What Are Metal Signs?

Metal signs are printed with high-performance UV ink on a 3 mm e-panel material. E-panel is two .008” aluminum sheets with a solid polyethylene core. With proper care and use, metal signs can stay vibrant for five to seven years. They are also strong enough to withstand hail, heat, and rain.

These signs are great for both indoor and outdoor settings and can be used for directional signs, real estate advertising, safety and regulatory signs, parking spaces, and more. Our metal sign options range from aluminum signs and reflective signs to brushed aluminum. Here at Signs.com, you can also choose to add drilled holes, standoffs, or use other accessories like 3M command strips or adhesive Velcro with your order for easy installation.

Yes! In order for us to produce a high-quality print, kindly submit an artwork that has the same size as the order you're planning to place. The resolution should be at least 150 dpi. For the colors, please make sure to upload an artwork with CMYK colors as per printing standards.

Q:
There's a prior question regarding metal signs and outdoor use but the answer seems to be about metal prints not signs. The aluminum, reflective aluminum, and brushed aluminum metal signs all seem to be marketed for outdoor use. Is that correct?
Asked 4 months ago by Kaitlyn G.
A:

Yes, you're correct. Aluminum, reflective aluminum, and brushed aluminum metal signs are indeed marketed for outdoor use, and here's why:

Durability of Metal Signs for Outdoor Use:

  1. Aluminum Signs:
    • Standard Aluminum: Regular aluminum signs are weather-resistant, rust-proof, and lightweight, making them ideal for outdoor signage. They can withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, snow, and direct sunlight, without deteriorating.
  2. Reflective Aluminum Signs:
    • Reflective Aluminum: These signs have a reflective coating that enhances visibility at night or in low-light conditions when light shines on them. They are commonly used for traffic signs, parking signs, and other outdoor applications where visibility is crucial.
  3. Brushed Aluminum Signs:
    • Brushed Aluminum: This type of aluminum has a textured, brushed finish that gives it a sophisticated appearance. While it is also durable and suitable for outdoor use, it is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal as well as its durability. It resists corrosion and maintains its look even in challenging weather conditions.

Why They Are Suitable for Outdoor Use:

  • Weather Resistance: All these types of aluminum signs are resistant to corrosion, rust, and UV rays, which means they can handle exposure to the elements over time without significant wear.

  • Lightweight and Strong: Aluminum is both lightweight and strong, making it easy to install while still being durable enough for outdoor conditions.

  • Customizable: They can be printed with high-quality graphics, logos, and text that remain vibrant over time, even when exposed to the elements.

In summary, aluminum, reflective aluminum, and brushed aluminum signs are all designed and marketed for outdoor use due to their durability, weather resistance, and ability to maintain their appearance over time.

Q:
What metal sign materials are suitable for outdoor use?
Asked 7 months ago by Jackie
A:

I'm afraid our metal prints are most suitable for indoor use only. While we do not recommend displaying your metal prints outdoors, it is technically possible to do so. In such cases, avoid displaying them in adverse weather conditions, including in rain and wind. Although metal prints are very durable and resistant to water, they are not designed to be outdoor prints.

Q:
Do your signs come with frames ... if not, do you custom a frame to the size I order?
Asked 10 months ago by Jacque H.
A:

Our metal signs apparently don't come with frames. However, you may want to consider our real estate frames, where you can order them with aluminum signs and frames.

Q:
I'd like to order 45 aluminum signs that are 48"x48" - each would have a different design. I can supply a professional PDF file as needed. How would we price them? 45 individual orders? Or is there a volume discount?
Asked 11 months ago by Mirinda G.
A:

Yes, each design would be for a separate item in the order. As much as we would like to provide a discount, at the moment, the only promo we have on hand is free shipping as long as the order reaches $99 and above, with limitations that the rigid sign should not be beyond 36". Otherwise, this is going to be shipped via freight. What I can highly suggest, though, is that if you are tax exempt, kindly create an account on the website and apply for our tax exempt program. You may send the documents to tax_forms@signs.com for it to be reviewed. Once approved, all orders will be tax exempt.

Q:
Are your metal signs magnetic?
Asked 12 months ago by Jamie
A:

Our metal signs boast high-quality printing using high-performance UV ink on a durable 3 mm E-panel material. E-panel is a composite material consisting of two .008” aluminum sheets with a solid polyethylene core, ensuring both strength and resilience. While the aluminum layers in our signs aren't magnetic due to the nature of aluminum itself, and the polyethylene core doesn't add magnetic properties, this design ensures a long-lasting and sturdy display suitable enough to withstand hail, heat, and rain.

We offer different types of metal signs for you to choose from: Aluminum, Brushed Aluminum and Reflective Aluminum Signs.

  • 4' x 4'
Q:

  • None
  • Four Corners
