In the restaurant business, you need two things to stand out from the competition.

1. A menu that appeals to your targeted demographic in ways that your closest competitor cannot.
2. Signage that differentiates you from other eateries in your area. 

While the first requirement is manageable with market research and the involvement of menu planning experts in your niche, the second requisite can prove to be a tall order. Of course, when you think outside the box, it is possible to set your business apart from those around it. Naturally, we are talking about sandblasted restaurant signs.

What Makes the Sandblasting Process so Unique?

When compared to a channel letter or box cabinet building sign, the sandblasted marker presents with an unmistakable artistic flair. It shows a distinct brand message that is suitable for a broad range of diners, upscale venues, and casual dining locales. Whether you run a breakfast-only restaurant, specialize in more rustic fare, or offer fish and steaks as the staples of your menu, this manufacturing method can do your products justice.

Before the sandblasting process, we select a high-density urethane (HDU) board that we shape according to your specifications. Next, we mask off the areas that you want to see presented in a three-dimensional manner; we now start the process. Then, we work on the background texture that helps to brand your eatery’s ambiance further. Finally, we apply paint that can feature gradient color changes, highlight certain depths even more, or help your presentation to stand out because of the sheer variety of colors we employ. This is not something we can do with other building signs.

Signage Examples for a Bakery

If, for example, you run a bakery, the sandblasting process can create a wide variety of unique signage solutions.

• Building sign. Select your shape with care. Thinking outside the box is always a good idea. If most bakeries in the area feature standard dimensional letters or rectangular cabinet signs, opt for a round shape that helps you to stand out. Mount it directly to your façade or consider the use of an ornate wrought iron arm that will let us install the product as a dual-sided shingle at a right angle to the building’s façade.
• Menu boards. To allow for occasional changes to the menu and price structure, we recommend the creation of a sandblasted menu board featuring your bakery’s name, logo, and ornamental style elements. In the middle, we install an acrylic board that we can then treat with an imprinted vinyl overlay that features your dishes and costs.

By the way, all these suggestions can be adapted to your particular type of restaurant quite easily. In fact, our graphic artists can also create interior sandblasted restaurant signs for any number of uses.
