Metro Compact Message Signs

Metro Message Signs are our most compact portable message signs, designed for use in metropolitan areas. Metro Signs provide the visibility and legibility of our other message signs, but with a smaller footprint. Metro message signs provide information to the public on a full-matrix LED display. The display can present messages as text, graphics or a combination of both.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Integrity and honesty are the first words that come to mind when I hear Holland Signs. I have been in tTraffic Control for over 25 years and Holland Signs has always gone above and beyond to make sure I always got the equipment that I needed.

We have had the pleasure of working with Holland Signs for many years. Whether it is renting their VMB's to Arrow Boards, everything is in top shape and ready to use. With the addition of their sign shop, the wait for custom signs is very minimal.

Zoe and Jerry are the most down to earth folks I have dealt with in a long time. Their level of service is outstanding, they have yet to fail me nor do I think they can, they are just that neat of folks.
