Overview

Struggling to Stand Out from the Crowd?

In a busy world, being seen is half the battle. A handwritten sign or a faded, low-quality banner can send the wrong message. To attract customers and build a professional brand image, you need signage that is clear, compelling, and built to last.

An effective sign is your 24/7 marketing tool. It works tirelessly to guide customers, announce promotions, and establish your presence in the community. It’s a critical investment in your brand’s visibility and success.

Our custom signs are perfect for:

  • Retail storefronts & grand openings

  • Community events, festivals & fairs
  • Directional signage & wayfinding

  • Trade show booths & promotions

FAQ

Custom Signs Frequently Asked Questions

We generally focus on smaller-scale projects, but we’re not afraid to go big. If you have a large or complex project in mind, reach out for a consultation — we’ll be happy to discuss how MCW can make it happen.

We bring creativity and craftsmanship to every project, using the right mix of materials and methods to match your vision. From wood to plastic, flat designs to fully 3D signage, we’ve got you covered. The only projects we don’t handle are those involving electrical work or large-scale monument signage.

Our typical turnaround time for custom signage is about 5–10 business days. Larger or more complex projects may require additional production time, but we’ll always discuss timelines with you before getting started.

We require either vector based or high resolution artwork. 

No artwork? No problem! Bring us your ideas, and we’ll craft a custom design tailored to your signage needs. If you have artwork to provide, please ensure it’s vector-based or a high-resolution PNG or JPG.
If you opt for a fully custom design, please allow for a slightly longer turnaround time. 

Full payment is due upon approval of your quote for all custom signage orders. Payment can be made by cash, check, ACH, or credit card, with both in-shop and online options available. If you require different payment terms, please contact us in advance to discuss.
