How are fascia shop signs made?

If you are looking for a sign for your shop front, a fascia sign will be an excellent pick. This is a type of sign that sits along the top of the front and stretches for its entire width.

This means there is ample room for a shop name and logo, which is why so many retail businesses choose it. This blog will detail how fascia signage is made, in case it is something you are thinking about.

The design

If you approach a professional sign maker about a fascia sign, the first step will be to come up with a design. This usually takes the form of a collaboration between the sign maker and the client. The former will try to find out just what the latter needs and then apply that to the design.

Changes can be made along the way, following further discussions. No actual work on the manufacturing of the sign will begin until the client is completely happy with the design.

Making the fascia sign

The most common material used for fascia shop signs is aluminium composite. This is made up of two thin aluminium sheets and plastic beneath them. It is extremely hard-wearing and is also completely rust-proof – which is vital for an outdoor sign in the UK.

A panel of the required size and shape will be cut before the lettering and graphics are added. These are printed onto vinyl and then applied to the sign.
