Price factors

What affects the price

  • Size. Signs are priced by area. A larger sign uses more material and takes longer to produce and install.
  • Sign type. 3D letters, flat panel signs, neon, light boxes and glass stickers each use different materials and production time.
  • Materials. Acrylic, aluminium composite, stainless steel and printed vinyl all have different costs and lifespans (compare materials).
  • Lighting. Non-illuminated signs cost less than front-lit, back-lit (halo) or neon signs, which need LEDs and power supplies.
  • Installation. Height, wall type, access equipment and night work for malls all affect the installation cost.
  • Design. If you already have print-ready artwork, there is no design work to add. New logo or sign design is quoted separately.

Example

How to estimate your sign

Multiply the width by the height to get the area, then multiply by the starting rate.

  • Sign size: 3 m wide × 1 m high = 3 m²
  • Starting rate: AED 555 per m²
  • Starting estimate: 3 × 555 = from AED 1,665

This is a starting point only. Lighting, premium materials and complex installation increase the price, and VAT applies. We confirm the exact price after seeing your design and location.

Before you order

Permits and approvals

Most outdoor business signs in the UAE need approval from the local authority: the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) in Dubai, or the municipality in Abu Dhabi. Malls and building owners often have their own sign rules too.

JR Group designs, produces and installs signs, but we do not handle permit applications. Check the requirements with the authority or your landlord, and share any approved sign guidelines with us so we can build to them.
