Custom ANSI safety signs
Durable, CNC-engraved HDPE signage for factories, shops and facilities.
When a printed sign will not last, use a message that is cut into the material. Northshore Composite Manufacturing machines custom safety signs from two-color HDPE sign board. CNC engraving exposes a contrasting core, so the lettering, symbols and borders are part of the sign—not a surface-applied print.
Engraved, not printed
The message is machined into the two-color material instead of applied as ink or vinyl.
Made from HDPE
A non-porous material suited to moisture, impact and everyday industrial use.
Built to your message
Custom text, borders, symbols, mounting holes and shapes can be CNC machined.

Finished size: Width and height, plus any thickness requirement.
Wording and layout: Exact message, approved signal word, symbol or a photo of the sign being replaced.
Colors: Face color, engraved color and any site standard that must be matched.
Mounting: Hole size and location, adhesive requirement or other installation details.
Environment: Indoor or outdoor use and any unusual exposure the material must handle.
Ready for a quote?

Frequently asked questions
Can you make custom wording?
Yes. Send the exact wording, size, colors and any symbol or layout your facility requires.
Are the signs printed?
No. The lettering and graphics are CNC engraved through the face color to expose a contrasting core.
Do you make small quantities?
Yes. Northshore specializes in custom and small-batch production.
Can you match an existing sign?
Send a straight-on photo, dimensions and the approved wording. Include any color, mounting-hole or layout requirements that must match.
Are the signs ANSI compliant?
ANSI Z535-style layouts are available. Compliance depends on the correct signal word, color, symbol, message, location and application. Your facility’s authorized safety representative should approve the final content and placement before production.
What should I include with my request?
Quantity, finished size, exact wording, color combination, mounting details and any artwork or reference photo.
