A sign created by the cutting away from a solid material such as stone or wood, where the lettering and / or design is cut down into the surface of the sign blank. Unlike hand carved pieces, routed signs generally refer to signs that are CNC routed or machine carved. Typical interior or exterior signage uses include directional or wayfinding signage, point of purchase signage, directories, regulatory signs, and a wide variety of on-premise signs inside multi-tenant buildings.
