2D Blade Signs

Bracket-Mounted Double-Sided Projecting Storefront Signage

2D Blade Signs, also known as Projecting Wall Signs, are perpendicular wall-mounted signage systems designed to extend outward from a building façade. This orientation maximizes pedestrian visibility from both directions of foot traffic, making them ideal for retail streets, shopping districts, and commercial storefronts.

Non-illuminated and structurally durable, blade signs offer a cost-effective branding solution for businesses seeking high street-level impact.

What Is a Blade / Projecting Sign?

A blade sign consists of:

• A wall-mounted bracket

• A welded metal support rod

• A flat metal sign panel

• Mounting hardware

The bracket is securely fixed to the wall, with a metal rod welded into the bracket structure. The sign panel may either:

• Be fixed directly to the support rod

• Hang from the rod using metal chains

Because the sign projects outward at a 90-degree angle from the building, it remains visible to pedestrians approaching from either direction.

Key Features

• Bracket-mounted wall projection design

• Double-sided printed display (single-sided optional)

• Fabricated from 2mm metal plate

• Powder-coated or painted finish

• Weather-resistant for outdoor use

• Custom shapes available

• Strong welded rod support

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments

• Non-illuminated configuration (no wiring required)

Construction & Materials

Structural Components

• Wall-mounted bracket

• Welded metal support rod

• 2mm thick metal sign plate

• Heavy-duty mounting hardware

Material Options

• 2mm Mild Steel

• 2mm Aluminum Plate

Finish Options

• Powder-coated finish for exterior durability

• Painted finish

• Custom color matching available

The 2mm metal plate provides structural rigidity while preventing bending or warping over time.

Graphics & Display

Blade signs typically feature:

• Double-sided printed graphics (standard configuration)

• Single-sided display (optional)

Printing methods include:

• Direct digital print

• Vinyl-applied graphics

Because they are non-illuminated, blade signs rely on natural daylight or external lighting sources for visibility.

4. Secure bracket firmly to wall

5. Attach welded rod assembly

6. Mount or hang sign panel

7. Verify proper level alignment

No electrical wiring is required, making installation straightforward.

Professional installation is recommended for masonry or high-load applications.

Typical Applications
