Signage for Industries & Facility Settings

We develop signs around each facility, audience, brand, and daily operation rather than treating every project as a standard order.

Industry settings we support include:

Manufacturing, Distribution & Warehousing: Signs can provide facility navigation, hazard awareness, equipment identification, and workflow direction.
Healthcare: Identification and wayfinding can guide patients, visitors, and staff through entrances, departments, and service areas.
Retail & Hospitality: Signs can identify the business, communicate promotions, direct guests, and reinforce a consistent visual identity.
Offices & Multi-Tenant Facilities: Coordinated signs can identify suites, shared areas, building services, entrances, and exits.
Educational Facilities: Signage can support campus identification, accessibility, navigation, and visitor communication.

Vehicle graphics provide branded visibility for businesses whose cars, vans, or trucks travel between jobs, deliveries, and service locations. We can coordinate the graphics with the organization’s other visual materials.

Sign Options for Identification, Navigation & Promotion

The right combination of signs depends on where information appears, who must see it, and how frequently the message needs to change.

Available options include:

Building signs help customers, visitors, and delivery drivers locate a business or facility. Monument and free-standing signs provide identification at street or property entrances, while custom feather flags can highlight temporary promotions or points of interest.

Inside a facility, wayfinding signs can direct people through entrances, departments, suites, service areas, and exits. Digital signage supports messages that require regular updates without replacing a printed sign each time the content changes.

Coordinated Design, Production & Installation

Our design team collaborates with clients on colors, shapes, typography, and materials. We consider these choices alongside the content, visual hierarchy, placement, and viewing environment so the finished elements work as a coordinated signage program.

We handle content development, graphic design, production, and installation in-house. This structure keeps industrial signs in Chicago moving through one process and gives clients a single point of contact.

How Our Sign Project Process Works

An initial discussion establishes the communication objective, intended audience, facility setting, sign functions, and project requirements. Our project team, graphic designers, and project managers then coordinate the work through the following stages:

Concept & Requirements
We begin by clarifying what the signage needs to communicate and where it’ll be used. For a larger facility, that can include building identification, directional information, digital messaging, and regulatory signs within one program.

Design Development & Production
We align the message, visual hierarchy, materials, and placement before production. One team and one process also guide Americans with Disabilities Act signage and regulatory signage projects from concept through installation.

Final Installation
We place each completed element in its intended environment. Our project management approach keeps the signage program connected from the first discussion through installation.

Accessibility & Regulatory Signage in Chicago

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires buildings to be accessible to people with disabilities, and signage is a core part of that obligation. Americans with Disabilities Act signage, commonly called ADA signage, can include requirements for character design, tactile text, braille, contrast, and mounting location when those provisions apply.

Chicago facilities operate under multiple accessibility layers, including the federal ADA Standards for Accessible Design, the Illinois Accessibility Code, and the City of Chicago Building Code. Offices, medical and healthcare facilities, retail stores, restaurants, hospitality venues, educational institutions, and multi-tenant commercial buildings often have accessibility signage obligations.

We handle ADA and regulatory signage from concept through installation. Because applicable requirements depend on the facility and sign location, project stakeholders should identify the governing standards for their property and application.

Workplace Safety Signage Standards

Workplace safety signage communicates hazards, required actions, emergency information, and egress direction. In manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution environments, signs may also support equipment identification, traffic direction, and awareness around operational areas.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements include 29 CFR 1910.144, which addresses safety colors, and 29 CFR 1910.145, which covers accident prevention signs and tags. ANSI Z535 is a voluntary consensus standard for safety colors, facility safety signs, and safety symbols. Occupational Safety and Health Administration inspectors use it as a benchmark when evaluating whether signs adequately communicate safety information.

ANSI Z535 color conventions include:

Red: Identifies DANGER
Orange: Identifies WARNING
Yellow: Identifies CAUTION
Green: Identifies safety instructions, first aid, or egress
Blue: Identifies NOTICE information

Color is only one part of a safety message. Signal words, symbols, content, visibility, and placement also affect how workplace safety signage communicates with employees and visitors.
