What custom signage services are available in Charlotte, NC?

Industrial Sign & Graphics provides full-service custom signage solutions in Charlotte, specializing in DOT road signs, regulatory street signs, and large-format digital printing. Our team handles everything from graphic design and screen printing to the installation of aluminum cabinet signs and fleet vehicle wraps for businesses of all sizes.

How long do custom vehicle wraps and fleet graphics last?

A professionally installed vehicle wrap by Industrial Sign & Graphics typically lasts 5 to 7 years, backed by our 3M™ MCS™ Warranty. We use high-quality vinyl and specialized cutting technology to ensure your graphics resist fading and peeling despite exposure to North Carolina's UV rays and road conditions.

What are the requirements for DOT-compliant road signs in North Carolina?

North Carolina DOT signs must meet strict reflectivity and durability standards set by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). We manufacture regulatory and warning signs using Engineer Grade and Diamond Grade Prismatic reflective materials, ensuring full compliance for municipalities and private developments in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.

Can you print large-scale banners over 8 feet wide?

Yes, our facility is equipped with heavy-duty large format technology capable of printing graphics up to 8-10 feet in size without unseamed joins. This industrial-scale capability allows us to produce massive building wraps, event banners, and high-resolution billboards that maintain image clarity and vibrant color even at grand scales.

What is the benefit of screen printing for industrial decals and tags?

Screen printing offers superior durability and cost-efficiency for high-volume orders of signs, tags, and decals. By using increased pigment density and UV-cured inks, our screen-printed products provide deeper, more vivid colors that withstand harsh outdoor environments longer than traditional digital prints, making them ideal for long-term industrial use.

Do you offer professional sign installation in the Charlotte area?

Yes, Industrial Sign & Graphics provides comprehensive sign installation services for all our products, from street signs and marking devices to large storefront displays. Our installation team uses specialized hardware and mounting techniques to ensure every sign is secure, level, and positioned for maximum visibility and safety.

What materials are best for long-lasting outdoor business signs?

For the Charlotte climate, we recommend aluminum cabinet signs or extruded aluminum for street signs due to their rust-resistance and structural integrity. When paired with high-performance vinyl or Gemini 3D lettering, these materials provide a professional look that maintains its appearance for over a decade with minimal maintenance.

How does the custom graphic design process work?

Our art department uses the latest Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to transform your concepts into high-resolution reality. We manage large file sizes without compromising quality, providing you with digital proofs for approval before moving into production. This ensures your brand colors and logos are perfectly represented across all media.

Can I get custom 3D lettering for my office or storefront?

Yes, we are an authorized distributor of Gemini lettering, offering both extruded and 3D dimensional lettering. These can be customized with any standard or custom font to create a high-impact, professional image for your building's exterior or interior lobby, providing a sophisticated look that standard flat signs cannot match.
