Standoff signs, also known as wall-mounted signs, are a contemporary type of signage that uses a raised or floating effect to give depth and prominence to the displayed content. Mounting letters and graphics creates these signs or panels a certain distance from the surface, creating a shadow and highlighting the design.
The purpose of standoff signs goes beyond conveying information; they play a pivotal role in reinforcing brand identity, enhancing aesthetics, and making a memorable impact on viewers. Wall-mounted signs are commonly used for wayfinding and branding purposes.

Standoff signs can be made from all kinds of materials, making them one of the most customizable and distinctive looking signs you can use in your office building or other place of business. All that needs to occur is that the sign is placed off of the wall in some way. Yet there are common materials for standoff signs, especially (although not exclusively) clear materials that allow the sign to have a 3D appearance, casting shadows on the wall. Some of the most common materials used for these signs include:​
This material can have the same clear, smooth finish as glass, but is much more lightweight and durable. If your sign is going to be outdoors or in a heavily trafficked area, this is a good material to consider.
It’s hard to match the high-quality look of glass signs. This material is also easier to clean of fingerprints and germs and can very easily customized with painting, etching, decals, and more.
Plexiglass is a type of acrylic, but has an even harder, more durable surface than regular acrylic. Surface scratches and cracks are less likely, and it also makes a good outdoor sign material.
Aluminum is extremely cost effective, lightweight, and easily customizable. They’re also very durable, and widely used for almost any kind of sign you can think of.
Dibond signs are made of two aluminum panels with a piece of polystyrene foam between them. They’re one of the lightest sign materials, are still very strong, and can be easily cut into any shape required.
Brass has a timeless, attractive appearance that can make a big impact when used for award signs, dedication signs, office name plates, lettering, and more.
Nameplates on doors enable a firm to customize its offices and Standoffs support the nameplate on the door while enhancing the look.
Restroom standoff signs are easy to spot and make it simple for the visitors to locate the restroom in the business buildings.
A popular use of standoff signs is to display building numbers and addresses, they are highly visible and easy to read.
Incorporating a brand logo in a standoff sign is an innovative way to make the logo stand out in the business space.
