Text, numbers, logos, art and borders can be higher than the background or engraved (carved into it), or both. Styles range from the formal to elegant to contemporary to rustic. All of our HDU signs are made of heavy-duty 20 lb/ft3 High-Density-Urethane and have a protective coating to extend lifetime and ruggedness. Our extremely tough and durable HDPE signs are ideal for parks, playgrounds and other public facilities where wear-and-tear or graffiti could be a problem.

Entrance Sign for the City of Coos Bay, Oregon

We made two of these very large (12 ft high) entrance signs for the City of Coos Bay, Oregon. They were carved in 3-D relief from 20 lb/ft3 High-Density-Urethane (HDU). The sign was prime coated and painted with Matthews and 1-Shot sign enamels, using an airbrush and artist brush. The entire sign was then coated with 2 coats of long-lasting Matthews polyurethane acrylic clear. This plaque will last over a decade in the marine climate without the paint fading.
