Electrical cabinet signs in Gilbert, AZ, are the alternatives to channel letters. When a letter-only presentation simply is not to your liking, a box cabinet is an excellent option. Of course, since customization is a fundamental component for any signage solution’s success, there are numerous options open to you. The technicians at Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions have put together some information that explains the selection process in a little more detail.

Full Customization or Standard Display?

Do you want to reach for the ultimate in signage customization or are you happy with a standard presentation setup? Both production processes are geared toward a font and message display as well as your corporate color palette. The primary difference is the shape of the cabinet. A standard setup features an extruded sign cabinet. It displays as an aluminum rectangle that may be left open on both sides for double-face displays or closed on the back for building mounts.

On the other hand is the custom fabricated product that presents in a shape that may be in keeping with a logo’s form or the image of a niche style element. Because this kind of design calls for adjustments to light sources, mounting hardware, and of course facing presentations, it is considered a full customization. The extruded cabinet lets you choose from matching light source setups and facings. As a general rule of thumb, business clients have had excellent success with both display options.

What Does the Facing Say about Your Business?

There are three types of facings.

  1. Flat. A flat facing is little more than a sheet of translucent polycarbonate or acrylic. We install an imprinted vinyl overlay that features your information. When the built-in light sources turn on, your data is illuminated from behind.
  2. Pan face. Some business clients like to have their facing jut out over the edge of the cabinet. We refer to this as a pan face display. We can still install a vinyl overlay that shows off your information. The three-dimensional display looks attractive and can make your marker stand out.
  3. Embossed pan face. In this scenario, we discourage the installation of a vinyl overlay. Because your information is also embossed and therefore standing out with a slight 3D effect on the pan-faced front, our technicians suggest painting this type of product.

Do not worry if you grow weary of your facing. Because our full-service sign shop typically carries all the materials needed to exchange one facing for another one, we can easily reface the product. Doing so is also a good option after rebranding, if the sign gets damaged, or if you want to upgrade the signage without actually switching display options.
