Our Sign Services in Moss Landing

Moss Landing sits at the intersection of commercial fishing, marine research, and coastal tourism. The harbor, antique shops, and research facilities along Highway 1 each have distinct signage needs—and everything here must withstand direct marine exposure.

  • Wood & Sandblasted Signs – Moss Landing’s antique row, harbor restaurants, and roadside attractions favor hand-carved and sandblasted wood signs that match the community’s rustic coastal character. We use marine-grade finishes built to handle salt air and fog.
  • Monument Signs – Research facilities like MBARI, the Elkhorn Slough Reserve, and commercial properties along Highway 1 use monument signs to establish a professional presence visible to highway traffic moving between Santa Cruz and Monterey.
  • Vinyl Graphics & Window Lettering – Harbor-front shops, cafés, and bait-and-tackle operations use vinyl lettering and window graphics for affordable, weather-resistant branding that holds up in Moss Landing’s marine environment.
  • Banners & Event Signage – Seasonal events, whale-watching promotions, and the Moss Landing Antique Street Fair all rely on outdoor banners and temporary signage. We produce durable displays designed for the coastal wind and salt exposure this area is known for.
