Count on FORMost Graphic Communications for the creation of custom metal signs for your property.

When it comes to outdoor signage, durability, craftsmanship, and visual impact matter. Businesses, municipalities, parks, and commercial properties need signage that not only looks professional but also stands up to weather, time, and heavy use. FORMost Graphic Communications offers complete, end-to-end solutions for custom metal signs, delivering expertly designed, fabricated, and installed signs built to last.

With advanced manufacturing technology and decades of experience, FORMost produces high-quality aluminum, mild steel, and COR-TEN weathering steel signs in virtually any shape or size.

Precision-Cut Custom Metal Signs

FORMost uses a large table, computer-controlled laser cutter to produce custom aluminum and COR-TEN steel signs with exceptional precision. This advanced cutting process allows metal sheets and plates to be cut into virtually any shape, creating signage that is both visually striking and structurally sound.

Custom metal signs can be produced as:

  • Single-panel signs
  • Cabinet-style signs up to 4 inches thick
  • Large-format signs up to 15 feet wide and 8 feet high

For larger projects, sheets of aluminum or steel are welded together using reinforced seams and hidden structural supports along the back or perimeter edges. This ensures strength, stability, and a clean, professional appearance without visible reinforcements.

FORMost also offers custom cut-to-shape aluminum signs as small as 6 inches, making it possible to produce everything from small informational signs to large-scale landmark signage. Production runs can range from a single custom piece to up to 1,000 signs, making FORMost a reliable partner for both one-off projects and large-volume needs.

Signage Solutions for Any Environment

FORMost creates custom metal signs for a wide variety of applications, including:

  • Traffic signs
  • Street name signs
  • Regulation and compliance signs
  • Trail and campground signs
  • Wayfinding systems
  • Informational and directional signs

These signs are commonly used in municipal settings, parks and recreation areas, commercial campuses, educational institutions, and private developments. Aluminum signs offer lightweight durability and corrosion resistance, while COR-TEN weathering steel provides a rugged, industrial aesthetic with a natural patina that continues to protect the metal over time.

Custom Posts, Hardware, and Mounting Systems

In addition to sign faces, FORMost designs and fabricates all necessary mounting hardware and structural components. Available options include round and square posts made from aluminum, mild steel, and COR-TEN steel, as well as custom hardware solutions such as scroll brackets.

FORMost also supplies a wide range of installation components, including:

  • Aluminum, steel, and COR-TEN steel sign posts
  • Wrought iron posts and decorative elements
  • Bases and finials
  • Scroll brackets and sign frames
  • Stands and mounting systems
  • Wood posts and wooden horizontal beams

Every component is designed to complement the sign itself, ensuring consistency in appearance and long-term performance.
