Sign standoff mounts offer a clean, professional way to display signage, nameplates, directories and informational panels. Their floating effect adds depth and dimension to any sign, making it stand out—literally and visually. Whether mounted on glass, drywall or wood, standoffs enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Crafted from durable materials like aluminum or stainless steel, our standoffs are designed for longevity in both indoor and outdoor environments. They’re ideal for corporate offices, galleries, retail stores and public buildings seeking a high-end, contemporary signage solution.
We offer a refined selection of sign standoff mounts that are thoughtfully sized and finished to meet the most common signage applications. With a focus on quality over quantity, each standoff is crafted for dependable performance and a clean modern appearance.
Available in three premium finishes—Chrome, Satin and Brushed Stainless Steel—our mounts are well-suited for a wide range of materials including acrylic, glass and metal panels. Choose from several size options designed to provide the right depth and visual balance for small to medium-sized signage.
Sign standoffs are designed to simplify the installation process without compromising stability. Each set includes the mounting caps, barrels and necessary hardware such as screws and wall anchors. Just drill your panel, attach the barrels to the wall, align your sign and screw on the caps.
We provide step-by-step installation guides and recommendations for material thickness and spacing. Our team can also assist with pre-drilling and finishing services if you’re ordering signage from us directly—ensuring a perfect fit every time.
Standoff mounts are widely used in interior and exterior environments. They’re perfect for lobby signs, office directories, wayfinding systems, museum exhibits and even outdoor signage in sheltered areas. The clean spacing between the wall and the sign allows lighting and shadows to create a visually dynamic presentation.
Architects, interior designers and brand managers choose standoffs for their clean lines and professional finish. Combined with UV-printed or CNC-cut panels, standoff mounts deliver a polished, permanent look for any setting.
Need help with choosing the right standoff system? Our experienced team is here to help with product selection, design considerations and material compatibility. We also offer complete signage production and finishing services, making us your one-stop solution for professional display systems.

CAD & eProject Manager
When you meet Bruce you automatically know he is a seasoned professional in the reprographics industry. Starting out as a driver for Hughes Owens Printing in 1978, he eventually transitioned to Trimen Blueprinting where he acted as a reprographics technician for 13 years. With the onset of the digital era in 2000, TR Trades hired Bruce as CAD Manager. Since then he has been an invaluable asset to the company and anyone who has questions regarding CAD plotting. When Bruce is not overseeing others in the CAD department, he spends countless hours troubleshooting client issues, unearthing customer print errors, and providing eProject software support. He is regularly looked to for printing advice by both coworkers and clients.
Bruce is also well versed in troubleshooting onsite issues and participating in client presentations, having assisted Carla and TR sales staff in many client meetings. If you’re looking for a history lesson on the print industry or if you want to optimize your drawings for print, you’ll want to call on Bruce. Many may not know, but Bruce is a musician at heart! He originally studied engineering and math, eventually realizing it was not the career path he wished to pursue. Following this, Bruce went on to complete both a music program and a piano technician program through Douglas College. During his spare time, you’ll find him creating music or acting as a vocalist in several bands. When he is not playing the guitar and recording music, you can find Bruce tinkering around on one of his computers or watching hockey.
