Custom Sign Pricing & Quote Factors
How much does it cost to make a custom sign in Toronto?
Custom sign prices vary based on several core variables: overall dimensions, structural materials (aluminum, acrylic, masonry), lighting choice (LED box vs. channel letter halo), design complexity, mounting requirements, municipal permits, and installation logistics (e.g., bucket truck access).
A temporary banner or simple interior acrylic panel costs considerably less than custom illuminated channel letters, a masonry monument sign, or a multi-tenant roadside pylon sign.
| Sign Category | Estimated Starting Range | Key Cost Drivers |
|---|---|---|
| Interior & Lobby Signs | $500 – $2,500+ | Material selection (acrylic vs. metal), dimensional layering, interior mounting style. |
| Storefront & Building Signage | $1,500 – $5,000+ | Dimensions, non-illuminated vs. illuminated LED channel letters, raceway mounting. |
| Backlit & Channel Letters | $2,500 – $8,500+ | Single-face vs. halo illumination, electrical connections, high-reach installation. |
| Vehicle Graphics & Wraps | $400 – $3,500+ | Spot graphics vs. full vehicle wrap, vehicle scale, vinyl grade (cast vs. polymeric). |

How AGC Creates and Installs Custom Signs
How do you get custom signs made?
Getting a custom sign manufactured starts by sharing your brand guidelines, preferred sign type, project budget, and installation address with an experienced sign manufacturer. AGC Signs handles the entire lifecycle—from site assessment and municipal permitting to in-house manufacturing and final installation.

Design & Scaled Mock-ups: Our creative team develops accurate graphic proofs showing dimensions, material finishes, and how the sign will look on your building facade.

Professional Installation & Ongoing Maintenance: Our experienced installers securely mount your signage, complete electrical connections, and remain available for future maintenance and bulb/LED servicing.
What is the famous Toronto Sign located in downtown Toronto?
The iconic, brightly illuminated TORONTO sign is a landmark installed at Nathan Phillips Square outside Toronto City Hall (100 Queen St W).
While it is a public art installation and municipal photo spot rather than a commercial business sign, it demonstrates how distinctive, illuminated dimensional signage can define a physical space and build immediate brand recognition.
