CUSTOM CUTTING SERVICES
Metal and Plastic Sign Material Cutting Services
While rectangular signs remain a popular choice, there are many instances where a different shape will better convey a message. That could be the shape of your business logo, or a vinyl wrap that is cut to fit the complex dimensions of a vehicle.
At Blue Dot Signs, we use advanced equipment to create any possible shape needed in custom signage. Technology like CNC controllers, routers, lasers, and more allow us to cut almost any type of material. Contact us today if you need a custom cut sign.

Custom Services Options by Blue Dot Signs
In custom sign fabrication, special equipment makes it possible to create custom shapes and sizes. The technology we use automates the process of cutting and etching materials, eliminating the potential for human error and giving a factory-finished edge to cut substrates. We use:
- CNC Cutting – Standing for computer numerical control, a CNC router combines a computerized control and a router. Using software, the needed design is converted to a code which the CNC controller interprets so the router can cut the specific shape. CNC router can make fine and detailed cuts.
- Laser Vinyl Cutting – Using optics lasers, laser cutting directs a precise beam at the material being cut. The laser melts or burns through a material to create an edge or an etched line. The shape is made by connecting the laser to a CNC controller in the same method as CNC routing.
- CAD Cut Lettering – To create letters, the design is created a CAD program. The flexibility of CAD means letters can be straight or curved. The design is then transmitted to a CNC controller which can direct a router or laser cutter to cut the letter shapes out of the substrate.
Using our equipment, we also offer metal cutting services for other projects outside of sign fabrication. Clients can arrange to have a one time or ongoing run of products on our CNC cutting machine or laser cutting service. Please contact us to find out more.
Materials We Can Cut
With CNC routing and laser cutting, we can work with the materials used in signage. Different routers can be connected to the CNC control to trim or etch different substrates. For thicker materials or those that cannot be routed, we will use laser cutting. This makes it possible to cut
- Metal
- Acrylic
- Vinyl
- Wood
- Foam Board
- PVC
- Composites
- Glass and More
On these materials, the cutting method will give it a clean edge like that of the factory finish. This ensures safety, preventing any potential scratches when the sign is handled, and achieves a professional look.
