Types of Blade Signs

What Are Blade Signs?

Blade signs are a term that takes after the way they look like a blade as they project over a walkway, blade signs are mounted or hung from the side of a building. They are perpendicular to the building’s face, making them visible to traffic in both directions. Blade signs have been in use for hundreds of years and are one of the most popular signs to draw pedestrian attention to a storefront. While they are historically flat and rectangular, they can also be made in many different styles. Types of blade signs we offer include:

  • Hanging Signs
  • Swinging Signs
  • Scroll Bracket Signs
  • Illuminated Signs
  • 3-Dimensional Signs
  • Push Through Letter Signs
  • Hand Painted Signs
Since blade signs are generally used outdoors, it is best to craft them from a material that can withstand the weather. Based on need, they can be made from:
  • Wood
  • Metal/Aluminum
  • Acrylic/Plastic

We can also customize the way a blade sign is mounted. This includes creating the pole for hanging signs and bracket for mounted signs. Both can be specifically designed to meet the requirements for sign type, spacing, wall material, and safety.

All of our blade signs are designed with your specific requirements in mind, and can be customized for size, depth, and more.
