CNC Routing for Your New Sign Looks Great!

When it is time for upgrading your signage, think this: CNC routing. It’s not just a fancy buzzword, it’s a tool that brings precision, creativity, and durability into every cut and curve. Here at Davis Signs we often see how CNC (Computer Numerical Control) makes a good sign look fantastic. Read on to learn more!

What Is CNC Routing, Anyway?

Basically, a CNC Router is a machine guided by CAD/CAM software. This moved a cutting blade or tool across a surface to create numbers, letters, shapes, or lines with a very high degree of exact control. SO as you can imagine, what you “draw” on the screen of the computer is translated almost flawlessly into the physical sign without inaccurate edges or inconsistencies. With signs readability and detail matter. truly, it is a game changer.

1. Clean, Precise Edges and Detail

CNC routing delivers cuts that are sharp and accurate, even in very tight corners or fine text. You avoid the small chips, irregularities, or sanding marks that manual work can leave behind. 3D Signage Australia+2 Laguna Tools Blog+2

Your sign will look professional and easy to see from afar with logos, letters and motifs looking crisp and highly distinctive.

2. Depth, Relief, and 3D Effects

One of the beauties of CNC is that it isn’t just flat — you can carve relief, recesses, or raised surfaces. A letter might stand out, or shadows might play into a logo. That depth gives visual interest and helps your sign “pop.” Pinnacle Signs Inc.+1

3. Consistency Across Multiple Pieces

If your business has multiple locations or needs duplicate signage, CNC is ideal. Once the design is programmed, you can make repeat copies with virtually identical results — no variability between signs. CAMaster+1

Let’s face it brand consistency matters today, more than ever. And CNC helps you maintain that look.

4. Material Versatility

CNC routers work with many materials: wood, acrylic, aluminum, composites, foam, and more. 3D Signage Australia+2Forest Scientific+2

So, as you can imagine, this flexibility gives you complete freedom with durability, weight and appearance to totally suit the demands of your location.

5. Reduced Waste & Lower Cost in the Long Run

Because the machine is precise, there’s less material wasted in poor cuts or rework. Also, labor gets used more efficiently (the machine handles repetitive cuts). Over time, that means lower costs per sign, especially for complex or high-volume jobs. Trade Made UK+2Lamar Packaging Systems+2

What to Ask or Know When You Go CNC

Design file quality matters: Crisp routing comes from a crisp vector file. Low resolution files or sub-standard artwork will limit the CNC machine working at its optimum.

Tool and depth choice: The cutting bit utilized and the depth of the carve must be suited to the material being used. Go to deep or too aggressively and the edges can get chipped.

Finishing and sealing: Following routing you will need sealant, paint and edge treatment, especially for an outdoor sign. The clean routing helps these finishes look better.

Lead time: Production time is reduced by the use of CNC but remember the setup of the program still takes time.

Scale: Remember if the sign is too small or too detailed the material may be pushed towards the edge of its tolerances. However, CNC is very forgiving within reasonable margins of design.

What You Will Notice

With CNC you will see sharper logos, greater definition, shadows that look crisper, more depth and a consistent and clean finish. And it gives that impression to your customers. At Davis Signs, we believe your signage is a public face. Letting CNC routing play a role is one of the ways we blend craftsmanship and technology so your brand comes across as confident, precise, and memorable. If you’re considering a new sign or an upgrade, or want to retrofit an existing face with routed elements, reach out. We’d love to help turn your vision into something physical and stunning.

The Benefits of LED Conversion for Signs
Regular Post
Written by Craig B

The Benefits of LED Conversion for Signs

We bet if you still use neon lighting for your business you have noticed an increase in the cost of electric bills, tubes that flicker and maybe a humming noise. That noise is telling you it is time for an upgrade! In fact changing to LED lighting is a very smart move, lowering your operating costs and improving your business image at the same time. Let’s look at why LED conversion has become the go-to move for companies across the Phoenix Valley and beyond. Read on to learn more!

Large Energy Savings!

