Choosing the Right Custom Sign for Your Business: Engraved vs. 2D Raised Design Signs
At 1620 Designs, we know that the right sign can make all the difference in your space. Whether you’re branding your storefront, labeling restrooms, or adding wayfinding throughout your business, the style of your sign matters. That’s why we offer two premium sign styles—Laser Engraved Signs and 2D Raised Signs—each with distinct benefits depending on your project.
2D Raised Signs: High-Impact & Bold
2D signs feature raised letters and icons, creating a dimensional look that instantly stands out. This style is perfect for businesses looking to make a bold visual statement.
Why Choose 2D Raised Signs?
- Eye-Catching Design: Raised elements add depth and visibility.
- Best for Simple Graphics: Ideal for logos and symbols that don’t require fine detail.
- Great for Medium to Large Signs: Their boldness scales well for larger formats.
- Premium Look: Especially when paired with standoff fixtures that elevate the sign off the wall.
Laser Engraved Signs: Sleek & Cost-Effective
Laser engraved signs are a go-to option for projects that require precision and quantity. Designs are etched directly into the surface, making them durable and perfect for detailed graphics.
Why Choose Engraved Signs?
- Cost-Effective: Especially great for larger orders.
- Precision Detailing: Perfect for small icons, text, and intricate logos.
- Versatile Sizes: Works well for both small tags and larger wall-mounted signage.
- Clean & Professional Finish: Ideal for offices, clinics, and high-traffic areas.
Which Style is Right for You?
Both styles can be customized to match your brand’s color palette and aesthetic. If you want a standout design with dimensional depth, 2D is the way to go. If you need clean, detailed, and cost-efficient signage—especially in volume—engraved signs are the smart choice.
Flexible Mounting Options for Any Space
No matter which sign style you choose—2D raised or laser engraved—we can outfit it with the mounting solution that best fits your space and installation needs. We offer a variety of mounting options including:
- Wall Mounting for a clean, flush look
