Collaboration is in our DNA
From the first call with our team we will be asking questions to ensure we make exactly what you want. We encourage the designers to push the limits on what we can make, forcing collaboration between sales and fabrication. On the fabrication side we are always pulling together multiple people from different parts of the business as a second set of eyes. We encourage you to stretch the limits too!

For larger SIGNS, we use aluminum, a material that makes our custom signs light enough to hang in just drywall. Which can be removed and moved to another location with ease.

Custom Business Sign Options from ShieldCo
When you work with ShieldCo for your custom metal sign, the opportunities are endless. We can use different materials: steel, brass, copper, corten, or our company-wide favorite, aluminum. You can choose from hundreds of colors, or we can pick the colors that match your logo. We can create flat business signs, or our favorite ones, 3D metal business signs with multiple layers.
Through the thousands of signs that we’ve created, we have identified five main categories that most signs fall under. Browse through the following options to help you determine the best fit for your business needs:
- Single-layer business signs
- Single-layer with back panel (2 layers)
- Multi-layer sign – our signature style
- Individual lettering
- Multi-layer + individual lettering
Option 1 – Single-layer business sign
This option cuts out all lettering to expose the wall behind the business sign. It’s a simple design but still impactful. We can use our
typical french cleat on the back of the metal sign for easy installation or we can use stainless steel standoffs if required. If we add framework to the back of the sign, we can add custom lighting.
Option 2 – Single-layer sign with back panel
Similar to option #1, this version adds a panel behind your business sign to provide added contrast. It adds depth and visual interest to the custom metal signs, and is the first true step into the “3D” realm. The front layers cast shadows on the back panel, bringing the metal sign to life. As with all our business signs, you can add custom lighting for even greater impact.
Option 3 – Multi layer
Our Signature Style
This is the type of business sign you need when looking to make a great first impression. We strive to create the highest quality business signs in order to match the caliber of your company’s products and services.
This sign features your logo and/or lettering precisely cut out and layered off the back panel to give depth and texture. We take the time to analyze your custom logo and understand how to transform it into a piece of art.
Our customers love these metal signs for their business because every part is attached to one backer panel, making it extremely easy to hang. Installation can take as little as 10 minutes.
Option 4 – Individual lettering
The most popular option for when your wall color or texture contributes to the overall aesthetic of your business signage.
This type of metal sign separates each part of your logo to be hung as individual pieces. We provide a foolproof template to drill each individual hole on the wall with precision. The end result is a sleek, professional sign.
Option 5 – Multi-layer sign + individual lettering combo
Sometimes a blend of these two options creates the best impact.
Individual lettering mounted to your wall, plus our signature layered custom logo, adds an artistic element that really stands out.
The installation process is made easy by providing the template for the placement of each hole to be drilled, and ready to mount a multi-layer logo on the wall. This ensures a foolproof installation that leaves you with a polished look to match your company’s business standards.
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:nnu003cbu003eAluminum (.06u0022 thick):u003c/bu003enn 1′ x 1′ → 0.9 lbsnn 2′ x 3′ → 5.4 lbsnn 4′ x 5′ → 18 lbsnnu003cbu003eAluminum (.13u0022 thick):u003c/bu003enn 1′ x 1′ → 2 lbsnn 2′ x 3′ → 12 lbsnn 4′ x 5′ → 40 lbsnnu003cbu003eSteel (16 gauge / .06u0022 thick):u003c/bu003enn 1′ x 1′ → 2.5 lbsnn 2′ x 3′ → 15 lbsnn 4′ x 5′ → 50 lbsnnu003cbu003eSteel (10 gauge / .13u0022 thick):u003c/bu003enn 1′ x 1′ → 5.6 lbsnn 2′ x 3′ → 33 lbsnn 4′ x 5′ → 112 lbsnnKeep 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. nnu003ca href=u0022https://shieldcoart.com/blog/determining-business-sign-size/u0022u003e Learn more about custom metal sign sizingu003c/au003e