LED lighting uses up to 70–80% less energy than traditional fluorescent or neon tubes. That means you’ll see an immediate drop in your monthly power bills. Often businesses find the conversion costs pay in less than a couple of years. Remember an LED converts electricity directly into light as opposed to heat. Meaning nearly all the energy you use is cheaper, more environmentally friendly and more efficient. It is a winning formula!

Less Maintenance

It is not quick or cheap to have to change a fluorescent ballast or replace a neon transformer. But an LED can run for excess of 50,000 hours on a 24/7 basis. No more scheduling replacement, frequent service calls, moving ladders and other items. Also less downtime for the sign helping to highlight your brand in the public eye day and night, rain or shine!

Brighter and Cleaner Light

One of the most noticeable benefits of LED conversion is the clarity and brightness of the light. We all know old tubes turn a yellowish tinge or create ho spots making your sign look old and tired. But LED’s supply illumination across every aspect of your sign, giving a modern and fresh appearance. In short, LED signs make sure you stand out from the competition in a great way!

Eco-Friendly

Switching to LED lighting dramatically reduces your environmental footprint. There are no mercury-filled tubes to dispose of, no high-voltage transformers, and far less heat output. Less power demand means less carbon is produced. An upgrade that feels good and looks great! It is a simple way to show customers that your business takes sustainability seriously.

Existing Signs

You don’t have to replace your entire sign to go LED. Most existing sign cabinets and channel letter sets can be retro-fitted with LED modules. A professional sign company just like Davis Signs (!) will look at your current set-up and take out the old tubes and writing with LED components and then seal everything up so it looks great. All the costs of a new sign without a total rebuild.

Better Performance in the Arizona Heat

In the Arizona heat ,traditional neon systems do not handle heat well. They become dim and struggle to get going in cooler temperatures. LED work great in any temperature and in Phoenix this is of great import. Your sign will stay bright all summer long and throughout our cooler seasons without lacking in performance.

More Curb Appeal

Never forget a business sign is the first impression your business makes with a customer. When it looks great it gives your business an air of reliability and the fact you take care of not only the appearance of your business but also that your business has high standards. You will get more drive-by attention, be seen more clearly and the LED look will give your business a great polish in the community.

Let’s Upgrade!

When your sign is dim, flickering and costing you extra just running it and/or in maintenance talk to the team at Davis Signs about an LED conversion. We will take a look at your current sign, advise on the best retrofit way to go and make sure you and your business shines brightly, beautifully, affordably and efficiently.

What Are The Current Trends in Exterior Business Signs

Signs are more than informative, they are the personality a building portrays in public! Exterior signage is brighter than ever: tech, sustainability, and design all showing up together. If you’re thinking about a new storefront, monument, or LED board, here’s what’s trending and what actually matters for businesses in Arizona. Read on to learn more!

Digital and Smart Content

Digital signs keep getting smarter. It’s not just about flashing promos anymore. From AI scheduling, and personalization it mean signage can show the right message at the right time (and trade it automatically). That makes digital great for retail, restaurants, and any business that changes its special offers often. Rise Vision

Screen Technology

MicroLED and denser LED tiles are coming down the runway from trade shows, giving sharper, brighter outdoor displays with better viewing angles. If you want a billboarding effect without the billboard price, new display tech is where to watch. MCube

Low-Power and Portable Digital Choices

Battery-powered kiosks and portable digital stands are a real thing now. They are great for pop-ups, events, or businesses that want seasonal displays without heavy rewiring. They’re also part of a quieter sustainability push: less permanent infrastructure, lower install footprints. AVNetwork

The Classy Look Still Counts!

Channel letters aren’t going anywhere but their appearance is evolving/ Halo-lit (reverse-lit) letters that create a soft glow behind the text are huge for premium looks, and combo-lit setups give both daytime presence and nighttime drama, keeping your business in the spotlight. It’s a designer’s trick that reads upscale without shouting. Impact Signs

Bold Signage Represents Your Company

Big, readable type is trending: chunky sans-serifs, bespoke letterforms, even tactile metal/wood letters that age well. People want signage that reads quickly from the street and looks like it belongs to the brand. Natural materials (or convincing finishes) are back in vogue. Diamond Signs and Graphics+1

Less Is Sometimes More

Less clutter, more impact. Clean face signs, simple monuments, and modular systems that let you add panels or swap messages are popular. They are so easy on the eye and easier on the budget when you want to upgrade later.

