HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT METAL LETTER OR SIGN TYPE

Our non-illuminated metal letters and signs are divided into dimensional fabricated products and flat-cut products. Compare the two main constructions to select the right level of depth, finish, architectural presence, and installation style for your project.

Standard production typically takes approximately 2–5 business days after the final drawings and specifications have been approved. The exact production time depends on the quantity, dimensions, material thickness, fabrication complexity, surface treatment, mounting system, and inspection requirements.

Tonight Sign provides a three-year limited warranty for non-illuminated metal letters and signs supplied worldwide. If a covered part fails because of a manufacturing or material defect rather than incorrect installation, misuse, accidental damage, or unauthorized modification, we will reproduce the affected part and ship the replacement at no charge.

Before shipment, products undergo drawing, dimensional, structural, surface-finish, appearance, and mounting-component inspections. Finished surfaces and edges are protected with EPE foam and suitable wrapping. Reinforced cartons or wooden cases are selected according to the product’s size, weight, finish, and shipping method.
