FCOs (flat cut outs)
lat cut out signs, also called FCO signs, are precision cut letters, logos, and shapes produced from rigid substrates and mounted directly to walls, doors, or surfaces. They create a clean dimensional look without the cost of illuminated channel letters. FCO signs are ideal for lobby signage, reception areas, office branding, retail environments, and exterior building identification.
We cut FCOs from acrylic, PVC, dibond, and other materials depending on the application, finish preference, and budget. They can be painted, laminated, or left with a natural material finish for a modern look.
Lobby Signs and Interior Signage
Your lobby is the first impression clients and visitors have of your business. A well executed lobby sign communicates professionalism, builds trust, and reinforces your brand the moment someone walks through the door. We produce custom lobby signs in acrylic, PVC, and dibond with a range of finishes including gloss, matte, brushed metallic laminates, and frosted effects.
From simple flat mounted logos to layered dimensional builds with standoffs, we design lobby signs that match your brand standards and look like they belong in the space.
Substrate Sign Materials
We work with four primary substrates depending on the application:
Acrylic is our go-to for premium lobby signs and interior signage. It machines cleanly, takes paint and laminate well, and gives a polished professional finish.
PVC is lightweight, easy to mount, and cost effective for interior signs, office directories, wayfinding, and temporary applications.
Dibond is an aluminum composite panel that is rigid, lightweight, and weather resistant. It is ideal for exterior signs, building identification, and any application that needs durability without the weight of solid metal.
Coroplast is a corrugated plastic substrate that is budget friendly and lightweight. Best suited for temporary signage, real estate signs, and short term outdoor applications.
