Signs of Metal

Customization help

How personalization works on Signs of Metal: your text, cut from steel, powder coated, and shipped from Indiana — made to order after you pay.

On the product page

From catalog design to your cut

Most personalization happens right on the product — no separate form for standard name and number signs.

  1. Choose a design

    Browse house numbers, nameplates, address plaques, business marks, and outdoor wall signs. Open the product that fits your wall.

  2. Pick size & finish

    Select inch size and powder-coat color on the product page. Unavailable pairs are turned off so you only see what we can cut.

  3. Type your text

    When the product has a personalization field, enter the name, number, date, or short line exactly as you want it laser-cut — within that design’s character and size limits.

  4. Proof, then pay

    Check spelling twice. After you order, we typically start production within 1–2 business days. What you typed is what we cut.

Before you pay

Simple tips that look better on the wall

  • Pick size and finish first — some combinations are not available together.
  • Shorter names and numbers look cleaner on smaller sizes (8″–12″).
  • Stick to the characters the product form allows; special symbols may be simplified for cutting.
  • Match capitalization the way you want it on the wall — we cut as typed.
  • Leave spaces and punctuation only if you want them in the metal.

After you order

Production, shipping & remakes

  • Production is typically 1–2 business days, then UPS (primary), USPS where UPS can’t deliver, or FedEx for expedited 2-day.
  • Custom metal signs are not returnable — we cannot restock a personalized cut.
  • Damage in transit or our mistakes (wrong size, finish, or text we cut incorrectly) are remade free within 30 days.
  • Spelling you entered wrong after payment is usually not covered — proofread before checkout.

What we cut

Your text, inside the design’s limits

Personalization is the name, house number, date, or short line the product asks for. We laser-cut that text into the design you chose, within the character and size limits shown on that page. Longer names often need a larger size so the letterforms stay clear from the street.

One-of-a-kind

Need more than the catalog field?

If a catalog design is close but not quite right — different layout, logo mark, or fully custom dimensions — use Custom work. Design help is free; you pay only the product price. Send size, text, finish, and a logo or sketch and we’ll confirm what we can cut. Request custom design
