Difference between Sandblasted Signs & Routed Signs:

Carved or routed signs are a perfect choice if you want to create an impression of a rustic and charming image of your brand. It also suits very well if your business is in a historic district where aesthetic signs are used as a law. A sandblasted or routed is the way to convey both charm and professionalism. At Signs Insight, we often hear the question, which one is the best. Because both sandblasted and routed signs provide a 3d look, so understanding the difference is critical here. Let’s get a brief inside for a better picture.

Sandblasted Signs

We can call sandblasting the “old” version of routed signs. Sandblasted signs are created over HDU (High Density Urethane), wood or other materials. The sign is covered with a custom-cut rubber sandblast stencil, called mask. You then apply high-pressure sand (or other sandblasting material, such as plastic pellets) over the sign (“blasting” it), and when the stencil is removed, it will leave the material that was covered untouched. After that, it will be primed and painted based on your choice. You got your sandblasted sign!

Routed Signs

Routed signs are replacing the old sandblasting process by carving the material with a CNC router (computer-driven routing machine), where all the unwanted portions of the material are removed from the sign, creating a result similar to the sandblasted sign – except that the background from the removed portions can be perfectly flat (or with a digitally-applied texture) vs. having a “popcorn” feel texture caused by sandblasting. Materials used are the same, except that the designs are sent directly from a computer to the router. After creating the model, the computer outputs the graphics and text into a CNC software. The CNC router than cuts the graphics or text out of the material. Routed signs give an elegant engraved look.
Whether you choose a routed sign or a sandblasted sign is entirely up to personal preference and your signage codes. Both methods are the same cost, and both signs create lovely looking signage. We prefer signs that have been routed, as they can give a more modern and somewhat sleeker look. Which method do you prefer?

Why do you need a monument sign?

Attracting the attention from the driveway is one of the most important secrets of a business’ success. We often see road signs of McDonald’s when the building is entirely or partially invisible. Potential customers will drive past them if there is no sign.
The thing that attracts many visitors is the monument sign which is a freestanding sign at the entrance of a property or a business. It’s always installed in the ground with a fine plaster, painted or brick/stone finish. Concrete and natural stones are often used for monument signs. There are no hard and fast rules to the orientation of a monument sign; it can be both horizontal or vertical. If you want to make a one for your business, try to choose the size based on the frontage of your business and other factors determined by your county rules.
