Self-Storage Signage: National Sign Programs

In our many years serving the self-storage industry, we've come to realize a recurring theme: facility owners and managers, while experts in their domain, often find themselves entangled in the web of self-storage signage regulations. Crafting a sign that catches the eye is just the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface, there's a complex maze of local regulations and permitting processes that differ remarkably from one location to another. At National Sign Team, we've seen firsthand the challenges this presents and the potential pitfalls it can lead to.

Your Dedicated Partner

National Sign Team

We don't just see ourselves as a sign company; we view ourselves as an extension of your team. As the self-storage landscape has grown and changed, so has the need for expert-driven, specialized solutions. Our focus has always been on offering tailored sign programs and rebranding services specifically for the unique needs of self-storage facilities.


One of our key differentiators is our in-depth understanding of local zoning and the sometimes tedious permitting processes. We've managed this process many times, ensuring our clients remain compliant while also effectively communicating their brand message.

The Power of Signage: More Than Just Words

Signage isn’t just about communicating a message—it’s about conveying your brand’s ethos and professionalism. Even something as trivial as missing letters on a marquee can send signals of carelessness, inattention to detail, and perhaps a lack of investment in one's business. Every sign, every letter, every image represents your brand, and in a world where first impressions matter more than ever, it's crucial to get it right. 

Decoding the Permitting Process for Self-Storage Facilities

When it comes to self-storage facilities, the importance of getting the permitting process right cannot be understated. Given the very nature of these facilities, they often occupy larger plots of land, have specific security considerations, and must ensure easy accessibility for their customers. All these factors come into play during the permitting process and can substantially influence the signage strategies adopted.

Self-storage businesses have diverse customers – from families in transition to individuals decluttering, to businesses in need of extra storage space. Your business must ensure your signage is both inviting and informative. Proper signage plays a dual role: it establishes brand identity and directs customers through the facility. Because of the dual role, the permitting process for such signs requires a delicate balance of adhering to local regulations while ensuring the business objectives are met.


Managing this process for multiple sites increases the complexity of a comprehensive sign program. Each facility might be subjected to different local regulations, zoning laws, and community standards. Ensuring compliance across all these parameters for multiple sites becomes a labyrinthine task.


At National Sign Team, we've developed a deep understanding of these unique challenges faced by self-storage facilities with a multi-location footprint. Our expertise doesn't just lie in knowing the regulations but in interpreting how they apply specifically to the self-storage industry.

From Design Vision to Ongoing Maintenance

Our approach at National Sign Team is holistic, covering every aspect of the signage process:

  • Installation: A sign's effectiveness is as much about its placement as its design. Our seasoned installation team ensures optimal positioning, maximizing visibility and impact.
  • Maintenance: Like any valuable asset, signs need upkeep. We offer dedicated maintenance services, ensuring your signs remain pristine and effective year-round.
