Signs & Awnings in Newark, NJ

Newark's commercial corridors are among the most active in the state. Broad Street and Market Street form the downtown core, home to government buildings, corporate offices, banks, and retail. The Ironbound district along Ferry Street is one of the most vibrant restaurant and small business corridors in New Jersey, packed with eateries, bakeries, and specialty shops. McCarter Highway connects major commercial and industrial zones. Newark's business community is diverse and fast-moving, and signage plays a critical role in standing out.

Newark is a short drive from our Nutley headquarters, and we have completed signage projects throughout the city. From the Ironbound's dense restaurant row to Broad Street's corporate buildings, we understand the range of signage needs across Newark's neighborhoods. Our proximity means fast turnaround and hands-on project management.

Historic districts within Newark may require additional design review. Illuminated signs and signs above a certain size may need site plan review.

Our channel letters and awning on Ferry Street are the best on the block. AVI Design understood the Ironbound's energy and designed something that really pops. We have seen more walk-in customers since the new sign went up.

They did our window graphics and awning on Market Street. The combination looks amazing and we are getting so much more foot traffic from people walking by. AVI Design was wonderful to work with.
