The sign looks gorgeous!!! Overall experience was great! Justin was so knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. He advised what material would be better in my case. Also, he went an extra step to contact and instruct installers on how to put the sign up. This saved me lots of time. The real sign looks just like the digital preview. Thank you so much!!!!!

Product Information for Custom Outdoor Business Signs
What are the 7 best sign materials for outdoor use?
Here is the definitive list of the top 7 business sign materials used to manufacture outdoor signs:
1. Dibond
Invented in 1965, Dibond has stood the test of time outside as one of the most durable construction materials
available in the entire sign industry. Rigid, aluminum-plated Dibond custom sign panels are:
- Unusually versatile
- Strong
- Waterproof
- UV stable, and
- Unaffected by hot & cold temperature extremes.
2. Alumalite
The engineered, honeycomb structure of Alumalite provides 240% greater panel strength for areas prone to
high winds. The impressive, weather-resistant characteristics of Alumalite signs are the same as Dibond.
For rectangular or square shapes, Alumalite remains one of the best materials to use for exterior signs. Other types of materials are preferred when custom sign shapes are required.

A wall sign's price varies on size, material, finish and how you are attaching it.
It depends on what kind of sign you are interested in, be it channel lettering or a real estate sign. The most popular sizes for outdoor signs are 10” x 12”, 24” x 36”, “48 x 48” & “48 x 96”, among others.
Outdoor signs can be hung in many different ways, from custom-lighted cabinets to classic brackets or screws.
A lighted sign is highly visible at night. Signs like channel letters will catch the eyes of passersby long after the sun has set.
No sign is truly weatherproof, though there are ways to make one weather resistant. One of the most important things to consider when purchasing an outdoor sign is solar protection. Without any protection, your sign will quickly fade.
There is no special term for outdoor signs, though you may hear the words “exterior” or “outdoor” used interchangeably with “outside.”
There are many different kinds of outdoor signs, whether they be channel letters or real estate signs. Size and illumination are two factors that affect the cost of a sign.
You can separate outdoor signs into traditional and digital. The latter category are primarily screens, while the former are essentially those without screens – aluminum signs, channel lettering, etc.
One of the ways you can mount a sign without screws or nails is to use command strips, which don’t leave any markings on the wall.
There are many ways to install an outdoor sign because it all depends on where you want to put it. It could be as simple as sticking a sign in your yard or mounting dimensional letters to a wall.
Channel letters are a type of three-dimensional signage. Most channel letters are illuminated so they are visible during the day and even more so at night. Their name is derived from the channel in each letter, which houses the illumination.
“Solar protection” refers to material that affects a sign’s fade resistance. Most signs fade after 2 years if they are not protected.
In order to keep your sign from fading, you need a UV protective laminate. Depending on the laminated, a sign can go 3 years or all the way up to 10 years without fading
