Did you know a sign cabinet or illuminated sign cabinet is fabricated for many types of uses?
You can view some of the uses by simply scrolling down this page to see some photos of different types of sign cabinets.
You may notice that they can range from simple store front ID signs to large towering commercial center pylon signs, to advertising light boxes and more.
Plus, sign cabinets are one of the oldest forms of fabricated signage.
They were — and still are — simple to manufacture.
Whether you’re going to display your business name, advertise a special, service, product, or message, these types of signs can be the most effective way to do just that.
Because the best thing about sign cabinets is their low cost, especially when compared to individual fabricated letters.
Did you know a fabricated sign cabinet may be:
Simple one sided for a wall mount
Double sided like freestanding center signs
Triangle shaped visible from all three sides
Four sided for in-store advertising
Custom geometric shape
Contour cut Corp logo
Hanging along inside corridors
Large or small
Yet, single sided cabinet signs tend to be the most popular.
They are mainly used for retail store fronts in strip centers, malls, commercial centers, industrial parks, or on office buildings to identify the tenant’s name or business.
Smaller single-sided sign cabinets usually have easy-to-change slide-in and slide-out plexi or lexan sign face inserts.
Plus, cabinet sign inserts are an inexpensive way to rename a storefront.
Just slide out the old face and replace it with a new one — it’s that easy.
Whereas larger single-face illuminated sign cabinets tend to utilize flex faces because of their size.
A flex face may be a translucent or opaque flexible vinyl face that attaches to the sign cabinet using clips and tightening clamps.
See sample photos here of a typical pylon sign cabinet with a flex face, including before and after change-out pictures.
Plus, flex face marquees are recommended if the lighted cabinet sign is a huge freestanding pylon or a big box retailer with one of those giant logo elements on their storefront.
Why? Because flexible sign face inserts have fewer seam lines (if any) and are much lighter in weight than lexan or plexiglass inserts.
Therefore, as a rule of thumb, consider using flex sign faces if you’re looking for large sign cabinets.
It only makes sense to go with a large flex face insert when a sign cabinet is 40 to 200 feet in the air.
After all, if a wind storm hits, who wants to be around heavy plexiglass or lexan that could come loose?
Whereas other popular types of single sided sign cabinets are used for interior in-store or promotional advertising.
Plus, all sign face-insert types can be digitally printed in full color. Which means you can have lifelike photos, logos, and custom color background designs printed directly onto your sign face! How cool is that?
And as you probably noticed, sign cabinets are being utilized by almost every type of business. Small and large.
Go ahead, take a look around the next time when you’re out driving or when you’re visiting a business, store, venue, gallery, campus, or even a sporting complex.
You will probably see a cabinet sign wherever you go or look. That’s how popular they are.
For example, cabinet signs are being used for:
Simple store front ID
Entry way ID sign
Commercial center pylon
Interior wall mount advertising
Retail center tenant panels
Custom Corporate branding
On premise directional signage
Overhead informational
Four sided kiosks
Main plot map directory signage
In-store advertising
Restaurant menus
“You are here” location signs
Theme park way finding
Sport stadium or Arena seating section ID
A cabinet sign may be:
Custom shaped
Simple square or rectangle
Single or double sided
Back lit or non lit
Freestanding or wall mounted
Sign cabinets may be fabricated to order and to code in just about any shape, style, or design imaginable.
Most important is you probably want to have your cabinet sign last a long time… especially if your end use is for a large commercial or industrial complex where you’re exposed to inclement weather and the elements.
The same holds true for large pylon signs and other outdoor lighted sign cabinets. Who doesn’t want their sign to have a long useful life?
And the best way to make sure your sign cabinet will last a long time is to consider having it constructed from aluminum so it does not begin to rust in a few short years.
Now-a-days, modern sign fabricating systems allow for easy fabrication of aluminum sign cabinets.
Plus, did you know, your interior sign cabinets may be produced with a brass, silver, anodized bronze, or even a dull to shiny gold finish? Versus custom color matching paint or powder coating?
Modern technology makes it easy to produce just about any type of sign cabinet you desire.
And as you can probably see, from viewing a few of the sample photos on this page, how different types of uses can come into play.
Even if you just gained a few ideas of how sign cabinets are being utilized today, the sky’s the limit.
