Choosing the Right Storefront Sign

Channel letters (LED signs)

Separate lit letters on your sign band. The most popular choice for plazas on Wilson, Sheppard, Finch and Yonge.

Lightbox signs

One illuminated cabinet with a printed face. A lower cost way to get a lit sign, and easy to update later with a new face.

Printed panels

Full colour aluminum panels with no lighting. The most budget friendly option, great for industrial units and back entrances.

Window graphics

Cut vinyl lettering, frosted film and one way vision film to show your hours, services and brand on the glass.

Before You Order: Landlord and Permit

Most North York plazas have sign rules from the landlord that control size, type and sometimes colour. Ask your landlord for the sign criteria before you design anything. It saves time and money.

Most exterior signs in Toronto also need a sign permit from the City. We prepare the drawings, tell you what your sign needs and can help with the application. Permits can take a few weeks, so plan ahead if you have an opening date. Learn more about our sign permit service.

Common Questions

What is the most popular storefront sign in North York?

Channel letters, often called LED signs. Each letter is built separately and lit from inside, so your name is clear day and night.

Do I need a permit for a storefront sign in North York?

Most exterior signs in Toronto need a sign permit, and almost every plaza needs landlord approval. We prepare the drawing and can help with the application.

How long does a storefront sign take?

It depends on the sign and the permit. We give you a clear timeline with your quote. Window graphics and printed panels are much faster than channel letters.

Can you replace just the face of my old lightbox?

Yes. If the box is in good shape, a new printed face is a quick and budget friendly way to rebrand.
