Aluminum Sign Material

Aluminum is a versatile metal that provides several benefits in sign manufacturing. Its durability and resistance to weather, chemicals, corrosion, and rust make it ideal for long-term outdoor use. Additionally, aluminum is affordable and customizable, offering various options for graphic design, installation, and finishing.

Options in Aluminum

Aluminum material for signage is produced in large sheets and cut down to the needed size for each sign. Aluminum sheets come in two standard thicknesses:

Both thicknesses are suitable for outdoor use, with the thicker option offering greater stability and resistance to bending.

Rectangular aluminum signs often have rounded corners to avoid dangerous edges, available in:

These rounded corners prevent sharp edges, and the edges are deburred during fabrication to remove any rough imperfections.

Printing Options

Graphics can be added to aluminum signs through several methods, each capable of withstanding outdoor use for several years:

Both sides of aluminum sheeting have a smooth surface suitable for graphic application. If graphics are printed on only one side, the opposite side can remain the natural aluminum finish or be covered with painted enamel. With color options like bronze and gold, aluminum can mimic more expensive metals at a lower cost.

Finishing Options for Aluminum Signs

Various finishes and laminations can be applied to aluminum signs to create different looks and enhance durability:

The fabrication process also considers the installation location. Signs requiring holes for installation need special equipment to avoid damaging the surrounding aluminum. We can add:
