Carved Sign

Base-Relief Sign

Routed signs from Sign & Awning Systems feature letters, logos and graphics that are cut and carved with bleeding edge hardware and software.

Carved Signs & Base-Relief Signs

A carved sign is recessed or indented and the design sits below the surface of the signage material. Base-relief signs are just the opposite. They are created by routing away the background to make the design stand out. They can give you an outdoorsy, nautical or western character.

With either technique, you benefit from dimensionality. Unlike two-dimensional signs that feature only height and width, carved or routed signs add an element of depth. 3D signs are naturally more eye-catching and aesthetically appealing than flat alternatives.

Non-Lit Letters & Sign Shapes

Ever wonder how the professionals make perfectly cut individual sign letters? Using CNC routed lettering on your sign is a great way to turn heads and make an impact. Custom routed sign letters offer unlimited advantages over buying individual letters off the shelf. Our in-house CNC allows for any specific size, shape, material, thickness or typeface you desire for your project.

After cutting your letter, we offer any finishing option you like, including a variety of metals and even Pantone Color Matches in our commercial grade sign enamels.
