Box signs, also called cabinet signs, are the lit rectangular signs you see on storefronts, poles, and building faces. At Unisignco we build and install custom box signs for businesses across Texas and Louisiana.
They are a workhorse of commercial signage: durable, highly visible day or night, and flexible enough to carry a single logo or a full tenant panel.
What Are Box Signs?
A box sign is an enclosed cabinet with a printed or routed face, lit from the inside so the graphic glows. The cabinet houses the lighting and hardware, which keeps everything protected and gives the sign a clean, finished edge.
Box signs can be illuminated or non-illuminated and mount on a wall, a pole, or as a freestanding structure, which makes them one of the most adaptable options for exterior identity.
Types of Box Signs
Wall-Mounted Cabinet Signs
Fixed flush to a building face for storefront and building identity.
Pole and Pylon Cabinets
Raised on a pole so the sign reads from the road and over parked cars.
Double-Sided Box Signs
Faced on both sides so traffic sees the message from either direction.
Tenant Panel Cabinets
A single cabinet divided into panels for multiple businesses in one center.
Benefits of Box Signage
Visible Day and Night
Internal LED lighting keeps your name readable after dark and through overcast weather.
Durable, Enclosed Build
The cabinet protects the lighting and hardware from weather and wear.
Flexible Mounting
Wall, pole, or freestanding, so the sign fits your site rather than the other way around.
Easy to Update
Faces can be reprinted and swapped when your branding or tenant mix changes.
Design, Manufacturing, and Installation Under One Roof
With box signs, everything happens under one roof. The crew that draws your sign is the crew that builds it and hangs it, so nothing gets lost between vendors.
Design
Our creative team develops the look, scale, and layout around your brand and your space.
Manufacturing
We handle sign manufacturing in-house, using quality materials so the finished piece matches what you approved.
Installation
Our installation crews place and secure the finished sign on site.
Repairs and Maintenance
When a sign fades or takes damage, repairs and maintenance keep it looking intentional instead of neglected.
Box Signs in Houston, Lafayette, and Across Texas and Louisiana
We work throughout Texas and Louisiana from Santa Fe, Texas and Scott, Louisiana, which puts our team close to the region’s larger cities and the towns in between.
We regularly build and install box signs for businesses in Houston, Lafayette, and the surrounding areas. Working locally means a site visit is a drive rather than a freight quote, and service after the job is just as straightforward.
