Custom Metal Letter Frame Signs – Framed Dimensional Letters & Logos
Custom metal letter frame signs for storefronts, offices, hotels and architectural projects. Durable framed metal construction with premium brushed, painted and powder-coated finishes. Factory-direct OEM fabrication with worldwide shipping.
Custom metal letter frame signs combine precision-cut dimensional metal letters with a solid metal frame construction, delivering a clean, architectural look that reads clearly from a distance. The framed assembly adds depth, structure and a premium finished edge, making these signs a versatile choice for storefronts, office lobbies, hotels, commercial buildings and wayfinding applications.
Product Overview
Metal letter frame signs are built around a rigid metal frame that surrounds each letter, logo or complete brand set. The frame forms a continuous, finished border that gives the letterform extra definition and a distinctive dimensional profile — a look that flat-cut letters cannot achieve. Each sign can be produced as individual letters, logos, numbers, or full storefront letter sets, in a wide range of sizes, fonts, materials, colors and surface finishes.
From the front, the letters deliver a crisp, professional appearance; from the side, the frame profile adds depth and substance that makes the brand identity feel permanent and well-constructed. The construction is inherently durable, with metal frames that resist warping, impact and weathering in both indoor and protected outdoor environments.

Materials and Construction
Metal letter frame signs are fabricated from high-quality metal — typically stainless steel or aluminum — precision-cut and formed to the approved artwork, then welded or assembled into a rigid frame structure. The frame is finished with brushed, polished, painted or powder-coated surfaces, and can be mounted with studs, standoffs or a backing panel depending on the wall surface and design preference.
Choosing between aluminum and stainless steel depends on the installation environment and the desired appearance. For a detailed material comparison, see our guide: Sign Materials Compared: Acrylic vs PVC vs Aluminum vs Stainless Steel vs Coroplast.
