Badger State Industries has a knowledgeable sales staff to handle all your customer service needs.
Metal and plastic (polyply and acrylic) signs are produced in the sign shop located at the Stanley Correctional Institution. Traffic, street, trail, architectural and informational signs are among those produced. Engraved informational signs, name badges and personal nameplates are made here as well. Modern materials and sign making equipment, layout, photography and silkscreen (reverse and direct) methods are used. New signage is also produced. Painted surface, heat activated and pressure sensitive reflective sheeting materials are utilized in the production of signs. Signs are fabricated in various sizes, shapes and colors.
Hydrostripping is a revolutionary method of removing all grades of reflective sheeting from signs of all shapes and sizes by utilizing ultra-high pressure waterjet technology. This environmentally friendly system does not use chemicals or sanding belts, nor does it produce any hazardous waste. In addition, hydrostripping does not harm the corrosion-resistant coatings that have previously been applied to the sign blank. The refurbished sign blanks are ready for re-facing and produce extensive savings over the cost of buying new aluminum. Hydrostripping is endorsed and certified by all of the major reflective sheeting manufacturers.
This is done at our Jackson location. We offer hundreds of different highway and traffic signs. Each sign is screened on high intensity prismatic sheeting and is available in new or hydrostripped aluminum. We have snowmobile and ATV signs for every trail in a variety of substrates.
Adopt-A-Highway signs can be seen on many Wisconsin roadways. These seven color signs are screened on high intensity prismatic sheeting on top of aluminum.
There are two additional sign shops at Jackson and New Lisbon. These shops produce street and highway signage using recycled signs. The Jackson shop began production of traffic and safety signs at the end of FY 2008.

The Smokey the Bear Kit comes with everything you need to help prevent wildfires. Smokey the Bear is ink jetted on high intensity sheeting and is 72" tall. The sign kit comes with all the signs shown above (wood is not included). The window sign comes with 5 danger levels: Extreme, Very High, High, Moderate and Low. The kit also comes with a steel box to store your signs. This is an all-in-one kit to create your Smokey the Bear Prevention Sign. Badger State Industries also offers Farm Fire Control Signs. These signs are available in aluminum in two different sizes: 17x6 and 8x24.
Park and Recreational symbol signs are aluminum substrate with engineer grade reflective sheeting. The standard color for park and recreational signs is brown. Optional colors are red, green or blue. The not allowed symbol is available in black on white with a red "not allowed" symbol.
There are six different types of recreational symbols:
Badger State Industries can customize any sign to meet your needs. We offer a wide variety of materials such as aluminum, PVC, masonite and more. We can use custom artwork created by you, or our design staff can create designs specifically for you.
Your high quality camera ready artwork is output on vinyl, then laminated between .020 Lexan and an aluminum or PVCA backing (aluminum backing is .080 aluminum PVCA backing in customer choice of .125'' or .25'' PVCA) with high pressure rollers. These signs, designed for outdoor use, are UV resistant, vandal resistant, non-reflective and are excellent for detailed, high quality artwork. For indoor use, medium protection, 2 mils thick film over laminate is applied instead of Lexan. Laminated signs are standard with square corners and without mounting holes.
Frames include choices of wood, aluminum post, cantilever frames and pedestal frames.
