one strip when a tenant moves.
Easy to scanClear type, sorted lists, strong contrast.
Directory Types
Eight Directories for Every Building
From a five line suite board to a full lobby wall. Pick the type that fits your building and how often names change.
Large Lobby Directories
Wall size boards that list every tenant in the building.
Medical Building Directories
Departments and doctors grouped by specialty and floor.
Elevator Lobby Directories
Floor by floor listings next to the elevator bank.
Logo Header Directories
Your logo or building name printed on the header panel.
Hanging and Aisle Directories
Hung from the ceiling to list departments or aisles.
How It Works
Tenants Move. Your Directory Keeps Up.
A changeable directory is built from separate strips, one per line. When a tenant moves in or out, you change one strip instead of the whole sign.
- Send us the new name and suite number.
- We print a strip that matches the font, color and size of the others.
- Slide the old strip out and the new one in. No tools, no wall work.
- Plan a few blank strips at the start so the list can grow.
The same idea works for doctors in a medical building, departments in a school and residents in an apartment lobby.

FAQs
Directory Sign Questions
What New Jersey property managers and practices ask before ordering a directory.
What is a directory sign?
A directory sign lists the tenants, departments or rooms in a building or on a floor, usually with suite numbers and arrows, so visitors can find where they are going.
What is the best directory for a building with changing tenants?
A changeable strip directory. Each line is its own strip, so you replace one name without touching the rest of the sign.
How do we update a name on our directory?
Send us the new name and suite number. We print a strip that matches the others, and you slide it into place. Paper insert directories can be updated from your own printer.
Do directory signs need braille?
No. Building directories are an exception in section 216.1 of the 2010 ADA Standards. Room and suite signs at the door may still need raised letters and braille.
How big should our directory be?
It depends on how many names you list and how far away people read it. Send us your current list and we will lay it out with room to grow.
Can the directory include our logo, suite numbers and arrows?
Yes. Most directories have a header with the building name or logo, and each line can carry a suite number and an arrow.
How much does a directory sign cost?
It depends on the size, the number of lines, the material and the install. Send us your tenant list and a photo of the wall and we will price it.
Do you install directory signs in New York City?
Yes, in all five boroughs. See our NYC service area.
