Insure Your Message—and Your Manufacturing Operation
Creating signs is more than just printing graphics. It’s about design, precision fabrication, electrical integration, and often installation. Whether your shop produces outdoor monument signs, channel letters, or custom vinyl wraps, your operations involve materials, machinery, liability, and delivery risks.
Signage Manufacturing Insurance is designed to protect the unique exposures faced by sign manufacturers in California and nationwide. From production equipment breakdown to installation liability, the right coverage keeps your business lit—no matter what challenges arise.
Key Insurance Coverages for Signage Manufacturers
To safeguard your operations, signage shops need a combination of core commercial policies and industry-specific protections:
General Liability Insurance – Covers third-party claims for injury or property damage due to faulty signs, sharp edges, or incorrect installations
Product Liability Insurance – Critical if a sign falls, fails, or malfunctions after being delivered or installed
Commercial Property Insurance – Protects your print facility, design studio, CNC routers, laminators, and digital printing equipment from fire, theft, or flood
Equipment Breakdown Insurance – Covers repair or replacement of large-format printers, laser engravers, vinyl cutters, and LED modules
Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Mandatory in California to cover workplace injuries from lifting, burns, chemical exposure, or machinery accidents
Installation Floater Coverage – Protects signs during transport or on-site installation
Commercial Auto Insurance – Required if your business uses vehicles for delivery or field service
Business Interruption Insurance – Replaces income if production halts due to fire, equipment failure, or another covered event
Bundle critical protections with a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP) for simplified coverage and cost savings.

Legal claims over misprinted or incorrectly illuminated signage

Injury risk from handling sheet metal, plastics, or solvents
Downtime from equipment failure in fast-turnaround environments
