Frequently Asked Questions Before Ordering a Sign

Here are 18 important questions most frequently asked by customers. Select a category to see only what you're interested in, or view all.

It mainly depends on the distance customers will see it from. A rough rule is 1 cm of letter height for every 1 meter of viewing distance. For example, if viewed from 5 meters, the letters should be at least 5 cm high. For signs on general office building walls, 60x80 cm or 80x120 cm are popular. Project/tower signs usually start from 100x200 cm or larger.
Popular and most cost-effective sizes: 30x40 / 40x60 / 60x90 / 80x120 / 100x200 cm. These sizes allow for efficient cutting of materials with minimal waste, making them cost-effective. For large company signs on tall buildings, custom sizes can be ordered to fit the installation area.
No. According to sign tax law, signs with an area of less than 1 square meter for VAT-registered businesses are exempt from tax. Many customers choose sizes under 1 square meter to avoid the annual tax.
It depends on the material. A single acrylic sheet can be up to 122x244 cm (4x8 ft). Composite ACP can be up to 150x400 cm per sheet. Larger signs can be produced by joining sheets with metal frames or steel structures, allowing for unlimited size.
Size is not the only factor; placement and material quality are more important. A 60x80 cm stainless steel sign with halo-lit lighting in a prominent position looks more professional than a 100x200 cm plain Plaswood sign. Don't focus solely on size.
Many small signs are more cost-effective in terms of tax if each sign is less than 1 sq.m. and VAT registered, they might be exempt. However, overall impact is reduced and installation costs are higher. Choose based on your goal: saving money vs. standing out.
Calculated based on the rate per 500 sq.cm. of the sign area, divided into 3 rates according to the type of text: Sign A (Thai only) 5 baht · Sign B (Thai + English/symbols) 26 baht · Sign C (English only) 50 baht. Minimum 200 baht/year. Example: Thai + English sign, 60x120 cm (7,200 sq.cm.) = 7,200/500 × 26 = 374 baht/year.
Exempt signs: Signs of government agencies, foundations, temples, schools · Signs installed inside buildings (indoor only) · Temporary signs for exhibitions/events · Signs on products/packaging · Signs for VAT-registered businesses with an area less than 1 sq.m.
File at the local administrative organization (OrBorTor)/municipality/district office where the sign is located (not at the company's registered address). Regular filing is from January to March of each year. New signs/changed signs must be filed within 15 days after installation. Payment is due within 15 days after receiving the assessment notification.
Failure to file: Fine of 5,000–50,000 baht · Late filing: Surcharge of 10% of the tax amount · False declaration/evasion: Fine of 5,000–50,000 baht + imprisonment not exceeding 1 year. Octopus offers free sign tax estimation before production, so customers know their annual costs before ordering.
Yes, it can. Simply design it so that the Thai text is above or larger than the English text. The tax will decrease from 50฿ to 26฿ per 500 sq.cm., almost halving the cost. A 100x200 cm sign of Type C costs 2,000฿/year, while Type B costs 1,040฿/year, saving 960฿ annually.
A sign with only a logo/image and no Thai text is considered Type C (50฿). To avoid this, add the company name in Thai text, larger than any foreign text, below the logo to reduce it to Type B.
5,000–10,000: UV-printed acrylic sign + Standoffs, or Plaswood with stickers, 40x60 cm. 10,000–25,000: Raised acrylic letters + Plaswood or medium-sized composite panel. 25,000–60,000: Raised stainless steel letters + panel / slim LED sign. 60,000+: Halo-lit stainless steel letters / tower sign.
Plaswood + stickers: 2–3 years (colors may fade). Composite ACP: 5–7 years. Acrylic letters: 5–8 years (UV coating extends to 8–10 years). Stainless steel letters: 10–15 years. Stainless steel LED letters: 8–12 years. Most companies renovate building exteriors every 7–10 years anyway.
Acrylic is lightweight, easy to install, and inexpensive, but has a shorter lifespan (5–8 years). Suitable for indoor/general commercial buildings. Stainless steel looks luxurious and professional, is durable (10+ years), and costs 2–3 times more than acrylic. Suitable for offices/hotels/showrooms. Other metal letters (zinc/aluminum) are in between, about 30% cheaper than stainless steel, require anti-rust coating, and last 7–10 years.
Lighted signs are 1.5–3 times more expensive but are clearly visible day and night, offering a professional image. Suitable for businesses with customers arriving in the evening/night. Non-lighted signs are suitable for companies open 9–5, B2B customers, or those located in office buildings with existing lighting. The electricity cost for a medium-sized LED sign is approximately 100–300 baht/month.
Refer to the lease agreement. If renting for 1–3 years, Plaswood/acrylic is sufficient. If renting for 5 years or more, investing in stainless steel/lighted signs is better, because the cost of re-making signs every 2–3 years will be more than making a good one once.
Minimalist: White/black acrylic letters + plain Plaswood. Luxe: Raised stainless steel + Halo-lit + 3–5 cm floating standoffs. The price difference is 3–5 times, but Luxe delivers a "standard corporate" feel that minimalist cannot. Choose according to your brand positioning.
