Dimensional Business Signs: A Comparison

Dimensional signs for your business

Attractive signs are made in one of three styles: Woodgrain, Engraved or Stepped. See also flat imprinted signs here.

Woodgrain has a textured finish like the exposed grain of wood which looks very good and is quite popular. 

Engraved has the main wording bevel-cut on a flat surface, and paint or in some cases, gold leaf is added. These are also good-looking signs.

Stepped signs have a flat surface, often with a raised border and raised lettering. These are the simplest of sign formats.


We use only the highest grades and density of HDU, a durable weather-impervious material made for long-lasting signs. For pricing, we need to custom quote this on a per-project basis.

This is perfect for outdoor walls, hanging signs and indoor reception walls, and will give you an average of 10-15 years outside and are considered "permanent" signs.
