Signage
External business signs present your brand to the outside world and help customers identify your location quickly and clearly. Positioned on building façades, shopfronts, and entrances, they provide visibility, recognition, and first impressions before anyone steps inside. At Grafiscape, we design, manufacture, and install external business signage that balances durability, clarity, and architectural integration.
Folded Tray Signs
Tray signs are fabricated sign panels with folded edges that create a rigid, box-like structure. This construction provides strength and depth while keeping the face surface clean and uninterrupted for graphics or lettering. Often used on shopfronts and building façades, tray signs offer a durable and structured solution that works well with cut vinyl, applied graphics, or built-up lettering.
Brushed Metal Plaques
Brushed metal and aluminium plaques provide a refined and durable signage solution for building identification and professional environments. Produced from aluminium or metal composite panels with brushed finishes, they offer a clean, understated appearance that works well for offices, commercial buildings, and entrances. Graphics and lettering can be applied using vinyl, engraving, or printed methods to ensure clear and long-lasting information display.
Projecting signs
Projecting signs extend perpendicular from the building façade, making them visible from multiple directions along streets and walkways. This format is particularly effective for shopfronts and entrances where signage needs to be seen from a distance or by passing foot traffic. Constructed using durable materials and secure brackets, projecting signs provide clear identification while complementing the architecture of the building.
Illuminated Sign Letters
Illuminated sign letters use internal LED lighting to ensure business names and logos remain clearly visible day and night. Built as individual 3D letters, they create depth and presence on building façades while maintaining strong legibility from a distance. Suitable for shopfronts, offices, and commercial buildings, illuminated lettering provides a durable signage solution that combines visibility with a refined architectural appearance.
Acrylic Business Signs
Acrylic Business Signs
Acrylic business signs offer a clean and contemporary way to display company names, logos, and information on building façades and entrances. Manufactured from durable acrylic panels, they provide a smooth, precise surface for printed graphics, vinyl lettering, or raised elements. Often mounted with stand-offs to create subtle depth, acrylic signs deliver clear visibility while maintaining a modern architectural finish suitable for offices, retail, and commercial buildings.
Wall lettering
Wall lettering uses individually cut letters to display business names, logos, or key information directly on building façades. Produced from materials such as acrylic, metal, or composite panels, the letters create depth and clear visibility while maintaining a clean architectural appearance. This format is widely used for offices, shopfronts, and commercial buildings where signage needs to feel integrated with the structure rather than mounted as a panel.
Window Graphics
Window graphics use printed or cut vinyl applied directly to glass to display branding, information, or promotional messaging. They are commonly used on shopfronts and commercial premises to increase visibility, communicate services, and make use of otherwise unused glass surfaces. Window graphics can range from subtle branding to full window coverage, providing a flexible solution that maintains natural light while strengthening street presence.
External business signs help customers identify your location quickly while reinforcing brand presence on the street. When designed and installed correctly, they improve visibility, communicate professionalism, and integrate with the building façade rather than appearing as an afterthought.
