A lobby is often the first place customers, clients, and visitors experience a business. Acrylic and dimensional lobby signs add depth, branding, and a professional appearance to reception areas, office entrances, and shared commercial buildings.
Why Choose Acrylic and Dimensional Lobby Signs?
Unlike flat printed signs, dimensional signage uses raised letters, logos, or layered materials to create depth and visual interest. Acrylic provides a clean, modern appearance, while metal and PVC can create different finishes and styles.
These signs work well for:
- Corporate and professional office entrances
- Medical and service businesses
- Reception and waiting areas
- Multi-tenant buildings and lobby directories
- Businesses updating outdated interior signage
What to Consider Before Installation
A few choices affect the final appearance of your Des Plaines lobby signage:
Material: Acrylic offers a modern look, while metal creates a more premium or traditional appearance.
Mounting: Flush mounting creates a clean finish, while standoffs add depth and a subtle shadow effect.
Wall surface: Drywall, brick, concrete, and glass may require different mounting hardware.
Directory updates: Multi-tenant signs can be designed with replaceable panels when tenant information changes.
A design proof before fabrication helps confirm logo size, letter spacing, colors, and placement.
