 What Is a Sandblasted Sign?

Sandblasted signs are created by masking specific areas of a panel, then using high-pressure sand to erode the exposed surfaces. This produces a textured background while leaving the masked elements—like letters, logos, or borders—raised in relief.


The result is a durable, elegant sign with depth, shadow, and character. Sandblasted signs are a popular choice for both businesses and communities seeking a handcrafted, traditional look.

Built to Handle the Elements

We protect our sandblasted signs with marine-grade primers, exterior-grade paints, and UV sealants—ensuring they resist moisture, sun damage, and cracking over time. Mounting hardware is rust-proof and rated for outdoor use.


Signs are fabricated and finished at our Gill, MA facility and installed professionally to ensure a long service life.

FAQs About Sandblasted Signs

  • How is a sandblasted sign different from a carved sign?

    Carved signs use routing or chiseling to create depth, while sandblasting erodes material with pressurized sand to create textured backgrounds and raised graphics.

  • Is HDU better than wood?

    HDU lasts longer and requires less maintenance than wood. However, wood offers natural grain patterns that some clients prefer.


  • Can sandblasted signs be painted in multiple colors?

    Absolutely. Send us your logo, and we’ll provide layout options, sizing, materials, and pricing.


  • Are these signs good for outdoor use?

    Absolutely. Both HDU and sealed wood are weather-treated for years of reliable outdoor performance.


  • What is the turnaround time for a sandblasted sign?

    Most signs are completed within 3–4 weeks, depending on complexity and weather conditions for painting and curing.
