Elevate Your Space with Custom Signage and Frames

A custom acrylic sign is fabricated from clear, frosted, colored or printed acrylic and cut to a specific size or shape. Acrylic creates a clean, modern appearance for lobby branding, office identification, directories, retail displays and interior wayfinding.

Custom sign frames and wall signs are fabricated display systems designed around a specific message, graphic, interior style or branding standard. They can hold permanent graphics or replaceable inserts for directories, menus, notices, promotions, identification and wayfinding.

Custom framed signs are used in offices, healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants, retail stores, apartment buildings, hotels and public facilities. Common applications include directories, menu boards, room information, recognition displays, regulations and promotional graphics.

A framed sign uses a visible border or enclosure that supports and protects the graphic, while a frameless sign creates a cleaner panel-like appearance. The better choice depends on the desired style, how often content changes, the sign material and the mounting surface.

Yes. There are several wood look options available, including high quality printed vinyl, textured laminates, and digitally printed materials that closely mimic the appearance of real wood. Carved HDU foam is another popular option that can be shaped and painted to replicate natural wood grain. These alternatives offer the same rustic or natural aesthetic while being more durable, weather resistant, and cost effective than actual wood.

Listings may use replaceable engraved strips, printed inserts, sliding panels, magnetic components or individual letters. The best system depends on how often content changes, who will make the updates and the desired visual style.

Yes. Frames can be designed with slide-in panels, snap-open edges, removable covers, magnetic components or access doors. The update method should match the insert material, change frequency and level of security required.

Frames can display printed paper, rigid graphics, acrylic panels, engraved inserts, dimensional elements, photographs, maps, menus and regulatory information. The frame depth and access method are designed around the intended content.

Yes. Custom fabrication allows the frame dimensions, profile, depth and shape to be tailored to the available wall space and graphic content. Oversized, narrow, curved or multi-panel arrangements can be developed when standard frames do not fit the application.

Yes. Modular directories use interchangeable strips, panels or inserts so individual listings can be replaced without remaking the entire sign. They are a practical choice for properties with tenant, department or personnel changes.

Changeable directories can be fabricated from aluminum, acrylic, engraved plastic, laminate, printed graphics and custom frame systems. Materials are selected based on update frequency, durability, interior design and the level of tamper resistance needed.

Yes. New frames can be designed to coordinate with existing colors, finishes, typography, mounting details and architectural elements. Samples, photos and measurements of the current signs help reproduce a consistent appearance.

Acrylic signs can be installed with decorative standoffs, concealed studs, adhesive mounting systems, screws or custom frames. The best mounting method depends on the sign’s weight, wall material, desired appearance and whether the sign may need future updates.

Office directories can use acrylic, aluminum, engraved plastic, printed graphics, dimensional elements, wood-look finishes and custom frames. Materials should be selected for readability, expected update frequency, daily wear and compatibility with the building interior.

Free-standing directories can combine aluminum, steel, acrylic, glass-like panels, wood-look finishes, laminates, printed graphics and dimensional branding. Materials should suit the lobby design while resisting fingerprints, impacts and everyday wear.

Yes. A framed sign can include printed logos, routed shapes, layered acrylic, dimensional lettering or branded header panels. These elements help turn a functional display into a coordinated part of the interior environment.

Interior wayfinding signs can be fabricated from acrylic, aluminum, photopolymer, engraved plastic, wood, glass and other architectural materials. Colors, typography, icons, finishes and mounting systems can be customized to match the building and brand while maintaining readability and accessibility.

Yes. Some frames can incorporate edge lighting, backlighting or integrated LEDs when illumination improves visibility or presentation. The design must account for the graphic material, frame depth, electrical access and future maintenance.

Yes. Locking access doors, concealed fasteners, covered inserts and durable glazing can discourage unauthorized changes and protect displayed content. Tamper-resistant construction is useful in schools, healthcare settings, public buildings and unsupervised corridors.

Mounting options include concealed cleats, screws, anchors, standoffs, adhesive systems and specialized brackets. The correct method depends on the frame’s weight, wall construction, expected updates and whether the sign may need to be removed later.

Yes. Locking frames, covered inserts, concealed fasteners and restricted-access panels can help prevent unauthorized changes or damage. The appropriate level of security depends on whether the directory is in a supervised lobby, public corridor or high-traffic facility.

Yes. Frames can be incorporated into an accessible sign system, but required tactile characters, Braille, contrast, mounting location and clear-space rules must be handled correctly. Decorative frames should support, not interfere with, the readability and accessibility of required sign content.

Pricing depends on the frame size, material, finish, graphic type, access mechanism, quantity and installation conditions. Lighting, dimensional branding, locking hardware and unusual custom shapes can increase the project cost.

Expansion is possible when the original directory was designed with spare capacity or a modular panel system. If the layout is already full, Martino Signs can assess whether to add a coordinated section, replace the listing area or redesign the directory.

Often, yes. If the frame is in good condition and the new design fits its dimensions and access system, the inserts or face panels may be replaced while the structure remains in place. Martino Signs can inspect the frame and determine whether reuse will look intentional and perform reliably.

Useful information includes the sign’s purpose, content, approximate dimensions, update frequency, preferred style, quantity and installation location. Photos and measurements of the wall, along with brand files and examples of existing signs, help define an accurate design and quote.
