What Are Cabinet Signs?

Cabinet signs, also called lightbox signs or box signs, are internally illuminated signs where your graphics are displayed on a translucent panel mounted inside a rectangular or shaped aluminum cabinet. LED lights inside the cabinet illuminate the graphics evenly, creating a bright, eye-catching display visible from long distances. Cabinet signs are one of the most cost-effective illuminated signage options available, making them extremely popular for franchise locations, gas stations, convenience stores, and multi-tenant shopping centers throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County.

Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided Cabinet Signs

Single-sided cabinet signs are mounted flat against a building wall or fascia, projecting your brand outward to approaching traffic. Double-sided cabinet signs are mounted perpendicular to the building on a pole or bracket, displaying your brand to traffic passing in both directions. Double-sided signs are particularly effective for businesses on busy corridors like US-1, Biscayne Boulevard, and Flagler Street where capturing traffic from both directions is critical. We also manufacture multi-sided cabinet signs for corner locations and freestanding pole signs for businesses set back from the road.

Graphic Options and Customization

The face of a cabinet sign can be customized in several ways. Flex-face signs use a tensioned vinyl graphic stretched across the cabinet opening — these are easy to update when rebranding or changing promotions. Polycarbonate-face signs use rigid panels with vinyl graphics applied to the surface — these are more durable and resistant to wind damage. Push-through letter signs feature individually cut acrylic letters that protrude through the cabinet face for a dimensional, channel-letter-like appearance at a lower cost. We can print full-color graphics, logos, and photographs on any face type using UV-stable inks that resist fading in Miami's intense sunlight.

LED Conversion and Energy Savings

If you have an existing cabinet sign with fluorescent tubes, we can convert it to LED illumination for significant energy savings and improved brightness. LED conversion typically reduces energy consumption by 40-60% while providing brighter, more even illumination with no warm-up time. LED modules also last 5-7 times longer than fluorescent tubes, dramatically reducing maintenance costs. We can often retrofit your existing cabinet with new LED modules and a new graphic face for a fraction of the cost of a completely new sign. This is a popular option for franchise locations that need to update their branding without replacing the entire sign structure.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Cabinet sign pricing depends on size, single vs. double-sided, face type, and mounting method. A typical single-sided wall-mounted cabinet sign (4ft x 8ft) costs between $2,000 and $5,000 including installation. Double-sided pole-mounted signs are more expensive due to the pole foundation and additional face. We provide free quotes with detailed breakdowns.

With UV-stable inks and quality vinyl, cabinet sign graphics typically last 5-7 years in Miami's climate before showing noticeable fading. Flex-face graphics can be replaced independently of the cabinet structure, making rebranding or seasonal updates affordable. We recommend replacing graphics every 5 years to maintain a fresh, professional appearance.
