​ Each and every time a person walks into your restaurant the first thing they will notice is the atmosphere. Making a long lasting impression will keep customers coming back for more. Having custom raised letters at the front of your restaurant will ensure that customers will know who you are. Do you have multiple locations? You are in luck! At Signs A La Carte we do customization and can create multiple versions of the same sign for each of your franchises. This is what we did with ‘Santucci”, a restaurant located in Downingtown. They came to us asking for multiple dimensional letter signage versions of their logo. 

e The Santucci "seal design" is made with an acrylic cut to the shape and painted with the same color of the letters to really make it pop. The laminated printed logo was applied on the acrylic. The edge of the seal and logo are matching. The letters are acrylic 3/8’’ painted. What makes working with Signs A La Carte so unique, is that we take pride in our service. We want to help you get your restaurant or business looking exactly the way you envision it. If you have a sign in mind that you want us to replicate, we have got your covered!

​The Aardvark Animal Hospital contacted Signs A La Carte looking for new dimensional letters for their office. The animal hospital is exceptional, compassionate, and proactive when it comes to their services. It was time to spruce up their office and showcase who they are with some new signage.
 
Our expert team is always ready to help our clients create a design that works best for them. The display consists of individual letters mounted to the wall. The client paints the wall with the color of their choosing then we use our brushed aluminum letters to create an elegant look. By doing this you will be saving money on the material. At first glance you would not be able to tell the difference between a high costing material and the low cost. Who doesn’t love saving money?

​Although acrylic and stainless steel signage looks fantastic, they happen to be the most expensive materials for producing a lobby sign. With that being said you don’t have to break the bank in order to get a sophisticated look. Here are a few other options of material to choose from:

• Aluminum- if your business is set on using a metal like stainless steel, copper, or brass but are looking for a cheaper option aluminum could be the right fit for you. aluminum is very versatileand at Signs A La Carte we can treat it to imitate the good looks of other metals. 
• Sign foam- if you are looking for something with a 3D element sign foam is the best choice. The thickness of the sign foam can be up to 3 inches. These are lightweight and can be mounted to the walls very easily. There will even be little to no damage to your walls with this type of installation. 
• Laminates- another choice you can choose from involves the installation of metal or acrylic laminates. We place a thin layer of the material on a more budget-friendly backing. This gives off the illusion of being made all the way through of a more expensive material.

​At Signs A La Carte we are able to walk you through the process of our signage we have to offer. Outdoor signs are crucial for your small business so passers-by are able to see who you are and what you have to offer. But you can not stop there. Indoors signs are almost just as important when it comes to showcasing your business. 

A rider sign is a great way to market your small business. A rider sign is an outdoor hanging sign that is put into the ground that allows many viewers to see it. This sign will draw attention from far away, just like how a “for sale” sign does. if you don't have the bracket, do not worry we can install it on the wall close to your door. 

​If you are looking for an indoor sign. We are able to accommodate you with an interior hanging sign. Having a light up sign will truly make your business pop and look modern. 
 
Make sure you check with your township to avoid any issues or fill out any paperwork before inquiring about an outdoor sign. 

​Vinyl is a great way to save money when just starting out with your business. Vinyl on the wall is a gorgeous smooth look for your company or brand. It is more affordable than dimensional letters or acrylic/ aluminum sheet + vinyl or raised letters. At Signs A La Carte we look working with vinyl because it saves space within the building so you have more room for your own products. 

​We can even put vinyl on your windows. Vinyl window decals are great because they can  be easily changed for any occasion including; the time of opening and closing or even the holiday. Window signs will make your small business look even better. Having window graphics can help the viewers indicate the mood your small business displays.

Wall Graphics- can add a pop on your plain wall. Using a mission statement or a positive quote can create a welcoming space. 
Window Graphics- inside a building, you may find different business, having your name and open hours on the entrance door can be a good idea.
Dimensional letters/ signs- are 3D letters made that are mounted individually to the wall. They can either be raised on clear spacers or mounted flush with the wall.
Mounted signs on standoff- are designed to be mounted with specialized hardware, which consists of a barrel, cap, and wall screw.

