Molded / Cast Polyester Sign-blanks
Signblasters and Classic Signs is probably the only custom/production sign company in the USA that is capable of creating a master and mold, and then casting HDU or polyester sign blanks in-house on a daily basis.
Giving us the capability to duplicate the original molded sign blank in quantities; not only very cost-effectively, but also from either long-lasting HDU or almost indestructible polyester.
Below is a list of some of the materials that our molded and cast sign blanks emulate (down to a microscopic level). The material we make our molds from is so accurate, if you poured it onto a newspaper, let it set, then cast either the HDU or the polyester on it, you would be able to read the newsprint in the cast item.
Molds made and Cast from:
Wood:
- Poplar or pine sanded smooth but you can still see the grain.
- sandblasted Redwood (all heart, clear vertical grain).
- Greenwood. That is wood that has not been dried, so that when it is worked and shaped it has the look of driftwood or wood that has been eroded by nature.

The Pink is a silicone rubber mold made from the sandblasted sign.
The green is a cast and fully painted polyester sign
Metal:
- The sign on the right was taken from an original cast iron road sign in a cemetery and reproduced in polyester. It is double-faced
- For instance, a
piece of iron that was hand-beaten and weathered to form a strap for an old door that was washed up on a beach. - Two horsemen originally cast in bronze
Sandblasted HDU
- HDU (stone texture background) This is useful if you want to match existing sandblasted HDU signs but require something much stronger, or if you require numerous signs and want to save a lot of money.
Sandblasted "Extiria" board
- One of our clients already had numerous street and traffic signs made from sandblasted Extiria board obtained from another company but realized they could save a lot of money by using our molded polyester signs. They did however want to keep the look of what they already had. So we made masters from the same material and then cast the sign blanks in solid polyester. They now have signs that look exactly like their existing signage but now it will last for decades and they save for example; over $60.00 on each stop sign. We still use the Extiria board for one-off custom signs.
Stone
- From concrete to marble and everything in between.
Our molded generic range of cast sign blanks can be finished and lettered for you to your specifications, or we can send you the primed sign blank for you to finish.
