What to send the shop

  • The size, and where the sign will hang
  • Metal and finish: paint, powder or bare steel

Questions

Metal signs FAQ

What artwork should I send?

A vector file works best: SVG, AI, DXF or a vector PDF. Many shops can also redraw a sketch or photo for a fee.

Can I get a weathering steel sign?

Yes. Weathering steel, often called Corten, forms a stable rust layer. Ask about runoff, since it can stain stone or concrete below.

Can the sign match my brand colour?

Usually. Signs are painted or powder coated after cutting. Send your colour code and ask to see a sample.

Do I need a sign permit?

Business signs often need one. Ask your city before the sign is made, and ask whether the shop helps with drawings for the permit.

Good to know

  • Clear Cut Metal Works in Calgary takes DXF, DWG or CAD files for custom cutting quotes.
  • Thin lines and small text can be hard to cut. Ask the shop to check your artwork first.
  • Ask for stainless or coated screws so mounts don’t rust.
  • No Calgary shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
