Guide to Illuminated Wall Cabinet Signs

Signs of a Successful Business


Wall Sign CabinetsWall Cabinet Signs are also known as Can Signs or Box Signs.

On the detail pages that follow (¬tabs to left) discover how we manufacture each wall cabinet sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, structural-steel frames, rust-proof metal, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics or strong flexible-face materials, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.  All our signs include these many hidden features, critically important to you but often ignored by competitors so they can make more money. We even add self-cleaning properties.

NewCabinet sign LED first-surface lighting is a hands-down winner.  Signs Manufacturing™ incorporates a patent pending design into our unique new-look concept.  Visit our "Lighting Choices" tab with its own "LED" tab.

We champion energy-saving signs solutions that save our customers money while protecting our environment.  Explore our "Lighting Choices" tab with its own "Energy Savings" tab.

Photos of many varied sign designs are interspersed on the detail pages tabbed on the left.

The Signs Manufacturing On-Location Sales Team's Personalized Service


No matter what types of signs you are interested in, our sales team, consisting of 11 highly-trained individuals, is at your beck and call.

Let us meet with you in your office, or at your new signs location, or home, or anywhere.

You will probably have a firm quotation for what you want during our meeting; certainly no more than a day later.
There are 19 questions you must have answers to before investing in signs. Questions not about the signs themselves, but about how the signs will be perceived, and how long they will take to pay for themselves. Our sales team will bring you a COMPLIMENTARY PROFESSIONAL MARKET SURVEY of your new signage locations. Click on the "Sign Market Research" tab to the left for details.

Visit Our Unique Sign Lighting Laboratory and Demonstration Showroom with LED Video Displays


Unique in the entire sign industry, Signs Manufacturing™ built an 85’ by 50’ (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture.

The Laboratory is open to the public, for FREE, adding an LED Video Display Showroom because we realized how important one would be to consumers.

If you are considering purchasing an LED Video Display or Digital LED Message Center sign this exclusive opportunity will be particularly important.  You must determine what type of sign, and which LED spacing is best, so that your sign will be successful, considering how you will use it.

Therefore:

How will shadows affect my sign's readability during the day?  Should the wall behind my sign be light or dark colored?  Would a different type of sign look better on my brick wall?  Should I consider a routed sign face with push-through letters?

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign.  I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong.  My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings.  It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom.  If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster.  I would have wasted a lot of money."

Fraud Protection


"After being ripped-off by one sign company, who took my several-thousand-dollar deposit but never delivered my sign, I was nervous.  I'm sure glad I met you guys!"

Paul Lewis, Jubilee Mortgage

Signs Manufacturing™ is insured, registered, licensed and bonded per all City and State regulations, and even carries product liability insurance to protect our customers, and their customers, which is very rare among sign companies.

We even offer our customers free coverage on a $2,000,000 insurance policy providing Deposit Insurance if we were to default.

Visit our "Cost" tab on the "Sign Types" page for details on all of the above.

We've got you covered!

"...I had to hound Vital ***** (a sign broker) for weeks and weeks, then I had to call ******** (the manufacturer) to finally get a hold of Vital *****.  I thought Vital ***** was taking my deposit money and running.  When he asked for the second deposit I was kind of hesitant based on my experience with him.  I did some research on Vital ***** and there were judgments in Dallas County, civil judgments for Vital ***** taking money and not putting up a sign!  But the manufacturer said I had to deal with him, and he already had a great deal of my money.

The installation company he subcontracted with, City *****, finally did show up and after giving them another $30,000 the sign was installed but City ***** didn't pay Vital *****, I guess, his "fair cut" of it.

Vital ***** was initially mad at City ***** and then he was mad at me, so he came and took the controller out of the sign so now it doesn't even work!  I tried to go back to ******** (the manufacturer), and gave them all of the documentation and they said it's between me and Vital *****, they won't do anything about it.  I'm never dealing any way but directly with a manufacturer again!"

Mr. Sinkler, Freedom Wash

Why Buy Factory-Direct, from a State-Licensed Company?


TURN-KEY  Design, Manufacturing, Installation, and Service

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker or a Sign Store?)

Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?)  Don't you think you would get the car that made him the most?

Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy?

Why would a sign dealer (sign broker or sign store) be any different?  Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can.

You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed.  It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller's profit goals.  What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need?

Believing "...a sign is a sign" gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac.  Remember the Yugo?  They didn't last very long, either.

Also, most sign dealers, sign brokers and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign.  Ask to see their license.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also.  A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

Now, who provides the warranty?  The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone?  If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty?  Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit?  Is the sign even safe?

As a large, both UL and ETL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs.  Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our business.  We have to care, particularly with our LIFETIME* warranty.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally install and service electrical signs through-out Texas go to http://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box.  If they are not licensed they can not.

So someone can sell you signs and not be licensed to install or service them.  You may have to have this done.  But unless the electrical signs you buy are "listed" (U.L. usually) they won't be allowed to be installed in Texas, a State of Texas Consumer Protection Safety Law designed to insure that signs are safe to use, with a few local city ordinance exceptions.  It is not illegal to sell them to you, however. Buy carefully.

