Alpha Lewis Signs Workshop

Melbourne businesses don’t leave us. They just come back for the next sign.

Alpha Lewis Signs has been part of Melbourne since 1969. Three generations, one family, and client relationships measured in decades, not projects. Signwriting, vehicle signage, illuminated and neon signs, wayfinding, murals and corporate branding: whatever the project, we're still the call they make.

From first idea to final install.

Bring us an idea, or just a problem to solve. We design, make and install, from wayfinding and vehicle signage to illuminated and neon work, so you deal with one team the whole way.

A bathroom sign or illuminated corporate branding, the standard is the same. It’s why so many of our clients keep coming back.

We've been proudly Melbourne
since 1969.

Alpha Lewis Signs is a family-owned business with over 50 years of experience, expertise and passion. Our journey began in 1955 with John Lewis working as a ticket writer for Myer and Darrell Lea Chocolates.

The early 1960’s saw John extend his skills to traditional signwriting while working with various well known companies in and around Melbourne - ‘Filmer & Clarke Signs’, McCabe Signs and Carroll & Richardson Signs.

In 1969 the establishment of what is now known as Alpha Lewis Signs was formed. Paul Lewis, current owner came onboard as an apprentice in 1980. Handwritten signs with traditional brushwork was still the main way their signage was being produced. However, the late 1980’s started to see changes in the industry with the introduction of computers and vinyl cut decals.

From humble beginnings with a small factory and team in Preston we have grown, moved and evolved before finally landing in our current bigger and more prominent ‘home’ in North Melbourne in the early 1990’s. Over the decades Alpha Lewis Signs have serviced many clients over countless projects, some big, some small. We always remain committed to the craft of excellent signage and service. We love our signs, we love our clients.
