Gold plated signage comes in two forms, and the difference is more than cosmetic. On aluminium, the gold is a genuine plated finish on a thicker metal base, giving the sign real weight and a finish that holds up as a long-term fixture. On acrylic, we apply a gold material sticker to a thinner base, which gives you that same gold look at a lower cost and a lighter build, a common choice for interior signage that doesn’t need the heft of metal.

Spas, salons, boutique retail, and hospitality brands are the clients who ask for this most, anywhere the signage itself needs to signal premium positioning before a customer walks in. Aluminium tends to suit exterior or high-traffic entrance signage, while acrylic works well for interior reception walls and smaller nameplates.

Either base can be paired with raised lettering or a mixed-material look; gold against a dark backdrop is one of our most requested combinations. Tell us the space and the look you’re after, and we’ll recommend which base makes sense for it.
