Which sign for which job
| The job | What usually works | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Name on the building or storefront | Rigid sign in aluminum composite | The default for a permanent outdoor sign: it stays flat and will not rust. |
| Storefront glass | Hours, lettering, frosted privacy film or one-way perforated graphics. | |
| Sidewalk foot traffic and daily specials | Changeable inserts on both sides, for pavement where you cannot stake a sign. | |
| A sale, grand opening or event | Flags grab attention from the road. Check your city’s banner rules first. | |
| Job sites, open houses and campaigns | Coroplast on wire H-stakes, made for a season or two outdoors. | |
| Parking lot and property rules | Reserved, accessible, no parking and tow-away signs. Reflective faces read in headlights. | |
| Restrooms, room numbers and suites | Raised characters and Grade 2 braille, built to the section 703 specifications. | |
| Reception wall or lobby | Your logo in acrylic, metal, PVC or steel, laid out to scale for your wall. | |
| Dedications, donors and memorials | Cast bronze, cast aluminum or etched metal, with help on the wording. | |
| Trade shows and events | Sets up in minutes and travels easy. | |
| Downtown streets, campuses and parks | A double-sided series designed to the spec your city gives you. | |
| Trucks, trailers and equipment | Magnets peel off in seconds. Lettering and spot graphics are the longer-term option. |

From idea to a sign on the wall
- Tell us where it goes. A photo of the wall, window or spot, and what the sign has to say.
Size it to the distance. We work out the letter height, or try the letter height calculator and the sign viewing distance calculator yourself.
Check the permit. Permanent exterior signs often need one. Our Wright County and West Metro permit guides show who to ask.
- Approve one proof showing the layout, the size and the material, before anything is made.
- It is made and delivered, finished and ready to put up.
Production time: most printed signs, banners and flags run a few business days after proof approval, and we confirm the date with your quote. Made-to-order pieces such as ADA signs, plaques and dimensional letters depend on the material, and we confirm a ship date with your proof.
Signs for Buffalo and nearby towns
The studio is in Buffalo, and we make signs for businesses across Wright County, the I-94 corridor, the West Metro and Central Minnesota. City sign rules differ from town to town, so start with your town’s page or the sign and banner rules before a temporary banner goes up.
Custom sign FAQ
Yard and campaign signs, vinyl and pole banners, rigid signs, aluminum parking and property signs, ADA and braille signs, lobby signs and dimensional letters, plaques, A-frames, feather flags, window and wall graphics, retractable banners, trade show displays, event tents and magnetic signs. Every one is designed in-house and proofed before it is made.
We install window graphics and wall graphics on site, and vehicle lettering and spot graphics go on at your place of business. Quick lettering and decals can go on outdoors, weather permitting. More involved graphics need a covered, climate controlled shop. Rigid, metal, ADA and lobby signs and plaques arrive finished and ready to mount, made to go up without a sign installer, and banners come hemmed and grommeted. We do not install permanent building signage, and we do not file sign permits.
Often, for a permanent exterior sign, and many cities also limit temporary banners. Buffalo and the other Wright County cities each set their own limits on size, height and placement, and so do the West Metro cities. Our permit guides show who to ask. Bring us whatever the city tells you and we build the sign to that spec.
Big enough to read from where people will see it. The distance and the speed people pass at decide the letter height, so a sign along a highway needs far bigger letters than one on a lobby wall. Our letter height calculator and sign viewing distance calculator get you close, and we confirm the size on your proof.
For a permanent outdoor sign, aluminum composite is the default: it stays flat and will not rust. Solid aluminum suits parking and regulatory signs. Coroplast is right for yard signs that only need a season or two. Keep PVC indoors or under cover. We match the material to where the sign lives and how long it has to last.
It depends on the size, the material and the quantity, so we quote each sign on its own. Send us the details and we will send a free quote, usually within one business day.
