What beer cave signs look like
How we build beer cave signs
Every sign follows the same route through our workshop: dimension drawing, lighting effect design, CNC cutting and assembly, a 48-hour lighting test, then timber-framed crating for export. You approve the drawing before we cut anything, and we send photos or video at each step.

How beer cave signage handles cold retail
A beer cave is a hard environment for electronics: the doors open and close all day, the glass sweats, and the cavity stays cold. We build the sign as a sealed, low-voltage unit that lives inside the cooler frame, with modules spaced for even light and wiring that survives constant vibration at the hinge side.
Cold and humidity rated
Sealed housings and IP67 modules keep condensation away from the electrics.
Vibration tolerant
Strain-relieved wiring and lock connectors survive thousands of door cycles.
Brand colours matched
Beverage brand Pantone references reproduced across every door in the run.
Animation modes and single colour
Beer cave signs can run a single fixed colour or an addressable RGB animation. Tell us which mode you want as the default and we load it at the factory; you can switch modes from the app at any time.
Chasing
Rainbow flow
Colour fade
Breathing
Wave
Running border
Two-colour mix
One fixed colour
Most c-store runs use one brand colour per door, or a chasing RGB effect for the hero door.
What's inside a beer cave sign
Double-sided printed panels
Two lit faces per door, printed to brand colour and finish.
Sealed aluminium housing
Powder-coated frame with gaskets, sized to the door frame and hinge clearance.
UL-listed LED + driver
Class 2, 12V low voltage, with a remote driver position when needed.
What a factory-direct beer cave build gets you
C-store chains usually buy cooler signage through a US distributor and pay 40%–60% markup, with long lead times on multi-door runs. We manufacture, program and crating-test the whole run in our own workshop, then ship it DDP to your store or your installer's yard.
Multi-door runs matched
Every door in the run is printed and wired as one matched set.
Programmed before shipping
Default mode, colours and speed loaded and tested at the factory.
48-hour multi-mode burn-in
Each unit runs continuously across all modes before crating.
UL-listed components
UL-listed modules and Mean Well Class 2 drivers, 12V low voltage.
IP67 sealed housings
Rated for constant cold, condensation and repeated cleaning.
Turnkey DDP delivery
Freight, US import duties and final delivery are all inside our quoted price.
Beer cave and c-store builds we run most often

Cooler-door graphic boxes
Double-sided boxes that clip into existing door frames.
C-store interior LED signs

Brand-sponsored displays

How much do beer cave signs cost?
$950 – $2,400 USD per sign, delivered DDP to your US address.
That is the range our own beer cave and cooler-door projects have landed in over the past year — including crating, air freight, US import duties and final delivery. Four things move the number:
- Number of doors — a single door and a 12-door cooler run are different projects
- Door size and frame type — glass-door, frame-door and retrofit kits use different housings
- Single colour or RGB — addressable animation adds modules, controller channels and programming
- Brand requirements — approved-supplier colour matching and artwork proofs are quoted as part of the run
Send your door sizes, artwork and delivery address and we return a line-item DDP price for the whole run, with a mockup per door type.

How much do beer cave signs cost?
Most of our beer cave and cooler-door projects land between $950 and $2,400 USD per door delivered DDP to a US address, including crating, air freight, US import duties and final delivery. Door count, frame type, single colour or RGB, and brand requirements are what move the number.
Do beer cave signs need to be double-sided?
Usually yes, if the sign sits inside the cooler or on a swinging door and is visible from both sides. For signs mounted flat against a wall or a single-sided frame, a one-face build is cheaper and we will confirm the right option from your photos.
How do they handle cold and humidity?
Housings are sealed aluminium with gaskets, and the LED modules are IP67 rated, so condensation inside the cooler does not reach the electrics. Wiring is strain-relieved on the hinge side to survive constant door cycles.
Can you match our beverage brand colours?
Yes. Send the brand Pantone references (or the approved artwork pack) and we print and powder-coat to match, then check every door in the run against the reference before crating.
How long does manufacturing and delivery take?
Production takes 7 working days after you approve the artwork proofs, because every unit is programmed and burn-in tested. DDP air shipping adds 12 to 20 days.
What do I need before I request a quote?
Door or frame sizes with photos, the number of doors, your artwork files, whether you want single colour or RGB, and your full delivery address — street, city, state and ZIP. We need the complete address to calculate the exact DDP freight.
