At Allmark Signs & Graphics, we know your lobby is more than just an entryway—it’s the first impression your business makes. A custom lobby sign welcomes clients, builds credibility, and reinforces your brand identity from the moment someone walks in. The materials you choose will play a huge role in how your brand is perceived.
We work with businesses across Pawtucket to design lobby signs that are professional, eye-catching, and perfectly matched to their brand. Here’s a closer look at the most popular lobby sign materials and what makes each one a great option.
Top Materials for Lobby Office Signs
- Acrylic
Sleek, modern, and versatile—acrylic is one of the most popular materials for lobby signs. It mimics the look of glass without the weight or fragility. You can choose from clear, frosted, or colored acrylic, and it can be cut into letters, logos, or mounted as a panel with vinyl graphics.
Best for: Tech companies, healthcare clinics, law offices, and modern design aesthetics.
- Metal (Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Brass)
For a high-end, professional look, nothing beats metal. Brushed aluminum and stainless steel offer a clean, polished finish, while brass adds a warm, classic feel. Metal signs can be fabricated with dimensional letters or used as a backer with engraved or cut lettering.
Best for: Financial institutions, real estate firms, and corporate headquarters.
- PVC and Foam Board
Lightweight and cost-effective, PVC and foam signs are ideal for businesses that want impact without breaking the budget. These materials can be painted, layered for a dimensional look, and customized with vinyl graphics or digital printing.
Best for: Startups, creative studios, and budget-conscious offices.
- Wood and Faux Wood
Wood offers a warm, organic look that’s perfect for creating a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe. Natural wood finishes can be stained, engraved, or painted, while faux wood materials offer the look of real wood with added durability.
Best for: Wellness centers, boutique agencies, and eco-conscious brands.
- Glass
Glass signs bring a refined and upscale presence to any lobby. They’re usually mounted with standoffs for a floating effect and can feature frosted graphics, etched finishes, or color printing.
Best for: Design firms, law practices, and luxury service providers.
What to Consider When Choosing Materials
- Brand Identity: Think about the message your brand sends. Sleek acrylic may suit a modern firm, while wood might reflect a more natural, grounded image.
- Durability: If your lobby gets a lot of foot traffic or sunlight, durability matters. Metal and acrylic are particularly resilient.
- Budget: We’ll help you find options that match your vision without stretching your budget. PVC and foam often offer great value with a polished look.
- Installation Needs: Some materials require special mounting, like standoffs or flush mounts. We handle everything from design to professional installation.
