Reflective Informational Signs

Aside from reflective safety signs and wayfinding displays, you may need to communicate other essential information to your staff, customers or even passers-by. Get a printed custom reflective aluminum sign to make sure the info is visible around the clock.

Custom Reflective Aluminum Signs by Shape

A custom reflective aluminum sign can take any shape. Even though you need to follow some strict guidelines in some cases, we offer full customization for your reflective sign displays. Whether you need aluminum reflective address signs or informative displays, we have all the tools and options to meet your requirements.

Rounded

Custom reflective signs with rounded corners are the most popular choice among our customers. Since the edges of reflective aluminum signs are sharp, we advise you to choose this option as well. It’s selected by default on our tool. The 90° angled corners will be smoothed and made round at a ¼"-½" radius.

Square/Rectangle

A square/rectangle cut custom reflective aluminum sign, as the name suggests, comes with 90° angles. Be aware that the corners will be a little sharp and may cause damage or harm. But you can always choose this option if you plan to mount it somewhere high and out of reach to avoid any unnecessary risks. Also take extra caution when mounting the sign.

Circle/Oval

The circle cut is also a widely requested option for custom reflective aluminum signs. The actual shape, circle or oval, will depend on the size ratio of your choice: the same vertical and horizontal dimensions will give you a perfect circle, while any difference between the two will give you an oval shape. The greater the difference, the more noticeable the oval.

Outline

To get a custom-shaped reflective aluminum sign, you’ll need to create the display in your desired shape and choose the outline cutting option. Please keep in mind that in case your design has separated parts, they’ll be connected to each other when cut. You need to order separate pieces of custom reflective sign for each part you want.

Overline

To add an additional border around your design, choose the overline cutting option. The border will have the initial material color which is white in the case of custom reflective aluminum signs. Keep in mind that the border size (¼"-½") will be included and not added to the size you specify during the design process. If you need the border of your reflective aluminum signs to have a specific color, design or pattern, you’ll need to include it in the design and choose the outline cutting option instead.

Reflective Signs Material

We use composite aluminum, also called dibond as the core of reflective signs. It consists of two metal panels with polyethylene foam sandwiched between. The sheeting we add to the faces is high-quality vinyl.

So, how does it work?

There are micro glass beads that reflect the light all over the vinyl surface. Also called retroreflective, the sheet sends the light back in the direction of the source instead of deflecting it in different directions. This feature provides the viewer with a clearer image.

Thanks to this material, you get your display “illuminated” without electricity or another energy source.

Reflective Aluminum Signs Printing

We use advanced full-color printing technology for custom reflective aluminum signs. The method we use isn’t based on cutting the adhesive reflective material and sticking it on the sign. Instead, we print your desired design, be it a photo or text, directly onto the material. This allows you to fully personalize your reflective signs. Create the graphics in our design tool from scratch, use our ready-made, customizable designs or upload an image you already have.

We offer two printing options for custom reflective aluminum signs:

Single-Sided Retroreflective Signs

We offer single-sided printing as the default option for reflective aluminum signs. While the first surface will hold the design of your choice, the back will only have the white finish of the aluminum and won’t be reflective. This option works great for wall-mounted displays like name panels.

Double-Sided Retroreflective Signs

To make the most of your display, you can select double-sided printing for reflective aluminum signs. Hang the products or mount them on a pole so that both of them are visible and double the effectiveness of your reflective signs. Your reflective number signs, for example, will be visible from both directions so it’ll be easier to find your address. By default, we’ll print the same design on both sides. If you need different designs to be printed on each side, please contact us.

There are also different ways to install these products. One way is with the help of standoffs.

*Please note that you should select the drilled holes and standoff options from the design tool before finalizing your order.

FAQ

What materials do you use when making reflective aluminum signs?

We use two high-quality materials to manufacture reflective signs: composite aluminum and engineer-grade reflective vinyl. The core consists of two layers of sturdy aluminum with a dense plastic sheet in the middle. We use engineer-grade reflective vinyl that is applied onto the aluminum to provide its reflectivity.

How does the reflective sign board work?

When light hits the reflective material in the dark, the vinyl mirrors it back and “illuminates” the product, rendering it visible.

Can I get reflective signs with a custom design and shape?

Yes! We have all the tools that allow us to print any graphics on the reflective board. From reflective real estate signs to logo displays, we print them all in full color to provide a professional appearance. You can also customize the shape on our design platform.

Do you offer shipping for reflective boards?

Yes, we offer shipping all across the United States and Canada.  Check our terms and policies page to see if this product qualifies for special offers or shipping discounts.
