Premium Blade Signs & Custom Brackets for Maximum Visibility in Milwaukee

Capture the attention of pedestrians and drivers before they even reach your door. Mounted perpendicular to your building, our custom bracket signs project your brand into the line of sight, ensuring you get noticed from down the street.

The Ultimate Way to Capture Foot Traffic

Blade signs (also known as bracket signs) are one of the most effective ways to catch the eye of pedestrians and drivers. Unlike flat wall signs that are only visible from the front, a sign blade is mounted perpendicular to your building, projecting into the line of sight. This makes them essential for businesses in downtown districts, shopping centers, and restaurants where visibility from the sidewalk is key.

Complete Customization & Hardware: Signarama Milwaukee is your premier source for signs and brackets, offering complete design, fabrication, and installation services. Unlike a generic sign bracket store that only sells parts, we provide the full solution: the custom-printed sign blade, the heavy-duty mounting hardware, and the expert installation required to keep it secure.

Choose the Right Bracket Sign for Your Business

Custom Blade Signs

Whether for a retail storefront or a cafe, we design custom blade signs that match your brand. Choose from classic shapes, carved high-density urethane (HDU) for a wood-look, or modern aluminum cabinets for a sleek finish.

Decorative Scroll Brackets

The hardware is just as important as the sign. We supply durable blade sign brackets in various styles, including ornate scroll brackets for a historic look. These are perfect for adding a touch of elegance and tradition to your storefront.

Modern & Illuminated Projecting Signs

For a contemporary aesthetic, we use sleek, straight-arm mounts or hidden hardware. We offer both non-illuminated bracket signs for a vintage feel and internally lit options that ensure 24/7 visibility, making your brand pop day and night.

Restroom & Interior Blade Signs

Improve wayfinding inside your facility with an interior restroom blade sign. These smaller projecting signs are essential for long hallways in offices, hospitals, and restaurants, helping visitors locate facilities quickly from a distance.

Why Choose Signarama Milwaukee For Custom Brackets?

Heavy-Duty Hardware: We use sign brackets that are powder-coated to resist rust and handle Milwaukee’s harsh weather, ensuring your sign stays beautiful for years.
Code Compliance: Projecting signs have strict zoning rules regarding clearance height and projection distance. We handle the permitting process to ensure your sign is safe and legal.
Structural Integrity: Mounting a heavy sign perpendicular to a wall requires expertise. Our certified installers assess your building's facade (brick, stone, or wood) to determine the safest anchoring method.
Design Continuity: We ensure your blade sign matches your main storefront signage, creating a cohesive look that strengthens your brand identity.
Local Manufacturing: By fabricating locally, we offer faster turnaround times and immediate support if your sign ever needs maintenance or repair.
Wind Load Engineering: Projecting signs face higher wind stress than flat signs. We calculate the necessary bracket strength and mounting hardware to ensure your sign stays secure even during Milwaukee's stormiest weather.
Integrated Lighting Solutions: For illuminated blade signs, we use premium LEDs that provide bright, even illumination without "hot spots," ensuring your brand glows perfectly from both sides of the street.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do you sell just the sign brackets?

While many customers look for a sign bracket store, we are a full-service custom sign shop. We typically provide signs and brackets together as a complete package to ensure the hardware is rated to support the specific weight and wind load of your custom sign. However, we can source specific custom blade sign hardware if you have a unique architectural need.

Do I need a permit for a blade sign?

Yes, most municipalities require a permit for signs that project over a public right-of-way (sidewalk). We handle the permit application, ensuring your sign meets all local codes for clearance and size.

How much does a custom blade sign cost?

The cost varies based on size, materials (HDU vs. Aluminum), and whether it is illuminated. A simple non-illuminated sign is more affordable, while a custom-shaped, lighted cabinet will be a higher investment. Contact us for a precise quote based on your design.

What is a blade sign?

A blade sign is a projecting sign mounted on a building facade or storefront pole using a bracket. Because the sign blade hangs perpendicular to the wall, it is visible to traffic coming from both directions, making it superior to flat signs for capturing foot traffic.

What are the best uses for a blade sign?

Exterior blade signs are ideal for downtown districts, shopping centers, and restaurants where visibility from the sidewalk is key. Interior blade signs are perfect for identifying restrooms, conference rooms, and departments in long corridors where flat wall signs might be missed.

Are your brackets weather-resistant?

Yes. Durability is our priority. Our sign brackets are typically made from heavy-duty steel or aluminum and finished with a powder coat to prevent rust and corrosion. This ensures your bracket sign remains safe and secure through heavy winds and winter snow.