Interactive & Integrated Experiences (QR/NFC/Wayfinding)

Static signs used to be fine, but now many businesses add scannable codes, NFC tags, or simple wayfinding that links people to menus, parking maps, or loyalty offers. It’s low-cost, high-value and doesn’t require a full screen to be effective. AA Sign & Awning

Sustainability Is Essential

From LED efficiency to recyclable materials and battery-operated options, clients increasingly ask about lifecycle costs and energy use. Arizona’s sun means you also want heat-tough finishes and high-quality LED modules that won’t fade in year two.

Quick tips for Arizona businesses

  • Brightness matters ask for outdoor-rated nits for daytime legibility.

  • Think maintenance  cheaper LEDs and paints show wear fast in the Valley. Budget for module replacements and cleaning.

  • Permits first  zoning and electrical requirements vary by city; get guidance early.

  • Mix & match  a neat combo of a tasteful channel-letter façade plus a small digital marquee often hits the sweet spot for visibility and ROI.

The Signs Of The Times

Trends change, but clarity and quality don’t. If you want modern impact with classic sensibility, a bold, readable sign that stands up to Arizona sun and keeps costs sensible, that’s exactly what we design at Davis-Signs.

To make your business sign look different, you can add special fonts and images. The best aspect is that the cost of getting signs customized is repaid by the amount of traffic you can get. If you are struggling to come up with a design or just want some extra input our experts can help you out with some business signs ideas. Call Davis Signs & Graphics today at (480) 945-0196.

Church Signs Costs 2025

Church Signs Costs 2025

If your church needs or wants a new sign, it is exciting but also the cost may be a little daunting at first! In this post we will look at the typical prices for Church signs here ion Arizona and why the costs vary. Read on to learn more.

Typical price ranges (realistic starting points)

Church sign projects vary widely, but here in Arizona most church signs fall somewhere between about $5,000 and $50,000, depending on whether you want a simple marquee or a full LED digital display. Davis Signs

If you’re eyeing an LED/digital marquee (the ones with scrolling messages and color), expect the entry level  around the high $6k–$8k mark and climb substantially for larger, full-color displays. Those give great visibility, but they’re an investment. MetroCenter Signworks

Conversely, if you want a tall road-visible pylon or pole sign, costs can vary enormously, anywhere from roughly $8,000 up into the hundreds of thousands for very large, illuminated structures, depending on height, materials and engineering. Arizona Commercial Signs+1

Monument signs. the sturdy stone/ stucco signs at the front of many churches tend to be priced by complexity and size; a rough industry guideline is $150–$400 per square foot (more for premium stone and lighting). Arizona Commercial Signs

What actually drives the price?

Several things, and they’re mostly predictable:

  • Size & visibility: Bigger = more materials, heavier foundations, possibly cranes.

  • Type: Simple routed-letter or changeable-letter marquees cost far less than LED matrix displays.

  • Materials & finish: Stucco/stone monument signs cost more than painted metal or routed HDU.

  • Electrical & site work: Power, conduit, trenching, and lighting add labor and permit costs.

  • Installation complexity: Tight access, traffic control, or needed cranes increase labor.

  • Permits & engineering: Many cities/counties require permits, site plans, and sometimes structural engineering especially for tall signs. If you are planning a particularly large or tall sign you may also want to consider the impact it may have on people who live or work in the vicinity of your church.

Phoenix-specific notes (sun, permits, and common sense)

Arizona sun and heat matter. UV/heat resistant finishes and high-quality LED modules will cost more up front but hold up far better in the Valley than bargain materials. Also, check local zoning and sign codes early, a permitted sign is the painless route; an after-the-fact fix is expensive.

Ways to save (without skimping on safety or impact)

  • Decide what you need vs. want. A readable, lit monument or a small LED marquee may be all you really need.

  • Get 2–3 detailed quotes that break out materials, installation, electrical and permits. (Don’t accept “package” pricing with no line items.)

