Integrating Digital Message Centers into Custom Architectural Signage

Becoming increasingly popular in recent years, this innovative approach of choosing your digital message center offers a number of benefits. These benefits include improved visibility, enhanced communication, and greater flexibility.


For busi­ness­es look­ing to make a bold state­ment, our team’s expe­ri­ence inte­grat­ing dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ters can be very help­ful. Our team has a lot of expe­ri­ence incor­po­rat­ing mes­sage cen­ters into our whole­sale sig­nage offer­ings. More and more, we’ve been part­ner­ing with our clients to inte­grate dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ters of their choos­ing into unique, one-of-a-kind sign designs.

With the wide range of sign types man­u­fac­tured by our team at Image­First, includ­ing mon­u­ment signs, direc­tion­al signs, and wayfind­ing signs, we’re able to inte­grate dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ters into any sign type. This type of sig­nage fea­tures LED lights or LCD screens that can dis­play cus­tom mes­sages and graph­ics. This tech­nol­o­gy has been around for a while, but it has become increas­ing­ly sophis­ti­cat­ed in recent years. 

Dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ter sig­nage can be used to cre­ate eye-catch­ing dis­plays that are vis­i­ble from a dis­tance, even in low-light con­di­tions for both inte­ri­or and exte­ri­or use. Addi­tion­al­ly, dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ter sig­nage can be updat­ed quick­ly and eas­i­ly, mak­ing it ide­al for busi­ness­es that need to change their mes­sag­ing frequently.

2 Ways You Can Integrate a Digital Message Center for Your Clients


  1. Pro­vid­ing your own dig­i­tal mes­sage panel(s) and hav­ing them shipped to our man­u­fac­tur­ing facil­i­ty in Grin­nell, Iowa. This is the most com­mon method and allows you to reap the sav­ings ben­e­fits of choos­ing the dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ter that is both best for your client and their bud­get. We’ll design and engi­neer the sign design you need with the dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ter you pro­vide to us.
  2. Have us to han­dle the details. We can work with one of our trust­ed ven­dors or even one of your pre­ferred ven­dors. It all depends on your client’s bud­get, design, and func­tion­al­i­ty needs.


Either way, we’re here to help. We have fab­ri­cat­ed and inte­grat­ed many dig­i­tal mes­sage cen­ters into our cus­tom sign builds.
