Building & exterior signs.

The signs that bolt onto buildings, mount on permanent structures, and brand outdoor commercial property — building-mounted ACM panels, construction project signs, illuminated and non-illuminated vinyl awnings, shopping-cart corral signs, and exterior tension-frame banners. Six formats engineered for multi-year outdoor exposure.

§ 01 · Permanent identity
ACM aluminum composite · Multi-year exterior

Building-Mounted Signs

Permanent identity panels for the building exterior — printed direct on 3 mm aluminum composite material (ACM), router-cut to logo or panel shape, and finished with mounting hardware appropriate for the building face. The standard format for storefront signs without channel letters, second-story tenant identification, side-of-building marketing panels, and any outdoor sign needing 5+ years of weather hold.

Print method

UV-cured flatbed direct on the panel face.

Edge work

Router-cut to logo silhouette or straight panel, optionally radiused corners.

Mounting

Stud-mount, French cleat, VHB-tape, or screw-through with caps.

Outdoor life

7–10 years with UV-stable inks; longer with overlaminate.

Lead time

7–10 business days standard.

Good for

§ 02 · Construction & project
Coroplast, PVC, or ACM · Project-duration

Construction Site & Project Signs

Identification and marketing signs for active construction sites, real-estate developments, and capital-improvement projects — usually showing project rendering, developer / GC / architect identification, expected delivery date, and project sponsor logos. We size to the site fence or barricade structure and pick the substrate based on project duration (coroplast for short projects, PVC or ACM for multi-year builds).

Substrate options

4 mm coroplast (short jobs), 6 mm PVC (medium), 3 mm ACM (long).

Standard sizes

4×8 ft and 4×4 ft are most common; oversized to 5×10 ft.

Update panels

Re-printable insert panels for delivery-date or phase updates.

Lead time

4–5 business days standard.

§ 03 · Daytime-only awnings
Awning vinyl over frame · Sun + shade

Non-Illuminated Vinyl Awnings

Printed vinyl awning faces fabricated to fit your existing aluminum awning frame, or supplied with a new frame for a fresh storefront install. The non-lit version is daytime-visible only — typical for restaurants, retail boutiques, salons, and storefronts that don't run after dark or have alternate exterior lighting. Welded perimeter, sewn corners, attached at the frame edge with concealed lacing.

Substrate

13–18 oz scrim-coated awning vinyl, durable woven backing.

Frame

We print to existing frame, or supply frame + face as a kit.

Construction

Welded perimeter, reinforced corners, sewn lacing channel.

Outdoor life

5–7 years on Gulf-coast exterior exposure.

Print method

UV-curable inkjet, color profiled for awning vinyl substrate.

Lead time

Good for

Restaurant and café storefront awnings · Retail boutique entryway awnings · Salon / spa storefront awnings · Hotel and B&B entry awnings · Outdoor mall and lifestyle-center tenant awnings · Convenience-store and quick-service-restaurant awnings

Awning VinylWelded ConstructionDaytime-OnlyFrame Optional
§ 04 · Internally lit at night
Backlit translucent awning vinyl · LED-lit cabinet

Backlit Vinyl Awnings

Awnings built with a translucent printed face and internal LED lighting — branded by day, glowing storefront-visible by night. Slightly different substrate spec than non-lit awnings (the vinyl needs to transmit light evenly without hot spots), and the frame includes LED mounting points sized to the awning depth and length. The right pick for restaurants and retail with significant after-dark traffic.

Substrate

Translucent backlit awning vinyl, blockout option available.

Frame

Aluminum frame with internal LED-bar mounting tracks.

Lighting

LED module bars (we supply or your sign installer adds).

Nighttime appearance

Evenly lit face, no visible hot spots when properly mounted.

Outdoor life

5–7 years vinyl life; LED life rated separately by module.

Lead time

10–14 business days standard (frame fabrication included).

Good for

Restaurant after-dark visibility · Bar and night-life storefront branding · Hotel entry canopies · Movie-theater entryway · Convenience-store and gas-station awnings · Retail districts where signage competes against busy lit storefronts

§ 05 · Parking-lot advertising
Shopping-cart corral panels · 4x4 / 4x6

Shopping-Cart Corral Signs

Printed coroplast, PVC, or ACM panels sized to fit the open frame of grocery, big-box, and pharmacy shopping-cart corrals — turning parking-lot infrastructure into branded advertising real estate. The standard format for in-store promotional cross-selling ("now hiring," "weekly specials," "store-brand callouts") and for landlord-sold parking-lot ad campaigns at shopping centers.

Substrate

4 mm coroplast (light), 6 mm PVC (medium), 3 mm ACM (heavy).

Standard sizes

4×4 ft, 4×6 ft, 4×8 ft per corral frame opening.

Sided

Single or double-sided printing per corral viewing angle.

Aluminum frame · Swappable face · Wall-mounted

Exterior Tension-Frame Banners

A weather-rated tension-frame system mounted to the exterior of a building, fence, or freestanding pole structure, with a printed vinyl or mesh face stretched flat across the frame opening.

Face substrate

13 oz vinyl for solid; 8 oz mesh for high-wind installs.

Edge finish

What to send us for a building or exterior job

  • Vector preferred — AI, EPS, or PDF/X with all fonts outlined.
  • Raster minimum — 100 DPI at finished size for most exterior signs; 150 DPI for awnings viewed from the sidewalk.
  • Bleed — 1 in around for ACM panels; 2 in for fabric awnings (gets pulled into the lacing); 0.5 in for cart corrals.
  • Cut path — for router-cut shaped panels, supply a separate cut-path layer or clearly defined edge mask.
  • Mounting site — building face material (brick, stucco, EIFS, metal panel, glass) drives the mounting hardware we recommend.
  • Awning frame — if you have an existing frame, give us inside-frame dimensions and the lacing channel depth. Photos with a tape measure help.
  • Permits — many exterior building signs need a city / county sign permit. Ask us if you need a permit set drawing.
  • Upload through our artwork uploader (files up to 2 GB) or email info@pspimaging.com.
