A blade sign is a projecting sign, usually mounted to a wall, column or pole. These signs face perpendicular to the traffic flow and are generally double-sided. Blade signs can be made from a variety of durable materials, including aluminum, steel, acrylic, wood, or high-density urethane (HDU), often combined with lighting elements for nighttime visibility. These signs are versatile and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Common applications include retail shops, restaurants, boutiques, and professional offices—especially in walkable areas like downtowns, shopping centers, and historic districts.
Blade signs are great for condensed or high-traffic shopping areas. They are very effective for foot traffic where shoppers walk along a sidewalk.
An eye-catching and effective sign type, a blade sign should definitely be something you consider if it works within your specific business location. Not sure where to start? A reputable sign company who has experience with this type of signage can help with design, manufacturing, and placement.
