Sign Process - Maritime Autowash

Let's take a look at a few of the steps involved in making an illuminted sign cabinet:


Custom shaped face-frame is fabricated out of welded square aluminum tube.


The cabinet is fabricated aluminum, over 10 ft x 10ft in size.


Measuring and positioning the graphics on the frame. The graphic was printed on white vinyl banner material. To prevent it from looking washed out, the image was printed flipped on the other side. This way, when the fluorescent llights are on, the colors will still appear bright and vibrant.


Stretching the digital print onto the frame.





Meanwhile... the cabinet is painted and left to dry.


These are the molding pieces that will hold the sign faces in place.


Fast forward: the sign is assembled (with fluorescent lights already in place) and ready for installation.
