Whether you need a single storefront sign or a full commercial installation, our team handles the entire process from design to
final inspection.


What Is a Cabinet Sign?

A cabinet sign is a box-shaped sign constructed with an aluminum frame, internal lighting system, and an
acrylic or polycarbonate sign face. These signs are designed to display your logo or message with bright, even illumination—
perfect for businesses that operate at night or want high visibility from the street.

Common applications include:

  • Retail stores
  • Restaurants & cafes
  • Shopping centers
  • Gas stations
  • Business complexes
  • Corporate offices
  • Medical & dental practices

Cabinet signs are also ideal for tenants in plazas or multi-unit buildings who need a professional, consistent sign style.


Our Cabinet Sign Installation Process

We follow a structured, professional installation process to ensure your sign is built to last and delivers maximum visibility.

1. Site Survey & Measurement

We visit your location to measure the mounting surface, inspect electrical access points, verify structural requirements, and
confirm city signage regulations.

2. Fabrication or Preparation

Your cabinet sign is fabricated using durable aluminum, CNC-cut faces, premium LED modules, and weather-resistant materials.
If you already have a sign made, we ensure it is installation ready.

3. Permitting & Compliance

Xpress Signs USA handles permitting (if required), ensuring the installation meets city code and property manager guidelines.

4. Professional Mounting

Using our boom truck and commercial-grade equipment, we securely mount your sign to the building or pole structure. We
specialize in:

  • High-altitude installations
  • Multi-story buildings
  • Concrete, stucco, brick, and metal surfaces
  • Existing sign replacements

5. Electrical Hookup & Testing

We perform electrical connections, LED testing, and system checks to ensure long-lasting, dependable illumination.

6. Final Cleanup & Photo Documentation

Once the installation is complete, we clean the work area and provide completion photos for your records.
