2024 Signage & Fabrication Trends

In 2024, it’s no surprise that we are seeing the ongoing trend of industries shifting from physical to digital, and this is also the case in both signage and fabrication. Physical signage might considered outdated in certain realms, however, it will always retain a presence, whether in retail, hospitality, transportation, healthcare, education, and many more. Whilst developments in this field aren’t as innovative or revolutionary as seen in other industries, 2024 signage trends are allowing businesses to create more engaging displays.

From incorporating multiple materials to building tactile displays, modular designs, sustainability, and technology, here are five fabrication and signage trends in 2024.
