8 Top Benefits of Engraved Signage

By websitebuilder • October 7, 2016

Regardless of what industry you operate in, your company signage is key to how well your business does. You need a sign outside that tells customers who you are and what you do. You need signs inside to indicate whose office is whose and which way to go to find the restroom. You need signs to warn employees of danger or to leave vital instructions.


Engraved signage represents the best medium for all these signs. A modern business can utilise all of these different types of signs and have them last forever. The signs stay readable for years, and the company avoids spending money on replacement signs.


In this blog, we go over eight of the top benefits of engraved signage for your company.

1. Compatibility With All Business Types

Any business, from a large factory to a privately owned coffee shop, can benefit from engraving services. In addition to the signage outside your business, there are name tags, warning labels, control panels and more that can all be engraved. The technical precision of engraving lets your create signs that complement any aesthetic.

2. Cost-Effective Manufacturing

Signage engraving causes less wear and tear on the tools than most other traditional forms of sign making, meaning the manufacturer can charge you less. When there’s less wear and tear, the machines last longer, and more signs can be engraved for the same amount of money.

3. Highly Readable End Result

Engraving your signage produces a crisp, permanent and clean result. The machines used in today’s engraving industry are highly advanced and sophisticated, operating with the aid of a computer. Because of this, you can choose more complex designs without sacrificing readability, even from a distance.

4. Long-Lasting Signage

Unlike painted signs, engraved signage lasts a long time despite rain, snow, sun or vandalism. While paint can be chipped or bleached, engravings will last for many years. Chemicals also won’t damage the sign and the engraved lettering whenever it needs to be cleaned.

5. Few Maintenance Requirements

Choosing engraved signs also makes sign maintenance easier. All your sign requires is an easy wiping down with products that aren’t too harsh. If your metal engraved signage needs its shine restored, all you need is some metal polish and a rag. Not only are the maintenance needs of engraved signs minimal, but they’re also easy to perform.

6. Many Options for Sign Material

While metals like stainless steel and aluminium are probably the most common signage materials, when you opt for engraved signs, you’re not limited to these materials. Various other metals can be used, such as bronze or copper, and you could also choose glass, wood, acrylic, leather or fabric. Engraving even works on strong industrial plastics.

7. Accurate, Exact Lettering

Thanks to the sophisticated technology and machinery used in engravings today, the engravings produced look exactly like the preview you approved. As long as you thoroughly proofread the design, it is highly unlikely you’ll end up with an engraved sign that features a mistake.
