A name, a favorite saying, or a few words can be the whole design. We make custom metal text signs and name plates with your wording cut directly through a steel shape. Choose a simple rectangle, circle, oval, shield, or another outline that suits the message, then make it yours with the layout, size, and powder coat finish.
Your wording, your shape
- Name plates for doors, desks, shops, workspaces, and personal displays.
- Short phrases, quotes, dates, and messages for home or business.
- Single-line or multi-line text inside a plain or decorative outline.
- Matching plates for a group, project, or event, with wording reviewed for each piece.
The lettering is cut through the metal, not printed or engraved on its surface. An open-cut design lets the background show through. A contrasting backing layer may be an option when the project calls for a more defined background or a second color. Fonts and spacing are adjusted for the size, and small connecting bridges may be needed to keep letter centers attached.
How to request a text sign
Send the exact wording and spelling, preferred shape, overall width and height, number of lines, quantity, and finish direction. Mention any font reference, mounting holes, backing preference, or deadline. Simple wording and larger lettering allow different possibilities than a long message on a small plate, so we check the layout before quoting the final design.
