Brushwork that reads real
Hand-painted signs are physical placards and storefront panels lettered by a sign-painter, not printed. A campaign delivers a batch of 25 to 300 units on plywood, foam-core, cardboard, canvas, or rigid vinyl, painted in studio or live on-site, with a GPS-stamped photo record at every stage. Beyond Street Media paints and installs in-house, so one team carries the work from raw substrate through the finished wrap-deck gallery.
- You are a political coalition or nonprofit who needs 50 to 300 march placards in the 24 to 72 hours before an action.
- You are a brand opening a storefront and want painted A-frames, sandwich boards, and entry panels that signal craft.
- You are running a streetwear drop, F&B opening, or venue residency where the sign itself becomes the photo people post.
- You need one editorial commission for a gallery opening, film premiere, or tour stop where a single sign reads as art.
- Paint reads as community
A hand-lettered plywood placard signals real people. Printed coroplast reads as astroturf, which is why coalitions carry brushwork into the news cycle.
- Rush capacity
A 24 to 72 hour brief-to-finish run routes through the studio when a protest or news moment cannot wait. Standard runs land in 5 to 10 days.
- Substrate matched to use
Sealed half-inch plywood survives rain and stake-mounting outdoors, cardboard runs single-use and biodegradable, and gessoed canvas reads as art indoors.
- Print and install together
One in-house team paints the signs and runs the on-site live painting, so a brand pairs a wall mural with a sidewalk A-frame from a single source instead of two vendors.

Start your Hand-Painted Signs.
How it's made.
Substrate first
Every run starts with the surface. Half-inch plywood gets sealed both sides, primed, and lettered for outdoor handling. Foam-core on wooden stakes covers indoor activations, and rigid vinyl or gessoed canvas covers retail and editorial work.
Hand-applied lettering
Painters work from print-ready, color-locked artwork scaled to the substrate, using stencils, transfer paper, and Mack brush kits. When a protest moment values speed over typographic precision, they chalk in from a written prompt and paint to brief.
Documented at every stage
Rough lay-in, color blocks, lettering, sealer, and packing all get photographed, each shot GPS-stamped. Runs over 50 signs approve a single sample, then proceed.
Live painting on-site
For activations, painters letter on location at the event. Finished signs shoot against a neutral backdrop and deliver as a wrap-deck gallery within 24 hours of event close.
Built for the load
Larger runs ship with stakes and mounting kits. Per-unit cost drops sharply at 50 to 100 signs, once crew time spreads across the batch.

Frequently asked.
Q · 01 What kinds of hand-painted signs do you produce?
Protest and march signs (stencil or hand-lettered, mounted on stakes or hand-held), political placards on plywood, brand activation signs for pop-ups and openings, and editorial signage for gallery openings, premieres, and tours. All of it is hand-painted in studio or on-site.
Q · 02 How fast can you turn around a batch?
Five to ten business days from approved artwork for runs of 25 to 100 signs. Rush 48-hour production is available for protest or political moments, and larger runs of 200 or more take 10 to 14 days. We do not silkscreen unless you ask, because the hand-painted look is the point.
Q · 03 What is the minimum order?
The studio minimum is 25 signs for protest, rally, or activation runs. Single-sign commissions are available for editorial use at a per-sign premium. Per-unit pricing is far better at 50 to 100 signs, where crew cost spreads across the batch.
Q · 04 How is this different from your hand-painted murals?
Murals are wall-scale (20 to 60-plus feet) painted in place over days with scaffolding. Signs are hand-portable or storefront scale (18 inches to 8 feet) painted over 6 to 48 hours. Brands often pair both, a mural on the wall and a painted A-frame on the sidewalk.
Q · 05 What does it cost?
Runs start at $2,500 for 25 to 50 signs in one or two colors with a photo proof. Multi-substrate programs with mounting kits start at $6,000, and storefront programs with live painting at launch start at $18,000. A final quote lands in 24 to 48 hours, and rush adds 15 to 200 percent over standard.
Q · 06 Do these require permits?
Studio production needs no permits, and on-site live painting at private venues runs on owner consent. Public protest signage is the carrier's responsibility. Gallery, retail, and editorial signage follows standard local storefront codes.
From $2,500. 5-10 days, brief to first sign.
Printing and installation both included. Most shops do one or the other. Every sign is documented with a GPS-stamped photo the day it goes up.
