When you drive around Sarasota, you’ll spot signs we’ve designed, printed, and installed. From storefronts to vehicles, our work is everywhere. But what goes into making those signs? Let’s take you behind the scenes.
Full In-House Capabilities
At Sarasota Sign Shop, everything happens under one roof. We don’t outsource. That means faster turnaround times, better quality control, and a smoother process for you. Here’s what we handle in-house:
- Custom graphic design
- Wide-format printing
- Contour cutting
- Laminating
- On-site installation
You meet with our team once, and we take care of the rest. Whether you’re looking for storefront signage, a vehicle wrap, or a custom display, we build it from start to finish.
Our Equipment: Precision and Power
We use top-tier equipment to ensure every job meets the highest standard.
EPSON V7000 Flatbed Printer
This is our workhorse for rigid materials. We use it to print directly onto:
- Acrylic
- PVC
- Aluminum composite panels
- Wood
The V7000 delivers sharp images, vivid colors, and white ink for layered effects. It’s also RoHS compliant and uses recyclable inks. We use it for real estate signs, business panels, and more.
HP Latex Printer
This printer uses water-based inks and eco-friendly technology. It’s ideal for:
- Banners
- Window graphics
- Wall murals
- Vinyl prints
It produces high-resolution graphics that are durable indoors and outdoors. With fast drying times, we can move right into cutting and laminating without delay.
Contour Cutter
Once the graphics are printed, we use our contour cutter for precise trimming. This is especially useful for:
- Decals
- Labels
- Vehicle graphics
It reads registration marks and cuts with extreme accuracy. If you need custom shapes or edge-to-edge designs, this is the tool that gets it done.
Laminator
For long-lasting protection, we laminate most prints. This adds:
- UV resistance
- Scratch protection
- Extended outdoor life
It’s a vital step for vehicle wraps and outdoor signage, ensuring your investment holds up in Florida’s sun and rain.
Real Projects, Real People
Our team handles every part of the process. You’ll see us designing in Illustrator, loading media into the printer, trimming edges, and installing signs on ladders and lifts.
We’ve created signs for:
- Restaurants
- Retail stores
- Local contractors
- Nonprofits
Each project is custom. No templates. No shortcuts.
Vehicle Wraps: Mobile Advertising That Works
One of our most popular services is vehicle wraps. If you want to turn your car, truck, or van into a mobile billboard, we can help.
Our Process:
- Design: We map your vehicle and create a wrap that fits every panel.
- Print: We use our HP Latex printer for full-color, fade-resistant prints.
- Lamination: Every wrap is laminated to protect against UV and wear.
- Installation: Our team installs wraps with precision, using heat guns and squeegees to smooth out every surface.
We wrap:
- Work trucks
- Delivery vans
- Food trailers
- Company fleets
The Sarasota Difference
We know Sarasota. We’ve been printing signs here for over 15 years. We understand local zoning laws, HOA guidelines, and permitting processes. We also know how coastal weather affects materials. That’s why we only use products that hold up against sun, salt, and humidity.
When you search for custom signs Sarasota, you’ll find many options. But not all shops are the same. Some outsource printing. Some don’t install. Some just sell pre-made signs.
We’re different. We offer:
- Full control from concept to completion
- Premium equipment and materials
- Local expertise
- Fast turnaround

Most of our business comes from repeat clients and referrals. Here’s why:
