Glass Signs: A Touch of Class In Signages   by Matt Michaels

A signage is a visual representation to display information for an intended audience. It is usually a manifestation of places or names or positions. A signage can be in the form of banner; billboard; murals; posters; plastic, neon, paper, and glass signs. It can be placed outside or inside an establishment.

Glass signs are usually indoor signs and are generally used in reception areas, retail-point-of-sale signage, toilet, and direction and entrance signs. They can also be name plaques which can be mounted on the wall or even on glass doors. They can also be bound in concrete or any other surfaces.
