Custom Signs
A custom sign is more than a name on a wall. It’s the first thing a customer sees, the last thing they remember, and the clearest signal of what your business stands for. Signs New York manages every step of your custom sign project in-house — from initial design through permitted installation — so the sign that goes up is exactly the sign you envisioned.
Custom Signs, Built for New York City
Custom signage means building to exact specifications — not modifying templates. We fabricate every sign in-house using precision CNC routing, laser cutting, metal fabrication, wide-format printing, and advanced finishing techniques. Whether it’s dimensional letters, illuminated channel letters, storefront panels, canvas awnings, or vehicle wraps, our production team controls every detail from material selection to final assembly.
Our expertise spans metal, acrylic, composite panels, vinyl, and structural signage systems, all produced by a licensed and insured team that understands NYC’s building codes and environmental demands. From one-off custom builds to large-scale commercial projects, we engineer signage solutions that are durable, compliant, and built to perform in New York City’s demanding landscape.

Our Fabrication Capabilities
Signs New York (Signs NYC) offers top-notch custom fabrication services with advanced machines, technology, and software. We specialize in custom signs of any shape or size using professional cutting and sheet metal bending methods. Our machines can even handle thick materials. Learn more about our cutting technologies
CNC Cutting
Our CNC routers handle aluminum, acrylic, PVC, HDU, and composite panels with precision tolerances down to 1/100th of an inch. We use them for dimensional letters, custom shapes, panel routing, and sign blanks — producing clean edges and consistent results whether it's a single piece or a full production run.
Laser Cutting
Our laser systems cut and engrave acrylic, wood, paper, and thin metals with detail that CNC alone can't achieve. We use them for intricate lettering, fine-detail logos, decorative patterns, and etched plaques — delivering sharp, burn-free edges on materials up to ½" thick.
Wood Work
Our woodworking shop produces carved signs, dimensional buildouts, mounting structures, and custom frames using hardwoods, MDO, and HDU. From hand-finished sandblasted signs to structural supports for large-format installations, we handle shaping, joining, sanding, and finishing entirely in-house.
