Add Depth and Character to Your Property with Custom Carved and Sandblasted Signs
A flat sign can identify your business, but carved details and textured surfaces can add depth. Raised lettering creates natural shadows, while recessed areas and painted finishes help separate your name from the background.
AMI Signs plans each sign around your logo, building, landscape, viewing distance, and the way people approach the property. A roadside entrance may need large lettering and direct contrast. A sign near a walkway can support finer details that people will see from a shorter distance.
We can manage your project from developing the design through producing and installing the finished sign. Contact us today to discuss your property, artwork, and the appearance you have in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between carved and sandblasted signs?
Carving shapes individual letters, borders, and graphic details by removing material from selected areas. Sandblasting uses a protective mask while abrasive blasting recesses or textures the exposed parts of the sign face. Both methods can produce raised and recessed visual effects.
What materials can you use for carved signs?
Material availability depends on the design and the products AMI Signs currently carries. HDU sign board is commonly used because manufacturers produce it for carving, routing, and sandblasting. Contact us today to discuss the material options available for your project.
Can you use my existing logo?
Yes. Send us suitable logo artwork and any available brand standards. We will review the lettering, line thickness, spacing, colors, and graphic details before adapting the design for dimensional production.
Can carved and sandblasted signs remain outdoors?
Many dimensional sign products are made for exterior use. Their service life depends on the substrate, coatings, mounting, exposure, maintenance, and site conditions. We will recommend an approach after reviewing where you plan to place the sign.
Can you replace a panel in an existing sign structure?
Possibly. We need to inspect the dimensions, condition, mounting points, support structure, and surrounding site before confirming whether we can reuse the existing components.
