Custom Metal Signs FAQs
While plastic signs are a budget-friendly option for temporary or indoor use, metal signs offer unmatched durability, a polished professional look, and long-term value. If you’re looking to elevate your brand and make a lasting impression, a custom metal sign delivers the strength, style, and sophistication that plastic simply can’t match.
The weight of a metal sign depends on the material used (aluminum or steel), the thickness of the metal, and the overall dimensions of the sign. Here’s a quick reference guide to give you an idea of common weights:
Aluminum (.06″ thick):
1′ x 1′ → 0.9 lbs
2′ x 3′ → 5.4 lbs
4′ x 5′ → 18 lbs
Aluminum (.13″ thick):
1′ x 1′ → 2 lbs
2′ x 3′ → 12 lbs
4′ x 5′ → 40 lbs
Steel (16 gauge / .06″ thick):
1′ x 1′ → 2.5 lbs
2′ x 3′ → 15 lbs
4′ x 5′ → 50 lbs
Steel (10 gauge / .13″ thick):
1′ x 1′ → 5.6 lbs
2′ x 3′ → 33 lbs
4′ x 5′ → 112 lbs
Keep in mind that final weight can vary based on design complexity—cutouts, multiple panels, and layered elements can increase or decrease overall weight. Our team will help determine the best material and thickness for your sign based on aesthetics, functionality, and placement. If weight is a concern for installation or mounting, lighter materials like thinner aluminum may be ideal. We’re here to guide you through the best options for your custom design.
The ideal size depends on where your sign will be placed and how far it needs to be seen from. A good rule of thumb is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance. For example, if your sign is viewed from 300 feet away, your letters should be about 30 inches tall.
