Many of these signs are manufactured using heavy gauge American steel and the sublimation process. The image is baked into a powder coating in order to ensure durability. The signs are then sanded by hand to give them an old look. The small metal rivets are added to the corners of the sign to insure easy hanging. Only a couple of finishing nails would be sufficient for hanging these signs on an interior wall of your home or office.
