Signs and Signage in Scottsdale & the Phoenix Valley

How Do I Know What Kind of Sign I Need?

Start with two questions. Where will the sign go, and how long does it need to last? A sign for a Saturday event can be light and low cost. A sign on the front of your building has to handle years of Arizona sun, heat, and monsoon storms. A banner is great when you need something big that rolls up. A rigid sign is better when it needs to stand on its own or hang flat on a wall.

Next, think about who you want to reach. People driving by need big words they can read in a few seconds. People walking into your store need a sign at eye level, on the window, or even on the floor. People at a trade show need a booth that stands out from the one next to it. Tell us what you are trying to do, and we will point you to the best fit for your budget. Once people see your sign, many will look you up on their phone next. Here is why a business might not show up on Google.

Types of Signs We Make

Here is everything we make, split into four groups. Each one has a short “best for” note to help you choose. Tap a link to see all the options for that kind of sign.

Signs, Banners, and Flags

Rigid Signs

Signs printed on a stiff board, like plastic, foam, aluminum, or clear acrylic. This covers yard signs, parking signs, office signs, and lobby signs. See all our rigid signs.

Best for: Storefronts, offices, job sites, and real estate.

Sidewalk A-Frame Signs

A fold-out sign that sits right outside your door. The printed panels slide out, so you can swap in a new special without buying a new frame.

Best for: Restaurants, salons, and shops.

Vinyl and Fabric Banners

Big, bright, and easy to hang. Pick tough vinyl for outside, mesh for windy fences, or soft fabric for inside. Grommets and pole pockets are easy to add. See all our banners and flags.

Best for: Grand openings, sales, and events.

Feather, Teardrop, and Pole Flags

Flags move in the wind, so eyes go right to them. Feather and teardrop flags come with a base for inside or a spike for the ground. Pole flags fit a standard flagpole.

Best for: Car lots, open houses, and event entrances.

Window, Wall, Floor, and Car Graphics

Window Graphics

Turn your windows into a billboard. See-through window film shows a full picture from outside, but you can still see out from inside. Solid window graphics block the view for privacy and can be printed on both sides. See all our window, wall, and floor graphics.

Best for: Storefronts, offices, and gyms.

Window Clings

Clings stick to glass with no glue, so they peel off clean and can be used again. They are great for a sale this month and a new one next month.

Best for: Seasonal sales, store hours, and promos.

Wall Decals

Put your logo, a mural, or your mission on the wall. Pick a removable decal for a short time, or a high-tack vinyl that sticks for good, even outside.

Best for: Lobbies, offices, and break rooms.

Floor Graphics

Decals made to be walked on. Indoor floor decals come in any shape or as a round “stand here” spot, with a non-slip top layer. Outdoor aluminum floor graphics grip rough concrete and sidewalks.

Best for: Arrows, lines, and “stand here” spots.

Car Door Magnets

A sign for your car or truck that comes off when you want. Your work truck becomes an ad on the weekdays and your family car on the weekend.

Best for: Contractors, cleaners, and delivery.

Trade Show and Event Displays

Retractable Banner Stands

The banner rolls up into its base and pulls up in seconds. It comes with a carry bag, so one person can set it up. Pick a standard stand, a deluxe stand, or a two-sided stand for open floors. X-style stands are a lower cost choice for inside or out. See all our trade show displays.

Best for: Trade shows, lobbies, and seminars.

Event Tents

A pop-up canopy printed with your logo and colors. It gives your team shade, and people can spot your booth from across the field.

Best for: Farmers markets, fairs, and sports events.

Table Covers and Runners

A printed tablecloth makes a plain folding table look pro. A table runner is a lower cost way to put your logo up front.

Best for: Vendor tables, job fairs, and expos.

Backdrops and Fabric Displays

Photo backdrops, fabric tube back walls, SEG fabric frames for the wall or floor, and LED light-up frames. The fabric is stretched tight with no wrinkles, and it packs down small for travel. For a fun extra, add big-head fan cutouts.

Best for: Booths, red carpets, and photo walls.

Tabletop Displays and Counter Cards

Small signs with a stand that sit on a table or by the register. Pick white plastic or low-cost foam board counter cards, or a small pop-up tabletop display. They are great for a QR code or a deal of the day.

Best for: Front desks, checkout counters, and vendor tables.

Posters and Wall Art

Large Posters

Big, sharp posters on gloss photo paper. We also print thick blockout posters, printed on both sides with no show-through, for windows and hanging displays.

Best for: Store displays, events, and windows.

Backlit Posters

Made for light boxes. The film lets light shine through evenly, so your colors glow day and night.

Best for: Lit menu boards and mall displays.

Canvas and Metal Prints

Your photos or art on stretched canvas or gloss metal, ready to hang. They make an office, restaurant, or hotel feel finished.

Best for: Decor, galleries, and photographers.