  • Reuse bases or foundations where possible, retrofitting an existing footprint can save big.

  • Bundle projects: If you’re updating multiple signs or site lighting, bundling can reduce mobilization costs.

Maintenance & lifetime costs

Remember the long game: LED modules, drivers, and face materials all have lifespans. A cheaper sign might mean earlier replacement or higher maintenance bills, calculate 5–10 year maintenance into the budget.

Final friendly advice

Start with a clear priority list: (1) visibility/safety, (2) budget, (3) style. Bring a site photo and a wish list to your sign contractor. that’ll get you a realistic quote fast. If you want to swap a digital board for a simpler marquee, you’ll save money; if you need highway-level visibility, be ready to invest for the return.

At Davis-Signs.com, we love helping Arizona churches find the balance between beautiful, durable, and affordable. Give us a call or send a photo of your property, we’ll give you an honest, written estimate and options that fit your congregation and budget.

How Much Does an Outdoor Business Sign Cost 2025

Outdoor Business Signs especially in the Phoenix Valley really help your business stand out not only from its competitors but also in our dramatic and beautiful landscape. Read on to learn more about the cost of outdoor business signs.

Sign Type Typical Cost Range (Arizona/Phoenix area)
Simple flat panel / storefront sign $300 – $1,500. (Small jobs, quick installs.) Davis Signs & Graphics
Channel letters (lit façade letters) $2,000 – $10,000+ (standard installs often in the low thousands). Flexlume+1
Monument sign (stone/stucco) $150 – $400 per sq. ft. (many jobs land around $2,000–$15,000 depending on size/finish). Arizona Commercial Signs
Pole / pylon signs $8,000 – $50,000+ (large roadside pylons can jump much higher). Western Signs and Lighting
Outdoor digital / LED displays $10,000 – $80,000+ (depends on size, pixel pitch, ruggedness). BestLEDSigns

Why Such a Difference In Costs?

A sign can be a $400 painted panel or a $40,000 full-color LED billboard and both are “outdoor signs.” Size, materials, lighting, mounting method, site work, and whether you need permits or engineering all drive the price. The more visible the sign is, the more the cost of the sign will be.

Getting What You Pay For

  • Materials & finish: Real stone, aluminum faces, routed HDU, premium paints and UV coatings cost more but last longer.

  • Lighting: Internal LEDs, halo-lit channel letters, or neon-style effects add cost and wiring.

  • Installation complexity: Cranes, lift rental, traffic control, or afternoon installations add labor hours.

  • Electrical & trenching: Power to the sign, conduit, and meter work are often separate line items.

  • Permits & engineering: Tall signs or highway-facing pylons commonly require stamped plans and city permits remember to budget for that. (Ask your sign shop what’s included.) Western Signs and Lighting

Think Of The Climate Here in Arizona

The Arizona sun is no joke. Cheap paints, low-grade LEDs, or non-UV coatings will fade fast. Spending a little more upfront on UV-stable finishes and proven LED modules is definitely worth it. Also check local zoning and setback rules early: an after-the-fact redesign is an expensive surprise.

Save Money And Still Look Great!

  • Be honest about purpose: If passerby visibility is the goal, invest in size and lighting. If it’s curb appeal, a well-made monument or routed face will do.

  • Reuse what you can: Using an existing foundation or pole often saves big.

  • Get itemized quotes: Compare materials, installation, and electrical as separate line items.

  • Consider staged upgrades: Start with a quality, non-digital sign and upgrade to an LED panel later if you want messaging flexibility.

Maintenance & Lifespan

Budget for maintenance: cleaning, LED driver replacement, module swaps, and paint touchups. Cheaper signs can mean earlier replacement; think about total cost of ownership over 5–10 years.

The Signs Are There!

Let’s say you want a lit channel-letter sign above your shop: plan on $2,500–$7,000 for many typical installs (design, fabrication, standard install). If you want a monument sign with faux-stone and lighting for a multi-tenant property, you’re often looking at $4,000–$20,000 depending on square footage and finish. For messaging screens or digital marquees, expect the jump — those start in the low five figures and rise with quality and brightness requirements. Flexlume+2 Arizona Commercial Signs+2

It’s Your Signpost To Success!

