Pollitt Signs and Graphics — Baltimore City
Full wraps, partial wraps, and truck lettering — designed, printed, and installed in-house on premium vinyl built to last 10 years. Serving businesses in Baltimore and Baltimore City since 1947.
Pollitt Signs and Graphics has been building signs and vehicle graphics in Havre de Grace since 1947, and every fleet job is designed, printed, and installed in-house at our shop — nothing gets outsourced. We offer full wraps, partial wraps, cut vinyl lettering, and perforated window film, all printed with UV-resistant inks on premium vinyl rated for a 10-year life expectancy. Our certified applicators have handled complete fleet programs, including a full wrap job on 12 service vans for a local HVAC company, so every vehicle in your fleet matches from the first van to the last.
Baltimore's neighborhoods each carry their own historic district guidelines, zoning overlays, and sign ordinances that require careful navigation. Fells Point and Federal Hill historic districts have specific review processes; the Inner Harbor and Harbor East corridor operates under its own overlay; industrial areas in Canton and South Baltimore have different allowances. Our permit department handles Baltimore City applications and knows which reviewers manage which districts. We've built signs across the city — from Hampden boutiques on 36th Street to Locust Point industrial tenants to Harbor East corporate headquarters — and we coordinate the city permit process from initial submission through final inspection.
All fleet & vehicle graphics installations in Baltimore require sign permits through the Baltimore City Department of General Services. As a Baltimore City sign company with over seven decades of permitting experience, our dedicated permit department handles the application, setback compliance review, and any variance requests. Baltimore City's Department of General Services reviews standard sign permit applications on a roughly 3–5 week timeline, though projects in the city's historic districts — Fells Point and Federal Hill among them — require a separate historic district design review before a sign permit can be issued. Signs that exceed the applicable height, area, or illumination limits for their zoning district need a variance from the city's Board of Municipal and Zoning Appeals. You focus on your business; we handle the paperwork.
Baltimore's dense urban commercial fabric shapes how we approach fleet & vehicle graphics here. City fleet vehicles spend more time parked or moving slowly in traffic than at highway speed, so we prioritize wrap legibility for pedestrians and adjacent drivers at a standstill over long-distance visibility.
