When you want signage that commands attention, adds texture and brings your brand to life, fabricated signs are the answer. At North Lakes Signs, we design, manufacture and install custom-fabricated signs across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
From sleek aluminium letters to bold 3D branding and backlit logos, our fabricated signage offers durability, depth, and unmatched visual impact. Whether it’s your main building sign, a feature wall logo, or a standout reception centrepiece, we’ll help you create signage that gets noticed.
What Are Fabricated Signs?
Fabricated signage involves three-dimensional construction, giving your logo or message shape and structure. Each element is physically built (or “fabricated”) from materials such as aluminium, acrylic, stainless steel or PVC, assembled and finished to suit your brand’s visual style.
These signs are often used when:
- You want a more premium, high-end look
- Flat-panel signs aren’t bold enough.
- You need visibility from a distance or at night.
- You want your branding to stand out physically
They can be installed indoors or outdoors and are commonly combined with LED lighting for added visibility.
Types of Fabricated Signs We Offer
We custom build every sign in our Brisbane workshop, with complete flexibility over size, finish and lighting. Popular options include:
- Fabricated metal lettering – aluminium or stainless steel, powder-coated or brushed
- Acrylic 3D logos – cut, formed or layered to match your brand
- Halo-lit or front-lit signs – illuminated from behind or within
- Built-up logos and shapes – layered or boxed elements for maximum impact
- Mounted signs with custom backdrops – including timber, ACM or frosted acrylic
Want your sign to make a statement from every angle? Our fabricated signs pair perfectly with 3D signage and lettering for a bold, architectural finish.

FABRICATED SIGNS FAQS
Fabricated signs are built in three dimensions, giving them physical depth and structure—unlike flat-panel signs, which are typically printed or vinyl-applied onto a surface. With fabricated signage, each letter or logo is individually constructed from materials like aluminium or acrylic, creating a more premium and professional look. The added depth enhances visibility from different angles and creates shadowing and lighting effects that flat signs can’t achieve.
We use a range of durable, high-quality materials depending on where the sign will be installed and the finish you’re after. Standard options include aluminium (powder-coated or brushed), stainless steel for a sleek architectural look, acrylic for vibrant colour and depth, and ACM (aluminium composite material) for lightweight structural backing. These materials are chosen for longevity, especially in Brisbane’s outdoor conditions.
Yes, illumination is a popular feature for fabricated signage. We offer several lighting options, including halo-lit (backlit) signs for a soft glow behind letters, face-lit signs where light shines through acrylic fronts, and edge-lit designs that add a clean, modern effect. We use energy-efficient LED systems that are long-lasting, low-maintenance, and suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Illumination is handy for signage that needs to be visible at night or in high-traffic locations.
Fabricated signage is more complex than flat panel printing, so production typically takes around 10 to 15 business days from the time your design is approved. This includes material sourcing, cutting, shaping, welding, assembly, and lighting components. If your sign is particularly large or intricate or requires specific finishes or approvals, we’ll provide a clear production schedule upfront so you know exactly what to expect.
While often used on building exteriors, fabricated signs are equally effective indoors—especially in reception areas, lobbies, and boardrooms. Indoor applications don’t require weatherproofing, so you can explore a wider range of finishes like brushed metals, acrylic with coloured inserts, or mounted signage on timber or glass panels. Many clients use them to create a high-end branded focal point when clients enter the business.
Yes, we regularly work with clients’ existing branding assets. If you provide a high-resolution vector file (such as an AI, EPS or PDF), we can replicate your logo exactly, matching your brand colours and font specifications. If you need help preparing artwork or want to refine the look of your signage, our in-house design team can assist. We’ll also provide a digital proof so you can visualise how the signage will appear in your space before we proceed to fabrication.
