Which Aluminum Sign Size Do I Need?

The right size depends on where your sign will be installed, how much information it needs to display, and how far away it needs to be viewed. Here’s a quick guide to Bellia’s three standard online-order sizes.

Compact & Precise

12" × 18"

The smallest standard size — ideal for parking notices, permit displays, safety signs, directional signs, and other applications where you need a professional sign in a tighter space. A good fit for smaller exterior postings, door or wall-mounted signs, and utility-style signage.

Most Popular

18" × 24"

A versatile choice for real estate, job sites, parking notices, business identification, directional signs, and general outdoor signage. The additional space gives you room for larger headlines and graphics while keeping the sign easy to place and mount.

Maximum Visibility

24" × 36"

The largest standard online-order size — a strong choice when your message needs greater visibility. Use it for property and facility identification, construction and development sites, larger directional signs, and other applications where viewers may be farther away.

If your sign must fit an existing frame, verify the required inside dimensions before ordering. Questions? Call 856.845.2234 and we'll be happy to help.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS

Aluminum Signs — Frequently Asked Questions

What size aluminum sign do I need?

Bellia offers three popular sizes for convenient online ordering — 12" × 18", 18" × 24", and 24" × 36". Consider where the sign will be installed, how much information it needs to display, and how far away it needs to be viewed. You can also mark the dimensions on a wall or create a scaled mockup to help visualize the finished size before ordering.

Can I order a custom-size aluminum sign?

Yes. In addition to the three sizes available for online ordering, Bellia can produce custom aluminum signs from 6" × 6" up to 48" × 96". If the size you need is not listed in the online configurator, request a custom quote with your dimensions, quantity, printing, and mounting requirements.

Can aluminum signs be printed on both sides?

Yes. Aluminum signs can be printed in full color on the front only or on both sides. Double-sided printing works well for signs viewed from two directions, including parking signs, property entrances, directional signs, and freestanding displays.

Can aluminum signs have rounded corners?

Yes. Bellia’s aluminum signs are available with square corners or ¾" rounded corners. Square corners provide a traditional sign shape, while rounded corners soften the edges and give the finished sign a different visual appearance.

Do aluminum signs rust?

Aluminum naturally resists rust, making it a practical material for indoor and outdoor signage. Bellia’s standard signs are direct UV printed on .040" aluminum sheet for a rigid yet lightweight finished sign.

Can aluminum signs be used outdoors?

Yes. Bellia’s .040" aluminum signs are waterproof, rust-resistant, and UV safe for indoor and outdoor use. They work well for parking signs, directional signage, property identification, job-site signage, and other exterior applications. Outdoor lifespan can vary depending on installation, location, exposure, and environmental conditions.

How thick are aluminum signs?

Bellia’s standard aluminum signs are printed on .040" aluminum sheet. This rigid, lightweight material works well for a wide range of wall-mounted, post-mounted, and other indoor or outdoor sign applications. For a project that requires a different material or construction, request a custom quote and we’ll help determine the right option.

Can mounting holes be added to aluminum signs?

Yes. Optional ¼"-diameter holes can be added during online ordering. Available configurations include holes in all four corners, the top corners, or centered at the top and bottom. You can also order signs without drilled holes. Frames, posts, fasteners, and other mounting hardware are not included unless specifically quoted or ordered.

How do I make sure my aluminum sign is easy to read?

Keep the message concise, use clear lettering, and choose colors with strong contrast. The appropriate letter size depends on the viewing distance, sign placement, and how quickly people need to read the message. If you need help creating or preparing your artwork, Bellia’s in-house graphic design team can help create a sign suited to its intended use.

Can I see a proof before my aluminum sign is printed?

Yes. After uploading your artwork and adding your aluminum sign to the shopping cart, you can download a low-resolution PDF proof before proceeding to checkout. Use the proof to review placement, sizing, orientation, and overall appearance. Be sure to carefully review your file before completing your order. If Bellia’s in-house design team creates or prepares your sign artwork, we’ll provide a design proof for your approval before it goes to print.

What are aluminum signs commonly used for?

Aluminum signs are commonly used for parking signs, property identification, directional signs, wall signs, safety notices, construction and job-site signs, business identification, municipal signage, campus signage, and informational displays. Their rigid yet lightweight construction and suitability for indoor and outdoor use make them a versatile choice for many types of signage.
