Reflective Aluminum Signs

Yes. Aluminum is a type of metal, and if you’re looking for a metal sign, then one of our custom reflective aluminum signs can be just what you need. We also offer other metal signs including standard aluminum and brushed aluminum, so jump over to one of those product pages if you’re looking for other types of metal signs that are non-reflective.

With the proper care and placement, our reflective aluminum signs will last five or more years regardless of whether you use them indoor or outdoor.

If you know how to drill holes properly and you have the correct tools, then yes you can drill onto the sign you’re ordering. However, many of our customers choose to have us drill the holes onto their signs for them because it’s more convenient and it ends up looking cleaner and better as we use industrial grade equipment. Please note that any damages done to the sign upon drilling holes on your own voids any sign warranty or satisfaction guarantee that we offer.

The standard drilling we do is the four holes on a sign which means we drill one hole in each corner. If you need more than four holes, select the “Custom” option within the “Drilled Holes” dropdown and then make a note in the comments field that you’ll find on the checkout page. Custom drilled holes will cost extra as well.

Since aluminum is a metal, the edges are naturally sharp and may be dangerous. This is why our reflective aluminum signs default to rounded corners as this design is safer. If you're fine with sharper, pointed corners, simply deselect this option in the Online Designer. If you choose keep the rounded corners, note that these have a 1/4" or 1" radius, depending on what the hole that choose.

Not if you don’t want to. We’ve provided many templates that are commonly used for reflective signage for your convenience. But if you don’t see a template you like, feel free to also contact us so you can take advantage of our free design services from one of our designers. You can also upload one of your own files to our design tool to create your own custom reflective aluminum sign.

The aluminum portion of the sign we offer is 2 mm thick, which is approximately .078” thick. The vinyl overlay is paper-thin (.2 mm) and adds very little density to the sign. These signs are designed to be lightweight yet extremely durable. At the current time we do not offer additional thickness options.

Our reflective signs are thin and lightweight yet durable. Nonetheless, larger signs or smaller signs ordered in multiple quantities can be heavy when it comes to calculating shipping costs, while moving, and when hanging. For larger signs, we recommend more than one person to do the installation.

We offer free shipping on all orders over $99. This applies to orders that do not have a rigid sign with dimensions over 36" or for orders that requires freight shipping. Once this dimension threshold is hit (or in some cases the order contains multiple quantities), the order will be required to be shipped via freight which can result in high shipping costs. This is completely out of our control and should be factored into the decision-making process when buying a large rigid sign. Rest assured our competitive pricing, free design services, award-winning customer service, and fast turnaround often offset this extra shipping cost when compared with local sign companies.

Not necessarily. The vinyl overlay will be a smooth surface but will not have a glossy shine like you would expect with a photo print. The printed area on the vinyl will have a slightly matte finish due to the ink being printed but this will be far from feeling or looking like a textured wall or surface.
