When it comes to helping your clients make a lasting impression, custom wood signage remains one of the most timeless and durable solutions in the signage industry. At CARV, we exclusively produce cedar wood signs for sign companies seeking high-quality, weather-resistant options that elevate branding for retail stores, cabins, offices, and beyond. Crafted with care and consistency, our cedar signs are built for longevity and designed to integrate seamlessly into your signage packages.

Why Wood Signs Still Work in Modern Branding

Modern business signs often lean toward digital or synthetic materials, but personalized wooden signs continue to hold their ground, appealing to customers with their unique charm. They offer unmatched warmth, character, and a tactile charm that plastic or metal can’t match.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: The natural grain, rustic tones, and handcrafted texture add depth and charm.
  • Versatile Design flexibility: From engraved wood signs to custom-cut shapes, the options are endless.
  • Durability: With the right materials and sealing, wood signs outdoors can withstand harsh elements for years.

Cedar Sign Customization Options for Trade Clients

We understand that your clients’ needs vary. That’s why we provide versatile options while maintaining manufacturing simplicity. While we only work with cedar, we offer several ways to tailor the product:

  • Engraved text and logos for lasting definition and texture
  • Custom-cut shapes and thicknesses to match unique layouts or branding
  • Paint or stain-ready surfaces for your in-house finishing preferences
  • Wall-mounted or freestanding builds suited for storefronts or directional signage

Weather-Resistant Solutions for Outdoor Signage

CARV’s cedar signs are treated with professional-grade UV and moisture sealants, ensuring your clients’ signage investments stand the test of time, whether installed on busy storefronts, rural cabins, or high-traffic commercial zones.

  • Built-in features for outdoor durability
  • Pre-sealed cedar planks for maximum protection
  • Optional mounting prep for posts, walls, or panels
  • Thick board construction for structural integrity

Engraved Cedar Signs: Adding Texture and Depth

Engraved cedar signage is a go-to for businesses that want a refined, handcrafted look. We precision-cut each order to spec using CNC and traditional techniques, allowing you to offer tactile, brand-aligned signage to your clients.

Designed for Trade Use, Indoor and Outdoor Applications

Our cedar signs are ideal for a range of use cases that your signage company can service. Whether you’re packaging indoor reception signs or outdoor location branding, we provide base products that you can finish or brand as needed.

Custom Wood Cabin Signs for Lodges and Retreats

For sign companies serving vacation destinations, we manufacture custom-cut cedar signs ideal for mountain retreats, campsites, and Airbnb-style rentals. These signs are engraved with cabin names, nature-inspired icons, or client logos and are treated for year-round durability.
