Did you know a fabricated sign cabinet maybe:

• Simple one sided for a wall mount
• Doubled sided like freestanding center signs
• Triangle shaped visible from all three sides
• Four sided for in-store advertising
• Custom geometric shape
• Contour cut Corp logo
• Hanging along inside corridors
• Large or small

Yet, single sided cabinet signs tend to be the most popular.

They are mainly used for retail store fronts in strip centers, malls, commercial centers, industrial parks or on office buildings to identify the tenants name or business.

Notice how large pylon signs are made from stacked sign cabinets before new lighting and flex faces are added

Smaller singe sided sign cabinets usually have easy to change out slide-in and slide-out plexi or lexan sign face inserts.

Plus, cabinet sign inserts are an inexpensive way to rename a store front. Just slide-out the old face and replace with a new one. It’s that easy.

Whereas larger single face illuminated sign cabinets tend to utilize flex faces because of their size.

A flex face maybe a translucent or opaque flexible vinyl face that attaches to the sign cabinet using clips and tightening clamps.

See sample photos here of a typical pylon sign cabinet with a flex face. See the before and after change out pics.

Plus, flex face marquees are recommended if the lighted cabinet sign is a huge freestanding pylon or a big box retailer with one of those giant logo elements on their store front.

Why? Because flexible sign face inserts will have less seam-lines (if any) and they are a lot lighter in weight than lexan or plexiglass inserts.

This after pic shows how quick and easy a new flex face maybe added to a pylon sign. Looking good.

Therefore, as a rule of thumb, consider using flex sign faces if your looking for large sign cabinets.

It only makes sense to go with a large flex face insert when a sign cabinet is 40 to 200 feet in the air.

After all, if a wind storm hits, who wants to be around heavy plexiglass or lexan that could come loose?

Whereas other popular types of single sided sign cabinets are used for interior in-store or promotional advertising.

Plus, all sign face-insert types can be digitally printed in full color. Which means you can have life like photos, logos and custom color background designs printed directly onto your sign face! How cool is that?

And as you probably noticed, sign cabinets are being utilized by almost every type of business. Small and large.

Go ahead, take a look around the next time when you’re out driving or when you’re visiting a business, store, venue, gallery, campus or even a sporting complex.
