Custom Metal Signs
At ShieldCo, we specialize in transforming raw metal into custom signage that doesn’t just label a space, it defines it.
The ShieldCo Difference
Our metal signs are designed to impress, made to last, and expertly crafted to suit your space, your story, and your standards.
We work with a wide range of metals, including aluminum, steel, brass, copper, and stainless steel, each chosen for its visual appeal, performance, and staying power. Our materials are sourced from trusted suppliers and carefully selected for every project, ensuring long-term consistency and top-tier quality.
Whether you need a bold business logo, a dimensional architectural sign, or a piece that blends multiple finishes and textures, our team knows how to bring out the best qualities in every metal. Picture brass letters on a brushed aluminum backdrop, or a laser-cut stainless steel frame with copper detailing; we layer, weld, polish, and finish each sign to turn heads and exceed expectations.
Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities
Our signs are more than stunning, they’re precision-engineered. Behind every ShieldCo piece is a commitment to high-end fabrication and artistry.
We use state-of-the-art equipment including industrial fiber lasers, CNC routers, and computer-controlled cutting systems to create clean lines, intricate graphics, and tight tolerances across all metals. Our forming capabilities, such as precision bending, deep drawing, and progressive stamping, enable us to manufacture one-of-a-kind 3D signs that go far beyond traditional flat panels.
To ensure each piece is structurally sound and seamless, we use both TIG and MIG welding, as well as specialized joining techniques depending on the metal type. Once assembled, our post-weld finishing process removes fabrication marks and ensures a polished, refined appearance suitable for any space, from corporate lobbies, industrial exteriors, to luxury interiors.
Surface Treatment and Protection
What makes a metal sign last decades? The right finish. We offer a full suite of protective surface treatments that preserve beauty, boost resilience, and enhance your brand image.
Our in-house powder coating process gives each sign a durable, scratch-resistant surface with exceptional color customization and long-term UV resistance—far outperforming standard liquid paints. Whether you’re looking for a modern matte black, vibrant powder-coated color, or brushed and sealed raw metal, we make sure your sign stays bold and beautiful in any environment.
We also offer clear coating and patina finishes for projects that need a distinct look with maximum protection from rust, corrosion, or wear. Whatever your visual goals or installation conditions, we can match a finish that aligns with both style and function.

Indoor Custom Metal Signs
Elevate your space with custom indoor metal signs that showcase your brand in style. Ideal for lobbies, offices, and reception areas, these signs add dimension, professionalism, and personality to any interior.
Using premium materials like aluminum or stainless steel, our signs feature dimensional layers, precision-cut designs, and optional backlighting to stand out.
Outdoor Signs Built To Last
Want to boost your business visibility? ShieldCo’s custom laser-cut metal signs are perfect for making a strong impression, whether it’s a monument sign or above your entryway. Our bespoke designs are tailored specifically for your commercial space, ensuring a standout presence.
Our powder coating technology ensures the colors stay vibrant and chip-free. Unlike paint, powder coating uses an electrostatic charge to bond the color, which is then baked on for lasting durability.
Combined with tough aluminum, our signs can withstand even the harshest weather conditions, making them ideal for both commercial office fronts and residential gallery walls, ensuring your sign remains impressive for years to come.

Custom Metal Signs FAQs
The standard time frame for handmade, custom-tailored signs is approximately four to six weeks from purchase. Once the sign is complete we take pictures of the sign so you can see how it looks.
While we have a project minimum of $1,500 the majority of our custom metal signs fall within the $3,000-$7,000 range.
No, you don’t need to provide a vector graphic. We can create one for you. Vector graphics are preferred because they scale without losing quality, making your design look sharp at any size. If you don’t have one, we’ll professionally trace your design to ensure it’s perfect for production.
Metal is the best option for durability and precision. Aluminum is our top choice because it’s strong, weather-resistant, and looks high-quality. Other options, like vinyl or wood, don’t offer the same durability or finish, making these materials less favorable for certain products that benefit from engraving.
We use powder coating for its wide range of colors and durability. We also offer colored acrylic for added color options.
We can make signs in almost any size. Our typical sizes range from 2 to 10 feet wide or tall, but we can create larger signs using a grid system. The smallest we’ve made is 1 inch, and the largest is 16 feet.
- Minimum size: >1″
- Standard size: 2′-10′ wide or tall
- Maximum size: Unlimited (using a grid system)
Aluminum signs won’t rust. Rust forms when iron reacts with moisture, but aluminum doesn’t contain iron. For a rustic look, we offer Cor-Ten steel, which forms a protective rust layer without continuing to corrode.
Aluminum signs are lightweight. A sign that’s 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall typically weighs less than 40 lbs, making them easy to hang without stressing the structure. This feature often earns positive reviews from customers who appreciate ease of installation.
We offer several installation methods:
- French cleat: For larger signs, distributes weight evenly.
- Template and studs: For individual letters or pieces, we provide a template for easy installation.
- French cleat
- Individual studs
- Aluminum or stainless steel standoffs
