Design & Engineering FAQs

Can you adapt our existing corporate brand guidelines for architectural signage?

Yes. We regularly work with national corporate brand books, translating digital PMS colors and vector logos into physical Matthews polyurethane paint formulas, 3M vinyl films, and engineered LED letter profiles.

What software do you use for shop drawings?

We utilize industry-standard CAD, SolidWorks, and CorelDRAW platforms, generating vector cut paths directly connected to our CNC routers and automated channel letter benders.