Take a photo of the site, write down where you want the sign to be seen from (street, parking lot, highway,) a trusted sign company will explain maintenance, life expectancy, permitting, and give options that match your budget and goals — that’s what we do at Davis-Signs.

How Long Do Neon Lights Last?

Neon lights generally last a very long time—but their exact lifespan depends on the type, usage, and maintenance. Here’s a breakdown:

🔋 Average Lifespan of Neon Lights

Type Average Lifespan Notes
Traditional Glass Neon Signs 8–15 years With proper care and installation, some last over 20 years.
LED “Neon-style” Signs 30,000–50,000 hours (≈8–12 years if on 12 hrs/day) More energy-efficient, less fragile than glass.

🧯 Factors That Affect Longevity

  1. Usage Time

    • Signs left on 24/7 may wear out faster than those on timers or switches.

  2. Environmental Conditions

    • Indoor signs last longer.

    • Outdoor signs exposed to weather, dust, and heat (like Phoenix summers) can degrade faster without protection.

  3. Power Supply & Maintenance

    • High-quality transformers and occasional cleaning greatly extend life.

    • Flickering or dim signs often signal transformer or gas issues—not the end of the sign itself.

  4. Type of Gas Used

    • Neon (red/orange) tends to last longer than argon (blue/green), which may degrade faster due to gas leakage or mercury oxidation.

🛠 When to Replace or Repair

  • Dimming or flickering: Likely a transformer or electrode issue.

  • Partial lighting: May indicate gas leakage.

  • No light: Could be a failed power supply or internal break in the tube.

Repairs are often cheaper than full replacement, especially for traditional neon.

Absolutely! To get the most out of commercial truck wrap advertising, you need more than just a pretty design—you need strategy. Here are top tips for effective and impactful truck wrap advertising in 2025:

🎯 Tips for Effective Commercial Truck Wrap Advertising

1. ✅ Keep It Simple and Bold

  • Use large fonts, high-contrast colors, and bold graphics.

  • Avoid clutter—too much info becomes unreadable at a glance.

  • Focus on the most critical message: company name, service, and contact info.

2. ✅ Prioritize Key Info

Include only what drivers can quickly digest:

  • Business name/logo

  • Website or phone number

  • Core service or slogan
    Example: “24/7 Plumbing” or “Mobile Dog Grooming”

3. ✅ Design for Motion

  • Remember, most people will see your wrap while driving or at a stoplight.

  • Ensure that text and graphics are legible at a distance and while moving.

  • Use sides and rear for different angles of visibility.

4. ✅ Use Professional Designers

  • Hire a designer who specializes in vehicle wraps, not just general graphics.

  • A pro will consider curves, handles, seams, and windows in the layout.

5. ✅ Use High-Quality Materials

  • Invest in premium wrap vinyls (like 3M or Avery Dennison) for durability and finish.

  • Quality materials resist fading, peeling, and damage from sun or road grime.

6. ✅ Highlight Local or Unique Selling Points

  • Emphasize if you are locally owned, family operated, or offer special guarantees.

  • Local trust boosts conversion, especially for service businesses.

7. ✅ Update for Promotions or Campaigns

  • Consider using removable magnetic panels or partial wraps to advertise limited-time offers or seasonal promotions.

8. ✅ Keep Your Fleet Consistent

  • Use a uniform design across all company vehicles.

  • Reinforces your brand image and builds recognition faster.

9. ✅ Maintain the Wrap

  • Regularly wash the vehicle (avoid pressure washing edges).

  • Park in shaded areas to reduce UV fading.

  • Touch up any damage to maintain a clean professional appearance.

10. ✅ Track Results

  • Use trackable phone numbers, QR codes, or landing pages to measure ROI.

  • Ask customers how they found you—wraps often drive more leads than expected.

Custom Neon LED Signs Costs 2025

​In 2025, the cost of custom neon LED signs varies based on factors like size, design complexity, materials, and additional features. Here’s a breakdown to help you understand the pricing landscape.

