We Provide Different Types of Exterior Signs in NJ
Outdoor signs are some of the most important signs for your business's success. They are the signs used to capture the attention of customers, send a message, and brand your company to anyone that may walk near your storefront or building. Outdoor signs face more possible sources of damage than indoor signs, often experiencing a more rapid rate of wear and tear thanks to severe weather, traffic, and more. At Blue Dot Signs, we can craft these custom commercial signs in NJ according to your exact specifications that can handle the moisture, dirt, sun, and other damaging elements.

Options for Exterior Signs from Blue Dot Signs
Our outdoor building signs and storefront signs are custom built specifically with methods and materials meant to withstand weather and other sources of outdoor related damage.

Whether you want your storefront sign to be carved, hand painted, or use lighting in some way, we will take the necessary care to fabricate it to your specifications so it looks perfect and is as long-lasting as you need it to be. We have an inventory of hundreds of different sign types available, with the materials and equipment on hand to customize each one. Options for your sign include choices such as:
- Material - We can craft signs from metal, acrylic, plastic, wood, vinyl, and more to fabricate any sign design you may envision.
- Shape and Size - Using a state of the art CNC router and laser cutting, we can cut any materials to the desired size and shape. Even complex or intricate shapes are possible with the automated, precision cuts of the CNC router.
- Dimension and Lighting - We are able to create 3 dimensional signs, lighted signs, and large format signs that measure as large as 120" or more depending on the material.
- Color - We use the Pantone Matching System to choose colors that exactly match your design for printing and colored materials like acrylic.
- Printing - The graphics on some of our 2-dimensional signs are rendered through direct digital printing which replicates the design exactly as it appears in the design file. This provides flexibility in creating the graphics. We also have large scale printers that can seamlessly create images on signs measuring several feet, and we have machines that can etch or otherwise craft signs where printing isn't recommended.
- Installation - In the process of designing your sign, we will collaborate with you on where and how it will be installed so that we can finish it appropriately.
We are also able to provide outdoor signs that you may not expect to be as durable, such as decals and wraps. These signs can be applied to windows, floors, trucks, and more, as a form of decoration or branding as well as identification for business vehicles. As with our other forms of outdoor signs, we also offer NJ sign installation services for decals to ensure that they’re applied properly and will stay where they’re supposed to be.

Clients Testimonials
Manager
I hired them to install my awnings at my storefront and they not only installed it professionally but also did it in a matter of one day. They were worried about the noise so they completed some work in the break and then came back after the closing time of my store. I am very happy with the installation! They are just amazing!
Manager
I can't say enough about this company. In days where morality is so rare, I was blown away by their professionalism and determination to make their customer happy. When my sign arrived I found an issue and instead of giving me excuses they worked with me to arrive at a solution that was agreeable! Super Impressed by the results too.
Manager
This was my first time doing business with them and I am definitely coming back for more. They gave me a price quote for all the window decals and when I submitted my order, they said it will be delivered in two days, I was skeptical about the quality at first but not only me decals arrived on time but also in amazing quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I add a copyrighted image or color to my outdoor sign?
We are able to add almost any image, color, or design to our signs. If you want to include your company’s logo, signature color, or another type of imagery you own the copyright of, then yes, we can include it immediately. Otherwise, you’ll need to provide permission from the copyright’s owner, or stock imagery that you have paid for commercial rights to use.
-
Can I get input on my sign’s design?
It’s a good idea to seek graphic design input to make sure your sign is eye-catching but not clashing, as well as visible and easy to understand from any distance. If you want an expert opinion on your sign’s font, color choices, design arrangement, or want an idea of where to start with any aspect of the design process, we can offer that. We have sign designers that can help you create any type of outdoor sign, from 3 dimensional to custom colors, shapes, and more.
-
Can lighting be incorporated with my outdoor sign?
Lighting your outdoor sign, internally or externally, is a great way to attract attention to your store at any time of day or night. Some can be lit internally, like a backlight with lightbox signs, channel letters, and some types of awnings to create a glowing effect. External lighting, such as a spotlight, is another option for signs like carved or aluminum metal signs. If you want your outdoor sign to be lit, we can consult with you as to how to make that happen during the ordering process.
-
Can my outdoor sign be kept outdoors all the time?
It depends on the materials it’s made with. Most of our outdoor signs can be kept outside at least for the majority of the day or night, although extreme weather like storms may cause damage. If your sign isn’t permanently installed outdoors, it can be a good idea to bring them inside sometimes to extend their lifespan. Otherwise, regular maintenance can prevent any wear they might experience.
