Standoff Signs
Standoff Signs That Float Your Logo Off the Wall in New Jersey Offices
A standoff sign is a panel that floats off the wall on metal standoffs. It gives a logo, a room name or a directory real depth without a bulky frame. We cut, print, layer and install standoff signs in clear, frosted and colored acrylic or brushed metal for offices, lobbies and buildings across New Jersey. We also install in the five boroughs; see our NYC service area.

The Basics
Why Pick a Standoff Sign
Standoff signs sit between flat wall graphics and full raised letters. You get depth and a finished look, with one panel instead of dozens of letters.
The panel is held a short distance off the wall by metal standoffs, usually one at each corner. That small gap throws a shadow and makes the sign feel built in. Clear acrylic lets the wall color show through, frosted acrylic makes the copy pop, and metal panels look architectural.
Want separate letters with no panel instead? See dimensional letters.

Printed and Layered
Full color logos printed on the panel, with raised layers when you want more depth.
Brushed Metal Panels
Brushed or painted metal for an architectural look in offices and lobbies.
Hardware
The Standoffs Are Part of the Design
You see the hardware, so we pick it like a finish, not an afterthought.

Cap finishBrushed, polished or black to match the room.
Hole placementHoles planned around the artwork, never through it.

FAQs
Standoff Sign Questions
Straight answers to what New Jersey businesses ask about standoff signs.
What is a standoff sign?
A flat panel, usually acrylic or metal, held a short distance off the wall by metal standoffs. The gap adds depth and a shadow, so the sign looks finished and built in.
Standoff sign or dimensional letters: which is better?
A standoff sign is one panel, so it is quicker to install, needs fewer holes and is easier to move. Dimensional letters have no panel and look more built into the wall. Many lobbies use letters for the logo and standoff panels for room and directory signs.
How thick is the acrylic?
Acrylic standoff panels are commonly 1/8 to 1/2 inch thick. Bigger panels and raised layers usually use the thicker sheet.
Can standoff signs go on glass, tile or brick?
Yes. We match the anchors to the wall: drywall, brick, block, tile, stone or wood. On glass walls we can use adhesive standoff mounts or a backer panel.
Can a standoff sign go outside?
Yes, with the right panel and hardware, like an address sign by a door. Outside signs in New Jersey may need town approval, so we check before we build.
Will it damage the wall?
Usually just one small hole per standoff. If the sign comes down, those holes get patched and painted.
How much does a standoff sign cost?
It depends on the panel size, material, printing or raised layers, the hardware and how many signs you need. Send your logo, a wall photo and a rough size for a price.
Do you install standoff signs in New York City?
Yes, in all five boroughs. See our NYC service area.