💡 Estimated Price Ranges

  • Basic Custom Text Signs: Starting around $80 for simple designs with standard colors and fonts. ​

  • Mid-Range Custom Signs: Typically between $200 and $500, depending on size and design intricacy.

  • High-End Custom Signs: For large or highly intricate designs, prices can range from $800 to $2,000 or more.

🔍 Factors Influencing Cost

  • Size: Larger signs require more materials and labor, increasing the price.​

  • Design Complexity: Intricate designs with multiple colors or detailed logos can raise costs.​

  • Materials: Traditional glass neon signs are generally more expensive than LED alternatives due to higher production and maintenance costs.

  • Customization: Personalized text, logos, or unique color schemes can add to the overall expense.

  • Additional Features: Options like RGB color-changing capabilities or UV printing can further influence pricing.

🛠️ Tips for Purchasing

  • Compare Quotes: Reach out to multiple vendors with your design specifications to get competitive pricing.​

  • Check Reviews: Look for customer feedback to ensure quality and reliability.​

  • Consider Energy Efficiency: LED neon signs are more energy-efficient and durable compared to traditional glass neon signs.​

  • Verify Warranty and Support: Ensure the vendor offers a warranty and responsive customer service.

How Long Do Neon Lights Last?

Neon lights typically last 8 to 15 years, depending on the type, quality, usage, and environmental factors. Here’s a breakdown:

💡 Lifespan by Type

  • Traditional Glass Neon Signs:
    ⏳ 8–15 years

    • These use neon or argon gas in glass tubes.

    • Lifespan can shorten due to gas leakage, transformer failure, or glass degradation.

  • LED Neon Signs (Faux Neon):
    ⏳ 30,000 – 50,000 hours (~8–12 years with average use)

    • Use flexible LED strips, often in silicone tubing.

    • Longer-lasting, more energy-efficient, and less prone to breakage.

⚠️ Factors That Affect Lifespan

  • Usage Time: Constant use (24/7) will reduce lifespan more quickly than intermittent use.

  • Quality of Components: Cheaper materials (especially in power supplies or tubing) wear out faster.

  • Environmental Conditions: Outdoor exposure, extreme heat/cold, or humidity can degrade both traditional and LED signs.

  • Maintenance: Clean, dust-free environments and proper transformer care help prolong life.

🛠️ Signs It’s Time to Replace

  • Dimming or flickering lights

  • Uneven brightness or dark spots

  • Audible buzzing (for traditional neon)

  • Sections not lighting up (common with LED failures)

Motorcycle Wrap Costs 2025

​The cost of wrapping a motorcycle in 2025 varies based on several factors, including the size of the bike, design complexity, and the quality of vinyl used. Here’s a breakdown to help estimate potential expenses:

Average Costs

  • Full Motorcycle Wrap: Typically ranges from $1,500 to $4,000.

  • Partial Wraps or Decals: Covering specific sections, such as the fuel tank or fairings, can be more affordable, with prices varying based on the area covered.

Factors Influencing Costs

  1. Bike Size and Coverage:

    • Larger Motorcycles: Require more material and labor, leading to higher costs.​

    • Partial Wraps or Decals: Focusing on specific sections will be less expensive than a full wrap.

  2. Quality of Vinyl:

    • Standard Vinyl: More affordable but may have a shorter lifespan

    • Premium Vinyl (e.g., 3M, Avery Dennison): Offers better durability and finish but at a higher price point.

  3. Design Complexity:

    • Simple, Single-Color Wraps: Generally cost less.​

    • Custom Graphics or Intricate Patterns: Increase the price due to additional design and installation time.​

  4. Installation Method:

    • Professional Installation: Ensures a high-quality finish but adds to the overall cost

    • DIY Installation: Can save on labor costs; however, it requires skill and may not achieve the same quality as a professional job.​

Additional Considerations

  • Protective Benefits: Beyond aesthetics, vinyl wraps protect the motorcycle’s original paint from scratches and UV damage.

  • Maintenance: Proper care can extend the lifespan of the wrap, ensuring it remains vibrant and intact.​

When planning to wrap your motorcycle, it’s advisable to consult with professional wrap installers to obtain accurate quotes tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
