Signage Services

Permitting

Yes, you need a special Sign Permit to erect or install a sign in Hawaii, except in certain narrow circumstance. There are other requirements to consider such as SMA or Flood Zone Assessments. We are very experienced in filing and obtaining sign permits of all types in all island jurisdictions. In Maui County alone we obtain somewhere north of 200 Sign Permits per year along with CSP’s, SMA’s, and Variances.

Design

Signage design is the critical element in all successful signage. We are graphic designers with a specialized knowledge of environmental graphics. We design your logo from the beginning with a view that (in addition to being an eye-catching brand identity) it must ultimately work as signage – whether applied to architecture, vehicle(s), or other environment.

Fabrication

Pacific Sign & Design has in house fabrication capabilities including complete wood shop with all wood working machines and processes, MIG & TIG welding with steel and aluminum, plastics and glass fabrication and etching. CNC machines include router, laser, and engraver. We can fabricate any type of sign that can be shipped in from the mainland, faster and with better quality.

We act as a Subcontractor for local and mainland Sign Companies, assisting with Surveys, Consulting, Permit Acquisition, Fabricating, Installing and Service. Please contact us for Wholesale Services Rates.

Installation

The best way to attract current and new clients and customers, is to catch their attention with the tried and true method of signage. Our services not only create custom designs using a varying number of sign materials, we also provide full installation capabilities in any location. Our expertise promises the safety and reliability of our installations, as well as compliance to all codes.

Repairs

All Signs require some maintenance to get the maximum life out of the investment but particularly Electric Signs require occasional repairs or upgrades. Older Electric Signs eventually need retrofits from Neon to LED or various lamp replacement.

Channel Letters

We are the only Sign Company that fabricates in house in the outer islands and our channel Bending Machine is the only one of its kind in Hawaii. All letters are illuminated with top brands of LED and supporting technology. Depths vary between 1″-8″ hence the “channel” description. Letters may be front face lit or “halo” or a combination of both. Other styles are available and can be custom made to suit any desired “look”.

Dimensional Letters

Dimensional letters are machine or laser cut from a variety of materials and can vary in thickness from 1/16″ to several inches thick. Not illuminated but Dimensional letters can be indirectly illuminated from a strip or flood lit source. Usually referred to as FCO (Flat Cut Out) Letters these can be made from several materials including Metal, Wood, Acrylic, and PVC. Letters can be finished in a variety of colors and pin or glue mounted to surface of sign or building.

Sand Blasted

Painted and/or varnished finish with a variety of effects including Gold, Silver, or Copper Leaf.

Banners

Promotional Signs can be printed or lettered on a special PVC banner fabric (designed to withstand wind loads) or other lightweight materials for window or interior applications. Outdoor Banners require a special Banner Permit in most jurisdictions with restrictions on length of display time.

Others

Hand lettering and calligraphy
The ultimate “Old School” technique for making signs, banners, and posters. Lettering is executed with Lettering Brushes on a variety of substrates including building, ships, glass, and vehicle bodies. A period look that is currently making a comeback and can be used to create Gold, Silver and Copper Leaf lettering on high end “Boutique” and Historical building applications.
