Cabinet Signs

When your business needs a sign that stands out day or night, cabinet signs—also known as lightbox signs or illuminated building signs—are one of the most effective ways to attract customers and reinforce your brand.

High-Visibility Illuminated Signs for Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista & North County

Whether you’re upgrading an existing lightbox, replacing a faded face panel, or building a brand-new illuminated cabinet, our team handles everything from concept to installation. With years of experience producing signs for retail stores, restaurants, commercial buildings, industrial units, and professional offices across North County, we know what it takes to create a sign that is bright, clean, reliable, and built to last.

Why Choose a Cabinet Sign for Your Business?

Cabinet signs are a popular choice because they offer:

24/7 Visibility – Illuminated signs are highly effective for nighttime traffic and late-evening shoppers. Your brand remains visible even when your doors are closed.
Strong Branding Impact – A well-designed lightbox sign makes your storefront identifiable, professional, and consistent with your visual branding.
Long-Term Durability – Modern cabinet signs use long-life LED illumination, UV-stable print materials, and weather-resistant aluminum construction ideal for Southern California’s coastal environment.
Flexible Design Options – We can produce single-sided or double-sided cabinets, raceway-mounted signs, flush-mounted signs, shaped/contoured cabinets, or face replacements using translucent film or direct-print panels.
Easy to Update – If your business changes logos, colors, or branding, we can replace only the acrylic/polycarbonate sign face instead of the entire cabinet.
