PICK YOUR METAL
Printed Dibond signs
Dibond is a sheet of plastic core between two thin layers of aluminum. We print your design on it directly. It stays flat, stays light, and works well for business signs indoors and out.
Laser cut metal signs
Cut out shapes, letters and logos are made through a partner shop. We handle the quote and the order, so you deal with one place. Ask us what looks right for your design.
Aluminum signs with mounting
Metal business signs can mount flat to a wall, on posts, or with standoff hardware. Tell us where the sign goes and how it will hang, and we will plan it with you.
What is a Dibond sign?
Dibond is the brand name many people use for aluminum composite panel. It has two thin aluminum skins bonded to a solid core. The result is flat, stiff and much lighter than a solid metal sheet.
That makes aluminum composite signs easy to hang and easy to carry. The surface takes a sharp, full color print, so logos, photos and fine text look clean. It will not warp the way wood can, and it does not rust. It is a solid pick for signs that live outside.
Because Dibond is a panel and not a thick slab, it also suits larger sizes without becoming too heavy. Many shops use it for storefront signs, office name signs and wayfinding. If you need a very thick or heavy sign, ask us and we will talk through the choices.
- Flat, smooth face for crisp printing
- Light enough for simple mounting
- Does not rust like steel
- Good for indoor and outdoor use
Are custom metal signs good for outdoor use?
Yes. Custom metal signs outdoor are a smart choice in the Pacific Northwest. We get long stretches of rain, and wet weather ruins paper, foam and thin plastic fast. Aluminum faces do not soak up water.
Sun fade is the other concern. Ask about finish options when you request a quote, and tell us if the sign gets direct sun all day. Good mounting matters too. A sign that is fixed well will stay straight through wind and storms. See our outdoor business signs page for more on weatherproof choices.
Wind, rain and sun all matter on the Vancouver side of the river and across the Portland area. Mild winters still bring lots of moisture. Metal signs shrug that off better than wood or foam. Keep the edges sealed and the mounting solid, and the sign should keep looking sharp.
How much do custom aluminum signs cost?
Price depends on size, thickness, how many signs you order, the finish and any cut shapes. A plain rectangle costs less than a custom shape. Larger signs use more material and cost more.
As a typical range, small printed metal signs can start around the price of a nice dinner, and large signs run into the hundreds. Your quote depends on size, quantity and material. If you want laser cut work, the partner shop adds its own cost, and we will show it in one clear quote. For exact metal sign pricing, text 360.838.6919 with your size and quantity.
Think about the look you want, too. A clean printed logo on a white panel looks modern and simple. A cut metal shape looks bold and has a handmade feel. Some customers use both, with a printed main sign and a smaller cut accent. We can quote each and help you compare.
- Size and thickness
- Quantity, since more signs lowers the cost each
- Rectangle versus cut shape
- Mounting hardware
YOUR QUOTE.
How do I order custom metal signs with my logo?
Start with the quote form. Tell us the size you want, how many, and where the sign goes. Attach your logo if you have one. If you do not have art files, say so and we will talk through what we can work with.
Once you approve the quote and the layout, we print or send the job out for cutting. We serve Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, Washougal and the Portland metro. Shops, offices, clinics and job site offices all order metal business signs from us.
If you are ordering for more than one location, tell us. A matching set of signs for several offices or job sites can be quoted together, which often helps the price. If you need a proof of the layout before anything is made, say so when you send your request.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK.
What is the difference between Dibond and solid aluminum?
Dibond is a sandwich of two aluminum skins around a plastic core. Solid aluminum is metal all the way through. Dibond is lighter and stays flat, which is why many business signs use it.
Do you print Dibond signs yourselves?
Yes. Printed Dibond signs are done directly. Laser cut metal work is made through a partner shop, and we manage that order for you.
Can I get a sign with a custom shape?
Often yes. Shapes like a logo outline or cut out letters are laser cut. Send us the design and we will tell you what is possible and quote it.
Will a metal sign last outside?
Aluminum faces handle rain well and do not rust. How long a sign looks its best depends on sun, mounting and finish. Tell us where it will hang and we will advise you.
How do I get a price?
