Embossed Metal Signs

Embossing is a specialized technique that adds depth to custom embossed metal signs. A top and bottom die are used to impress characters, messages, or images onto the surface to create a visually striking and tactile embossed metal sign. The height of the embossed elements, the overall level of relief and the final appearance are determined through the precise application of pressure during the process.

As a skilled embossed metal sign manufacturer, we’re often asked to use this method to make advertising signs that stand out. In the visually crowded world we live in, they offer a unique and effective way to get brands and messages noticed. With so many screens and billboards competing for attention, the distinctive profiles and bold colours of embossed metal signs sidesteps them all. Embossed metal signs, where versatility and value meet vivacious visuals!

Domed Advertising Metal Signs

When you need to make a place-name or promotion really ‘pop’, domed advertising metal signs are the perfect choice. Doming is a metalworking method where a flat metal sheet or individual blank is transformed into a concave profile using specialized tools, including a doming block (or die) and punch set. A skilled worker uses them to carefully shape the metal into this distinctive, convex shape. The doming process instantly gives advertising metal signs an impression of substance that flat advertising signs can only dream of. Domed signs are pure attention-seekers, so, any time your message needs an extra dash of elegance, choose the dome.

Printing Methods for Metal Advertising Signs

We offer various printing options to suit different applications. Screen printing gives your custom printed metal signs overall durability. Offset printing makes bulk orders more economical and when you need custom items, digital printing has the versatility to step in. Each method offers its own unique advantages, so whatever your use and quantity requirements, we have a solution to match.

Screen printing

Screen printing is ideal for bulk production (starting from 100 pieces) and is often used for ceramic colours. Known for its great weather resistance and colour stability, screen printing is particularly effective for long-term outdoor promotions. We use this method with our enamel advertising signs, which we kiln-fire to add more durability.

Offset printing

Offset printing of metal signs becomes much more cost-efficient at higher quantities (above 500 units) due to the cost of initial setup, so the larger the order, the lower the cost per unit. This is why we don’t do smaller print runs because the setup costs would be prohibitively expensive.

Digital printing

Digital printing is an excellent choice for custom printed metal signs, especially on aluminium, starting from 100 pieces. This method ensures vibrant colours and customizable motifs, making it ideal for indoor use and for medium-term outdoor advertising.

Feeling unsure about the best printing solution for your project? We’re here to guide you. Whether you’re considering all the options or seeking advice on the ideal print for your metal advertising signs, we’ve got you covered. Our team is ready to provide personalized recommendations based on your unique needs. Feel free to get in touch, and together, we’ll transform your vision into a remarkable reality!
