Design Options & Specifications
When ordering zinc signage, it is important to consider a few standard options, including sheet size and thickness of zinc, raised or recessed copy, any borders or bevels desired on your signs, and mounting options.

We also offer a wide range of services in our Graphic Arts Department, including general graphic design, typesetting, and Braille setting. Our group of experienced graphic artists can also use one of many software programs to reproduce line drawings and photographs onto plaques. Our experience in this area reflects in the quality and detail that is achieved on your signs and plaques.

When considering paint colors for zinc signage, we offer more than 25 standard paint colors seen on our paint color chart below. We can also mix paint to match any custom color desired.
