Custom Signs for Union Township Businesses
Union Township combines a traditional downtown, neighborhood retail, professional offices, medical practices, restaurants, mixed-use properties, shopping centers, commercial corridors, and larger business sites around Morris Avenue, Stuyvesant Avenue, Route 22, Route 82, and surrounding areas.
That creates several different sign environments within one township. A downtown storefront needs signage that works at pedestrian distance and fits its neighbors. A Route 22 commercial property needs stronger roadside visibility. A professional or medical office needs directories, suite signs, privacy film, ADA signage and interior wayfinding once customers are inside.
Since 2005, our New Jersey team has handled storefront signs, channel letters, dimensional lettering, projecting signs, custom awnings, window graphics, office signs, directories, ADA signage, vehicle graphics, tenant changes and recurring commercial sign work, from a shop minutes away in Linden.
Two Sign Environments
Downtown Union and Route 22 Need Different Sign Strategies
The ordinance separates several commercial environments, mixed-use districts, Downtown Core and Downtown Transition, CC and C/I, OSR and other commercial zones. The sign that works downtown is not the sign that works on Route 22.
Downtown Core & Downtown Transition
Pedestrian distance
- Storefront signs and dimensional lettering
- Projecting signs
- Awnings
- Window and door graphics
- Directories
Route 22 & larger commercial
Roadside distance
- Channel letters
- Larger wall-mounted identification
- Building and tenant signage
- Parking and directional signs
- Facility and interior signage
Downtown Storefronts
Storefront Signs for Downtown Union Businesses
Downtown businesses are seen from closer range than businesses along the larger commercial roads. Customers approach on foot, from nearby parking, from neighboring stores, along Morris Avenue and Stuyvesant Avenue, from mixed-use properties and from local transit.
That gives the storefront several working surfaces:
- The main storefront sign. The business name and logo stay the primary identification.
- A projecting sign. Keeps the business visible while customers approach along the sidewalk.
- A custom awning. Defines the storefront and adds another place for identification.
- Window and door graphics. Hours, entrance details, short service information and promotions.

How It Works
From Site Survey Through Installation
Gogi Signs has served New Jersey businesses since 2005, from a shop in Linden: minutes from Union Township.
01
Quantity and repeatability
We measure the storefront, office, commercial building, or interior area and document existing signs, windows, awnings, entrances, and mounting conditions.
02
Design and Planning
Artwork is fitted to the actual tenant frontage, available sign area, architecture, construction, customer approach, and the district the property sits in.
03
Fabrication and Printing
Approved projects move through fabrication, cutting, large-format printing, vinyl production, finishing, and electrical assembly where applicable.
04
Installation
Our insured installation crew coordinates site access, removes existing signage where included, and installs the completed signs and graphics.
05
Ongoing Service
When a tenant changes, lighting needs repair, window graphics need replacement, or another sign is required, we can return to the property.
Route 22 Corridor
Route 22 Businesses Need More Roadside Readability
Route 22 properties are seen from moving vehicles and across larger parking areas, which changes how the sign should be designed.
- Letter height. Road-facing identification needs more scale than a pedestrian sign.
- Sign width. Proportionate to the tenant frontage or building elevation.
- Contrast. Letters and logos need separation from the façade and surrounding commercial activity.
- Placement. Positioned where customers naturally see it while approaching the property.
- Illumination. Where permitted, illuminated signage improves nighttime identification.
- Copy. The business name and logo lead; detail belongs on windows, doors and supporting graphics.
Sign Rules & Permits
Union Township Sign Rules and Permits
The numbers that decide what can be built, and which district they belong to.
- Projecting signs, downtown. Permitted in Downtown Core and Downtown Transition, one per street frontage, up to 12 square feet and four feet wide.
- Projecting sign clearance. At least eight feet above the sidewalk, kept at first-floor level, to Special Improvement District standards.
- Wall signs, CC and C/I districts. Generally one per building, up to 50 square feet or 10% of the gross façade area, whichever is greater.
- Second frontage. A secondary wall sign may be allowed where a building faces a second public right-of-way, under a smaller area limit.
- Also limited. Wall-sign height, total sign width and projection from the building.
- Window signs. Up to 25% of the applicable window area, one sign per window.
- Directories and menus. Permitted at a building’s main entrance, maximum three square feet.
- Multi-tenant buildings. Signs must stay uniform in design, colors, background, lettering style, lettering height and position on the wall.
- Temporary signs. Freestanding or building-attached, but never illuminated and not permitted within public rights-of-way.
- Prohibited outright. Feather flags, moving, fluttering and rotating signs, video, simulated movement, and flashing or intermittent lighting.
- Off-site signs. Billboards are prohibited township-wide, including conversion of static billboards to digital LED.
- Permit first. Required before any sign, fixed awning, canopy or projecting object is erected or altered, with two sets of plans showing construction and method of attachment.
- Check the current code. The land-development code was amended again in 2026, including ordinances affecting Chapter 170: an old sign schedule is not a safe basis.
For a tenant moving into an existing space this matters more than usual, because the previous sign may have been approved under older conditions. We need the exact address, zoning district, tenant frontage, building façade, existing signage, proposed sign type, dimensions, mounting method and illumination before production. The application is filed by you or your landlord. We assist with permits; we do not file them on your behalf.

Tenant Changeover
Moving Into an Existing Union Business Space?
We survey what is already on the building before quoting a replacement, and check it against the current code, not the one the old sign was approved under.
What you may inherit
- Channel-letter raceways, wiring and sign cabinets
- Awning frames and projecting-sign brackets
- Window vinyl and door lettering
- Directory systems, suite signs and reception signs
- Existing façade penetrations and mounting
A usable cabinet may only need a new face, an awning frame may be recoverable, and a directory may need one listing changed.
What the changeover covers
- Previous tenant sign removal and existing-condition survey
- Storefront measurements and new exterior identification
- Channel-letter and wall-sign replacement
- Replacement sign faces and awning recovering
- Window-vinyl removal, new window graphics and door lettering
- Directory updates, suite signs and interior identification
- Temporary opening graphics, then final installation
Anything damaged, outdated or nonconforming comes off rather than staying up beside the new sign.
Repair & Refacing
Sign Repair, Refacing, and Replacement
Union Township has a large inventory of established storefront and commercial signage. Over time lighting fails, letters loosen, sign faces fade, vinyl wears, awning fabric ages, tenant names change and directory listings go out of date.
Gogi Signs repairs and updates commercial signs even when another company originally fabricated them. Common service work includes:
- Channel-letter repair
- LED and electrical service
- Replacement sign faces
- Dimensional-letter repair
- Awning recovering
- Window-vinyl replacement
- Directory updates
- Tenant-panel replacement
- Dock-number replacement
- Sign removal
- Interior sign replacement
- New tenant conversion
Where the existing structure remains useful, repair or refacing may make more sense than replacement. Where continued repair is no longer practical, we can fabricate new signage.
