Three-dimensional signage systems are a type of signage that has a three-dimensional form or shape, rather than being flat or two-dimensional from digitals prints or cut lettering. This type of signage is designed to attract attention and create a visual impact, making it a popular choice for businesses and organizations looking to enhance their branding and visibility.

Three-dimensional signage can be made from a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, foam, and acrylic. These materials can be cut and shaped to create a wide range of shapes and designs, from simple lettering and logos to more complex structures and sculptures. Wise Studios have designed, created, installed and maintained numerous 3d signs for a wide range of customers across New Zealand and as a consequence knows what 3D signage solution will work best for your business requirements.

Making your brand stand out

One of the advantages of three-dimensional signage is its ability to be illuminated, either from internal illumination using LED lights, or by external backlit lighting giving a halo lighting effect. This can make the sign more visible in low light conditions or at night, making it a popular choice for businesses that are open during evening hours.

Another advantage of three-dimensional signage is its durability. Because it is made from sturdy materials, it can withstand weather conditions such as wind, rain, and sun exposure, making it suitable for outdoor use. Additionally, three-dimensional signage can be coated with protective finishes to further enhance its longevity.

Overall, three-dimensional signage is a versatile and effective way to create a strong visual impact and enhance brand recognition. Its durability and ability to be illuminated make it a popular choice for businesses and organizations looking to create a lasting impression.

The manufacturing process for three-dimensional signs can vary depending on the materials used and the complexity of the design. Here are some general steps that may be involved in the manufacturing of a three-dimensional sign:

  1. Design: The first step in manufacturing a three-dimensional sign is to create a design. At Wise Studios, we use our in-house graphic designers and industrial designers to create a sign that not only looks amazing but has been designed with its construction in mind. The design will take into account the brand, messaging, and visual impact that the sign should convey.
  2. Material Selection: Once the design is finalized, the sign maker will choose the appropriate materials for the sign, be it acrylic, aluminium, glass or other materials. This will depend on factors such as the desired size, shape, and colour of the sign, as well as its intended use and location.
  3. Cutting and Shaping: The materials are then cut and shaped to match the design. This can be done using a variety of tools, including CNC router, laser cutter, and saws. The materials may be cut into individual letters, shapes, or other forms that will make up the final sign.
  4. Assembly: Once the individual components have been cut and shaped, they are assembled together to create the final sign. This may involve welding, gluing, or fastening the components together. The sign maker may also add any necessary hardware for hanging or mounting the sign.
  5. Finishing: Finally, the sign is finished with any necessary coatings or finishes to protect it from the elements and enhance its visual impact. This may include painting, polishing, or applying a clear protective coat.

The manufacturing process for three-dimensional signs can involve a range of specialized tools and techniques. Skilled sign makers and fabricators are often involved in the process, working to create a sign that meets the client’s specific needs and specifications.
