Commercial signage
Cabinet & Box Signs
A cabinet sign puts the whole message on one illuminated face inside a fabricated aluminum box. It is the most economical illuminated storefront option, it handles complex logos and multi-line copy that would be awkward as individual letters, and the face can be replaced later without touching the cabinet.
Options
Ways we build cabinet & box signs.
The differences below change how the sign looks, what it costs, and how it is serviced later.
- 01
Flat-face cabinets
Printed or vinyl-applied polycarbonate faces in an aluminum extrusion. The workhorse storefront cabinet.
- 02
Push-through cabinets
Copy machined out of an aluminum face and pushed through in acrylic. A much higher-end look than a printed face.
- 03
Double-faced blade signs
Projecting cabinets mounted perpendicular to the building so the sign is readable along the sidewalk.
- 04
Face replacement
New faces and LED retrofit in an existing cabinet, for rebrands and tenant changes.
