The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

Explanation of The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

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. ​

Design
This is typically the most intimidating step in the process for many business owners, but it’s often the most exciting (aside from admiring the newly installed sign). When designing a monument sign, there’s more to it than layout and colors. You should consider the size of your space, the aesthetic of your complex, and the substrates and materials used to create your sign. ​
Picture
​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. 

Fabrication and Assembly
At Signs A La Carte, we have the in-house capabilities to execute and supervise each step in the fabrication and assembly process. This helps ensure that the sign we install at your business matches the specifications we agreed upon during the design phase. Fabrication begins once you’ve approved the design and are ready to move forward.
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. ​
After the footer or foundation of the monument sign are prepared to receive the sign, we secure the metal frame of the sign to the footer. The last step is to slide the acrylic faces with names or phone numbers at their place it should be.

 ​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.

I like how you mentioned that there’s more to it than color and when designing a monument sign. My uncle mentioned to me last night that he wants to start preplanning his funeral and asked me if I have any idea what is the best option to do in choosing the best monument. Thanks to this informative article and I'll be sure to tell him that we can consult a trusted monument supplier as they can answer all our inquiries.

The other day my parents mentioned that they are looking to have a custom signage made for their property as it will be easier for people to locate their home. I appreciate that this post reminded us to be mindful of the material, the size as well as the wording as we need to ensure that it is readable. I will definitely remember to pass these tips along to my parents when I meet them for dinner later this week.

It's great that you mentioned that it is important to consider what is the material used for your signage. Last night, my cousin told me that he's looking for countertop easel sign holders for their company's faster shipping production, and he asked if I had any recommendations. I'll be sure to inform him, thanks to this useful article, that consulting a trustworthy plastic displays and fixtures company will be much more beneficial because they can answer all of their inquiries.
