Reflective Aluminum Signs
Reflective aluminum signs provide you with nighttime visibility even though they are not illuminated. As the name suggests, these metal signs reflect the light emanating from any source, be it a phone’s flashlight or a car’s headlights. Square Signs offers custom reflective aluminum signs with innovative printing capabilities. You can fully personalize your orders on our website and get any patterns or graphics printed onto the reflective material. We ship this product to any location within the US and Canada. Check our terms and policies page to see if it qualifies for special offers or shipping discounts.
Reflective Aluminum Sign 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.
- Single-Sided Retroreflective Signs: Printed on one side only, with the back left plain white aluminum. Ideal for wall-mounted displays like nameplates and directional panels.
- Double-Sided Retroreflective Signs: Printed on both sides for maximum visibility—perfect for hanging signs or pole-mounted displays. Great for house numbers, directional signs, or address markers. By default, both sides have the same design; for different artwork on each side, please contact us.
- Installation Options: Reflective aluminum signs can be installed using standoffs for a clean, elevated appearance.
*Note: Be sure to select the drilled holes and standoff options in the design tool before finalizing your order.
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.
Features
- 24/7 Visibility: Reflective vinyl bounces light back to its source, keeping your message legible in the dark, fog, or low-light conditions—no power required.
- Weather & UV Resistant: Built to endure outdoor elements, these signs resist fading, warping, and damage from sun, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
- Professional Full-Color Graphics: Printed directly on the reflective surface for crisp text, sharp details, and vibrant, lasting visuals.
- Engineer-Grade Reflectivity: Meets industry standards for visibility—perfect for safety, traffic, regulatory, and directional signage.
- Rigid Yet Lightweight Construction: Made from composite aluminum for strength without unnecessary bulk, making signs easy to mount or relocate.
- Multiple Printing Options: Choose between single- or double-sided printing. You can even request different designs on each side.
- Custom Shapes & Finishes: Select from standard square, rounded, outline, or overline cuts for a tailored, professional appearance.
- Easy Mounting & Transport: Add drilled holes or standoffs during checkout for hassle-free installation. All signs ship securely packaged and ready to display.
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: The most popular option for custom reflective signs. Sharp corners are smoothed to a ¼"-½" radius for a safer, more polished finish. This is the default selection in our design tool.
- Square/Rectangle: Traditional 90° angled corners offer a clean, classic look. While visually crisp, the sharp corners may pose a safety risk—best for elevated or out-of-reach mounting locations.
- Circle/Oval: Choose this option for rounded signs. The final shape depends on your selected dimensions—a perfect circle for equal width and height, or an oval when the measurements differ.
- Outline: Get your sign cut in the exact shape of your custom design. Note: if your artwork has disconnected elements, they’ll be joined unless ordered as separate pieces.
- Overline: Adds a white border (¼"-½") around the shape of your design. The border is included in the final dimensions. If you want a colored or patterned border, include it in your artwork and select the outline cut instead.

Reflective Aluminum Signs 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.