As a business owner, you’ve probably asked yourself what type of sign is best for your storefront. Nowadays, three-dimensional letters are almost everywhere—they have greater visibility, a professional appearance, and excellent versatility and illumination. Channel letters and dimensional letters are the best options for three-dimensional letters.
 
Signs A La Carte, your West Chester, PA sign company, will help you decide what storefront sign is best for your building. 

Channel Letters
Channel letters are one of the most commonly requested signs for clothing stores, restaurants, jewelry stores, offices, supermarkets, and even schools. These building signs can be customized to represent any logo, message, or idea. The decorative sign is made of polycarbonate and aluminum and customized to fit your requirements, including color, size, letters and numbers, fonts, and symbols. The appearance of the sign is unlike a traditional lightbox. Channel letters are a modern and chic way to promote your brand.
 
The most important detail of channel letter signs is the illumination. They’re generally face-lit or reverse halo styles. Face-lit channel letters project light onto the front of the letters, while reverse halo-style letters project light out the back of the letters at night and are mounted on a raceway. Lighted signs attract your potential customers’ attention as they pass by your business.
 
Fortunately, if one letter is damaged, it’s easy to replace. Signs A La Carte doesn’t have to replace the entire sign, which can be pricey.

​Dimensional Letters
Unlike channel letters, dimensional letters are illuminated by an exterior source that can be added later if desired. These exterior signs can be made with a variety of materials such as acrylic, painted foam, acrylic-faced foam, formed plastic or metal letters (brushed or unbrushed). They’re installed directly into the building’s facade. Signs A La Carte will guide you through the process of creating an eye-catching sign for your business.
 
Another advantage of dimensional letters is their versatility. They can be used inside the building or incorporated into a monument sign or a post and panel sign. 

​What’s Best for My Business?
Want to attract attention to your sign at night? Channel letters are your best option. If your business doesn’t require light at night, dimensional letters would be a better choice. At Signs A La Carte, we can help you select and install your dream sign on the front of your building. Both signs are great for promoting your brand.
 
Still unsure which letters to choose? All photos on this page, taken from one of the last jobs we completed, show the difference between channel letters, dimensional letters and other jobs we can do.
 
If you’re a new business owner or want to update your existing exterior signage, we can work with you to create a sign that suits your needs. Call Signs A La Carte at 484-464-0111.

Illuminated Storefront Signs

Different material for Dimentional Letters

Have you seen the beautiful shopping center monument sign in Limerick, PA? Signs A La Carte was the proud manufacturer and installer. ​

​ 
We handled every step in the process to draw attention to the new shopping center coming soon. From pieces of wood and electrical wire, we designed and mounted the illuminated monument. 

Ever wonder how a monument sign is made? Below we’ve included the steps in the sign-making process, including design, fabrication and assembly, and installation. ​

​Your monument sign will include both the actual signage and the masonry that helps support the sign’s base. You have options for each component. Business owners will often match their sign to the architecture of their building. Stone, aluminum, wood, acrylic, and other metals are the materials we most frequently use.
 
Before you get too far in the design process, it’s a good idea to check with your municipality to find out what your city code allows. If you are creating your first monument sign, you’ll be required to secure a permit for your sign. 

Mounting the Sign
Assuming all permits have been secured, it’s time to install your sign! Monument signs should be placed perpendicularly to the street. To help ensure your sign is easy to read, make sure you take shadows and sunlight into consideration when placing your sign. Signs A La Carte will guide you through the process. We have all of the tools and equipment needed to securely install your sign. ​

 ​And voila! Your sign is installed and ready to attract visitors to your business.
 
Why Install or Refresh a Monument Sign?
Retailers spend a lot of money to be in high-traffic shopping malls. However, old, unattractive monument faces—or worse, no monument sign at all—are even more costly. Signs A La Carte fabricates and installs shopping mall signs to increase traffic and sales.
 
Many smart retailers are improving their signage for the new year! If you are looking for a new signage solution, Signs A La Carte can help you enhance your ideas or start from scratch. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about creating your monument sign or any kind of signs you may need.
