Sign Builders for Common Signs
Pick channel letters, a sign box, a pylon sign, wayfinding or a custom sign and enter its size. For channel letters that is the number of letters, the letter height and the return depth; for a cabinet, its width, height, depth and faces.
Customakr builds the workflow from those sizes, counting feet of return, square feet of face and letters, and issues the material to each operation. The geometry factors are starting assumptions you can change, not measurements of the artwork.
LED, Power Supplies and Circuits
For a lit sign, the illumination step counts LED modules from the stroke width and module spacing, or uses the figure from your LED supplier's layout. It also handles LED strip and neon flex by the foot.
- Power supplies sized with the headroom you choose, on 12 V or 24 V
- Line current at 120, 240, 277 or 347 V, from the supply's efficiency
- A circuit estimate from breaker size and planned loading
- A wire allowance on top of the measured run
- An electrical parts library you price yourself
Permits, Installation and the Rest of the Job
Sign design and proofs, site survey, permits, letter bending, trim cap, LED wiring, vinyl by the square foot, installation and footings are operations with your own times. Site electrical connection by a licensed electrician is passed through at their price, and electrical inspection can be added on lit work.
The circuit figures are a planning aid: your electrician and the local code decide the real circuits.
Small Jobs Too
Most sign shops also cut, engrave and print small jobs every day. Laser, CNC routing and vinyl work are quoted in the same app, with the same rates, so a nameplate and a storefront are both priced properly.
