What Are Brushed Aluminum Signs?
Brushed aluminum signs, the ultimate in durability and aesthetics, are made by printing any image, graphic, or design directly onto a 3mm brushed aluminum e-panel material. This material has a brushed face and is composed of two sheets of aluminum with a reinforced polyethylene core. This makeup allows for maximum durability while providing the appearance of stainless steel at a fraction of the price.
Designed for both internal and external use, brushed aluminum signs are commonly used to display business names, logos, suite numbers, titles, and general information. They are great for lobby and receptionist areas, stores, waiting rooms, internal offices, hallways, bathrooms, and more. Brushed aluminum signs are also popular as restroom, exit, handicap, and maximum occupancy signs. Templates for these types of signs and more are available in the popular templates section below.

Questions and Answers
The sharp edges on these signs can pose a safety issue if it’s not handled properly. If your sign is going to be placed in a location that prevents this, then you have nothing to worry about other than handling the sign with care during installation. Alternatively, we offer a "Rounded Corners" option in which we'll cut the corners at either a 1/4" or 1" radius to eliminate the dangerous corners and provide a clean look to your sign. This is an affordable option that can be selected on the design tool.
While our standard aluminum signs can be printed on both sides, the brushed aluminum signs are only single-sided.
We do not offer any custom engraving of the sign at this time.
There are several different shape options to choose from for your brushed aluminum sign, including Square/Rectangle, Rounded Corners (¼” or 1” radius), Circle/Oval, Custom, and Custom with Border.
The Custom shape option (Contour Cut) allows you to either upload a custom shape to our online design tool or have us create a custom shape for your sign based on your design. The Custom with Border shape option (Halo Cut) is similar to the Custom shape option but will leave a small border around the edge of your design.
In both cases there are exceptions in our ability to cut intricate designs and those that are less than 1” thick in any given location of the sign. Also, be aware that a cut to shape metal sign can be very sharp and should be always handled with care.
We print directly onto the surface of the brushed aluminum to produce visually crisp and clear signs that are instantly stunning. Vinyl overlays can be susceptible to peeling away over time whereas the UV ink we print with is both scratch and fade resistant.
While we do use fade and abrasion-resistant ink in our printing process, you can choose to have your sign coated with our protective laminate for an additional barrier against everyday wear and tear. This laminate will add a glossy, vibrant finish to your sign and will help protect it against fading, scratches, graffiti, and more.
Unlike our standard aluminum which is white, our blank brushed aluminum has the metallic brushed look you will see on the actual sign. We then simply print directly onto the surface according to your logo or design. The makeup of the sign as described above is two thin outer sheets of aluminum with a reinforced plastic core.
Yes. Aluminum is a type of durable and rust-resistant metal that is a wonderful option for exterior and interior signage. Whether you want to call it a metal sign, e-panel sign, or aluminum sign we’ll understand what you’re referring to. Just make sure you specify between the standard and brushed aluminum products we offer.
