Office Signs in Los Angeles

Office signs tell visitors which floor, which hallway and which door. We design custom office signs as one matching set: suite and door plaques, directories, hallway arrows, glass lettering and the lobby logo. Panels, vinyl and non-lit letters are made in our Sun Valley shop, and you see the set on photos of your own office first.

A straight-on photo of the wall or door is enough. Measurements help but are optional. Free: 1 mockup + 1 round of changes per location for business-sign requests. Extra rounds are billed.

What office signs cover

Office signs take a visitor from the building entrance to the right desk. With indoor business signs, a matching set matters more than any single piece: a black plaque next to a silver arrow looks like two different companies.

We design custom indoor signs for Los Angeles offices as one family, for law and accounting firms, medical and dental suites, real estate offices and shared floors from Van Nuys to Pasadena.

  • Lobby logo

    Your name behind the front desk, in dimensional letters, an acrylic panel or halo-lit letters. It sets the look the rest of the set follows.

  • Building directory

    Tenants, suites and floors on one board by the entrance or the elevators. Fixed names, or one strip per tenant so a move-out doesn't mean a new board.

  • Hallway arrows

    Suite ranges and arrows at elevator lobbies and corridor corners: suites 101–124 this way, restrooms that way.
    Wayfinding signage

  • Suite and door signs

    A suite number at the entrance to your space, then office door signs for each room inside: names, titles, conference rooms, the break room.

  • Glass doors and walls

    Your name and suite number in cut vinyl on the glass door, and frosted film on conference rooms and offices that need privacy.

Door and suite signs

Office door signs and suite plaques

A door sign answers one question: is this the right room? It hangs beside the door at eye level and is read from a step or two away. So it needs plain lettering, strong contrast and a finish that doesn't throw glare back from the ceiling lights.

Most custom office door signs are acrylic or aluminum composite panels. The lettering is UV-printed, cut in vinyl, or laser-cut from a second layer of acrylic for a raised look. Panels mount on metal standoffs, flat with sign-mounting tape, or as a two-layer plaque with a slot for a printed name strip. The suite sign at the entrance to your space is usually larger and carries your logo.

Fixed, changeable or on the glass?

Three ways to put a name on an office door. The right one depends on how often the names change and what the door is made of.

A sign that names a permanent room, like a restroom or a room number, has its own accessibility rules. See the accessibility note below.

Buildings with more than one suite

Directories and hallway signs

In a building with more than a few suites, visitors need three answers in order: which floor, which way, which door. A directory in the main lobby answers the first. A floor directory facing the elevator answers the second, with suite ranges and arrows. The suite sign answers the third.

We design all three as one system, with the same typeface, colors and numbering, so nobody has to guess whether “Suite 210” and “210” are the same place. For whole buildings, campuses and parking structures, see wayfinding signage. Directory boards with changeable tenant strips are covered on the lobby signs page.

Accessibility note

Which office door signs need Braille?

The federal 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design sort office signs into three groups:

  • Signs that name a permanent room or space, such as a restroom, a room number or a floor number: raised uppercase characters, duplicated in Braille (216.2, 703.2). At a door, it mounts on the latch side, and the baselines of the raised text sit between 48 and 60 inches above the floor (703.4).
  • Signs that point the way or give information, such as a hallway arrow: a non-glare finish and characters that contrast with the background, without Braille (216.3, 703.5).
  • Exempt from these sign rules: building directories, occupant names, and company names and logos (216.1).

A suite sign that shows both the suite number and your firm's name mixes two groups: the number is a permanent designation, the name is not. One common answer is two pieces: a tactile room sign by the latch, and a name plate or glass lettering that's easy to swap.

Information, not an approval. Your architect or building manager confirms which federal and California rules apply to each door.

What moves the price of office signs

One acrylic plaque and a 40-door building package are different jobs. Published price ranges for office signs mix the two, so we don't show one here. Five things move the number:

  • How many signs, and how many are alike. Twenty door signs in one layout usually cost less each than twenty different designs.
  • The build. A printed flat panel costs less than layered or laser-cut acrylic, and a fixed plaque less than a two-layer changeable one.
  • Size. Suite signs and directories use far more material than door plaques.
  • Matching what's there. Copying an existing building standard can mean sampling colors and lettering first.
  • Installation. How many floors, the wall surfaces, and whether the building only allows work after hours.

Made in Sun Valley

Plaques, panels and glass lettering made on Lankershim

Door plaques, suite numbers and directory panels for your office are routed, laser-cut and UV-printed, and glass lettering is cut from vinyl, at Angels Print, 8511 Lankershim Blvd in Sun Valley. Every piece is laid out in one file before cutting, so the suite number by the elevator and the plaque on the last door share the same color, the same typeface and the same corner radius.

Office sign questions

Still deciding? Call (818) 806-9006 or text a photo and ask.

Can new door signs match the ones already in our building?
Usually, yes. Send a close-up of an existing sign and a photo from a step back, with a tape measure in the shot if you can. We match the size, colors, lettering and mounting as closely as the materials allow, or design a new set that replaces the old one floor by floor.
We lease our space. Will the signs damage the walls?
Standoffs and screws leave a few small holes that patch easily when you move out. Tape-mounted plaques leave no holes but can pull paint when they come off. Vinyl on glass peels off. Tell us what your lease allows, and the mounting is planned around it.
Can the names on office door signs be changed later?
Yes, if you choose changeable name plates. The plaque stays on the wall and each name is a printed strip that slides in behind a clear front, so a new hire or a renamed room means a new strip. Fixed plaques look cleaner but need a new plaque when a name changes.
Do office door signs have to be ADA compliant?
It depends on what the sign names. A room number, a floor number or a restroom is a permanent designation, so its sign needs raised characters and Braille under the 2010 ADA Standards (216.2). Name plates, company names and logos, and building directories are exempt (216.1). Hallway arrows need non-glare lettering that contrasts with the background, but no Braille (216.3). Details are in the accessibility note above. General information, not an approval.
Do office signs need a permit in Los Angeles?
Often, for anything people can see from outside. The LADBS Sign Manual lists a permit for every new sign in the City of LA, with a few exceptions such as small unlit ground signs. Glass lettering counts as a window sign when it sits within 6 ft of a window or door and can be seen from outside. The window signs on a window may add up to no more than 10% of its area, and one application can cover every window sign on the building. Permits for lit signs go only to C-10 or C-45 licensed contractors. When a permit is needed, our licensed sign-contractor partner files it and we prepare the drawings. For door and hallway signs inside, ask the property manager for the building's sign standards too. Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena have their own rules: see the Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena sign permit guides. Information, not an approval.
Who installs office signs?
A licensed sign-contractor partner mounts the signs. We make them and coordinate the visit. Your quote lists the installer's CSLB license number. If the building allows work only after hours or wants the visit booked through the property manager, put that on your request so the quote covers it.