"I had a ****-a-**** (sign company) right across the street … that store's out of business now … I found out they hired some other company to build and install our sign and they did a really #@%&&$ job, the thing has never lit right.  ****-a-**** Corporate won't do anything, they say the closed store was an independent franchise, and the sign builder/installer won't fix it, they say we weren't their customer.  I need you to come out, tell me what it will cost to get the thing working properly and get it fixed."

Chris Jennings, Jimmy Johns

Summary - Wall Cabinet Signs In a Nutshell


The Special Features and Benefits of Signs Manufacturing Corporation's Wall Cabinet Signs

Lasting Quality - Your Sign will ALWAYS look good to potential customers

 

Special Features and Benefits of doing business with Signs Manufacturing™

Construction


FREE ESTIMATESFor strength, durability, and appearance your illuminated signs will be constructed of aluminum (#3003, H14 - not the "soft" aluminum used by some) covering a welded structural-steel inner frame.

Large metal areas will be reinforced to prevent "oil-canning".

The structural-steel frame inside the sign is separately painted before the skins are installed; important to prevent rust stains later.

Certified Welding


We employ Certified Welders.  Horizontal, vertical, and overhead.

We are virtually the only sign company in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex employing certified welders.

The Importance of Sign Thickness


The thickness of a sign does more than impart a more prominent importance to a sign, it affects the graphics.

The minimum allowable thickness of a sign depends on the type of internal lighting and the type and size of the sign face.

Lighting and sign face types will be discussed later.Danbury, Conneticut

The larger the sign face the thicker a properly made sign cabinet must be.

It is very important that the sign be thick enough that the lighting in the sign does not show as "hot spots" or "zebra striping" on the face of your sign.  Either of these makes your sign look "cheap" no matter what its cost.  In some instances these can be so bad that a sign is not readable at night.  You've seen them.

All of this makes the use of extruded aluminum sign frames problematic in building a quality sign, to say nothing about a strong sign (no structural steel inner frame) since extrusions are only available for limited cabinet depths; however some sign companies continue to attempt to do so.signs Manufacturing™ does not use extruded cabinets precisely for these reasons.

We calculate what is required to make a proper and impressive sign for you, and then we build it.

It is more expensive to do the job right, but what is the value of a "cheap" sign that gives potential customers a negative impression of your business?

The Importance of Retainer Width


Equally important to the appearance of the sign is the width of the retainer (the ring of metal around the sign face that covers the mechanism that holds the sign face in the cabinet.)

This border plays a very important role in the apparent quality of your sign, and both size and color must be considered in the overall design.

This makes the use of pre-made extruded aluminum sign frames undesirable.

Tabs to other components of a cabinet sign are listed down the left side of this page.

Be sure to select the link "Sign Buyer's Check List" to the left.  This is a tool for your use to insure that quotations you receive are for the same sign!  Insist that your bidders check-mark each line, then sign the document when they give you their quote.

Seeing is believing!

Don't buy a sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and compare real signs.

Our Showrooms now contain over $750,000 in business sign ideas alone, not to mention signs for churches and schools! We also have an interactive storefront that will allow you to see what effect multiple sign ideas have on your street presence.

"I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign.  I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong.  My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings.  It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom.  If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster.  I would have wasted a lot of money." - Cecil Drake, Drake Communications

Fraud Protection


"After being ripped-off by one sign company, who took my several-thousand-dollar deposit but never delivered my sign, I was nervous.  I'm sure glad I met you guys!" - Paul Lewis, Jubilee Mortgage

Signs Manufacturing™ is insured, registered, licensed and bonded per all City and State regulations, and even carries product liability insurance to protect our customers, and their customers, which is very rare among sign companies.

We even offer our customers free coverage on a $2,000,000 insurance policy providing Deposit Insurance if we were to default.

Visit our "Cost" tab on the "Sign Types" page for details on all of the above.

We've got you covered!

"...I had to hound Vital ***** (a Car Wrap company) for weeks and weeks, then I had to call ******** (the manufacturer) to finally get a hold of Vital *****.  I thought Vital ***** was taking my deposit money and running.  When he asked for the second deposit I was kind of hesitant based on my experience with him.  I did some research on Vital ***** and there were judgments in Dallas County, civil judgments for Vital ***** taking money and not putting up a sign!  But the manufacturer said I had to deal with him, and he already had a great deal of my money.

The installation company he subcontracted with, City *****, finally did show up and after giving them another $30,000 the sign was installed but City ***** didn't pay Vital *****, I guess, his "fair cut" of it.

Vital ***** was initially mad at City ***** and then he was mad at me, so he came and took the controller out of the sign so now it doesn't even work!  I tried to go back to ******** (the manufacturer), and gave them all of the documentation and they said it's between me and Vital *****, they won't do anything about it.  I'm never dealing any way but directly with a manufacturer again!" - Mr. Sinkler, Freedom Wash

Why Buy Factory-Direct, from a State-Licensed Company?


TURN-KEY  Design, Manufacturing, Installation, and Service

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker, Car Wrap company or a Sign Store?)

Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?)  Don't you think you would get the car that made him the most?

Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy?

Why would a sign dealer (Car Wrap company or sign store) be any different?  Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can.

You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed.  It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller's profit goals.  What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need?

Believing "...a sign is a sign" gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac.  Remember the Yugo?  They didn't last very long, either.

Also, most sign dealers, Car Wrap companies and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign.  Ask to see their license.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also.  A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

Now, who provides the warranty?  The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone?  If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty?  Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit?  Is the sign even safe?

As a large, both UL and ETL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs.  Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our business.  We have to care, particularly with our LIFETIME* warranty.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally install and service electrical signs through-out Texas go to http://www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box.  If they are not licensed they can not.

So someone can sell you signs and not be licensed to install or service them.  You may have to have this done.  But unless the electrical signs you buy are "listed" (U.L. usually) they won't be allowed to be installed in Texas, a State of Texas Consumer Protection Safety Law designed to insure that signs are safe to use, with a few local city ordinance exceptions.  It is not illegal to sell them to you, however. Buy carefully.

"I had a ****-a-**** (sign company) right across the street … that store's out of business now … I found out they hired some other company to build and install our sign and they did a really #@%&&$ job, the thing has never lit right.  ****-a-**** Corporate won't do anything, they say the closed store was an independent franchise, and the sign builder/installer won't fix it, they say we weren't their customer.  I need you to come out, tell me what it will cost to get the thing working properly and get it fixed." - Chris Jennings, Jimmy Johns

  • A Certified Engineer designs the structural aspects of the sign.

  • Best Signs in DFWA Nationally-Certified Permitting Clerk is charged with obtaining your City Permit as quickly as possible, if one is required.  Our full-time clerks training and experience proves invaluable in quickly gathering all the information necessary for City approvals.  All of the steps above contribute to the data needed to file a City Permit.

  • Our Production Manager verifies that all pertinent manufacturing information is available, then schedules production.  The more "eyes" on a project, the better!

  • Exclusive Automatic Customer Updates keep our customers informed, so they know where their sign is in production, when the permits were approved and when the sign is scheduled for install.

  • Our Shop Foreman verifies again that all pertinent manufacturing information is available, then has your sign manufactured by our shop personnel.  Again, the more "eyes" on a project, the better!

  • Quality Control putting even more "eyes" on your project, tests and verifies.  They then add either a UL Listing label or an ETL Listing label, depending on the type of electrical sign.

  • Our Installation Manager now shepherds the installation utilizing our QualityCertifiedSigns trained, State-licensed, technicians.

We are trained to identify and solve problems before they affect your sign's delivery.  If problems do arise, our sign company's goal is a trouble-free experience for our customers.  Our staff can handle it!

Smaller sign companies have limited resources to dedicate to problem-solving.

If you are seriously considering buying from someone else we suggest that you also visit their location to observe if they can actually do what they say they can; or at least “Google” their address.  A lot of competitors who present themselves as manufacturers actually only buy and resell signs, working out of a house, office building, small warehouse, or storefront!

The Knowledge Tree - Using Our Website to Learn


Your sign forms that very important "first impression" your potential customer has of your business.  Your sign must always look nearly as good as it looked the day it was installed so that you don't give potential customers a worsening impression of your business as your sign ages.

An example of our dedication to helping our customers succeed is this website. It IS the definitive source on signage information, ranked by Alexa® in the top 0.05% of ALL websites in the world, the top 0.01% in the USA!

We refer to our website as The Knowledge Tree™.  We placed the website online in 1997, and have worked to improve it ever since.  Our database to create it requires over 8,000 pages; more information than some "encyclopedias."

The Knowledge Tree tells you how we manufacture our signage, and why.

Knowledge Tree subjects are on the left side of every page.  For instance, click our "Sign Types" tab to the top-left, then pick any of our products, then explore that page's tabs and discover how we make each sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, rust-proof metal, structural-steel frames, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.

Go to our "About" page and select tabs to learn about the history of Signs Manufacturing, and many other subjects.

Unsure, or unconvinced about the importance of signage to the survival and success of a business?  Click our "About" page's "Importance of Signage" tab to learn what Nationwide studies have proven.

Please use and enjoy this 550+ page website with over 3,000 images, the largest information resource about signs on the internet, created so you can learn about all types of signs and how you can control their affect on your image and business.  Consider "bookmarking" our site as a "favorite" for easier reference later.

We believe that if you're a knowledgeable purchaser there's a real good chance you'll become our customer. 

Signs are Like Boats


There are $50,000 boats; there are $400 boats. The devil is in the details.

Our websites, our literature, and our quotations describe in detail what we do when building signs, and why we do it.

Many competitive quotations that customers show us, and competitors' websites, are for “a boat.”

We have observed in over 40+ years of manufacturing signs, and in life in general, that no one, ever, includes quality and features in their products that are not described in their literature and quotations.

Have you had a different experience?

Considering the proven importance of a quality sign to the success of a business, do you really want to trust “a boat” to keep your business afloat?

Buyer Beware! You must have finite details to evaluate competitive signage quotations. Nothing hurts a business more than bad signage.
