Making Metal Signs: Why Metal Will Never Go Out of Style

Can you believe it only takes 10 seconds for someone to form an opinion about your business's logo?

This makes having a memorable sign a must for any business, large or small. And no material is better suited for making high-quality business and personal signs than metal.

Keep reading for all the reasons why metal signs are ideal for your next custom sign project.

Durable

Few materials are more suitable for continual outdoor use than metal. Plastic will often fade in the sun, break, and crumble within a few years. On the other hand, metal often lasts for decades, especially if it is powder-coated. 

Outdoor metal signs excel in durability and are able to withstand all types of weathering. This includes temperature extremes of both hot and cold. Because ShieldCo's aluminum signs are powder-coated, they can even withstand the effects of water and snow.

Our powder coating process provides a seal thicker and stronger than paint. This makes our ShieldCo metal signs resistant to chipping, cracking, and fading.

When you choose custom metal signs for your business, you are assured of a quality article that is both sturdy and low maintenance. At most, you may choose to wipe off accumulated residue now and then, and you're good to go.

If you're in the market for custom metal business signs, ShieldCo's high-quality craftsmanship will ensure that you get a sturdy, durable piece of art able to withstand the test of time.

Flexible

Metal business signs are not only ideal for outdoor use. They are also fantastic for indoor display. From dental lobbies to law offices, from vet clinics to churches, displaying your name and symbol on a metal sign provides an artistic and unique touch.

When displayed at close range it is important to have a visually interesting design. ShieldCo's unique 3D crafting process can add layers of depth to your sign. We can create designs that feature over 20 layers!

Additionally, we offer the option of adding vibrant, multicolored LED lights to your metal sign. This provides an eye-catching glow of color and clarity. It also makes them valuable marketing tools, even at night!

Metal signs are also flexible in that they are perfect for everything from international companies down to small businesses and even yard signs. They're perfect for your dream "Man Cave" renovation, or to decorate a truck.

We are extremely flexible in every step of the design process. Send us your rough sketches and general dimensions, and we can work together from there. 

We offer a range of metals from stainless steel to brass, copper, corten, or aluminum. These options offer flexibility on weight and price. Our goal is to make sure you receive custom metal business signs that fill you with joy.

In addition, if you send us a photo of the spot where your sign will go, we can help you with sizing decisions. We can even offer professional ideas on adapting the design to be most effective in the given space.

Customizable

Your logo is one of the most important elements of your business's branding and marketing. A good logo should be instantly eye-catching and stick with people long after they've seen it.

A business logo metal sign never fails to create a memorable first impression. Metal can convey any theme from sleek to rustic, futuristic to elegant. Your brand's tone can easily be conveyed through a thoughtful composition of metals and colors.

We offer powder coating for the most high-quality and beautiful finish to your aluminum sign. Powder-coated colors are vibrant and attention-grabbing. When you choose a powder-coated finish, you will also ensure that the colors won't fade or become dulled by weathering and time.

ShieldCo's precision laser cutting will be able to replicate your logo design in stunning detail. Our lasers cut with a width of .001 inches for maximum accuracy. No design is too simple or too complex for us to tackle.

You will be involved in every step of the design process, from first sketches to 3D mockups to the final product. Check out our gallery for inspiration to kick-start your project.

Cost-Effective

Don't be fooled by cheaper alternatives, like wood or plastic. Although they may claim to cost less, they wear out faster than metal business signs. They also require more expensive maintenance.

This can include paying a service to clean and repair your cheaper sign. You will also need to replace a cheap sign sooner than a metal one. All of these hidden costs add up over the lifespan of the sign.

Custom metal business signs are an investment that pays off for decades to come. They require much less maintenance and repairs, and they don't need to be replaced as often. This makes them the more cost-effective option.
