Put Your 2026 Tax Bill to Work in Your Shop

section 179 logo

Section 179 lets qualifying businesses deduct the full purchase price of new equipment in the year it's placed in service, instead of spreading it out over several years. For many sign shops, that means a new bender or router can start paying you back on this year's tax return.

Every CCI Machine Qualifies

Our full lineup, including channel letter benders, CNC router tables, letter fastening machines and trim cap machines, is qualifying Section 179 equipment when it's used more than 50% for business.

Deduction limit:

Up to $2,560,000 in qualifying equipment

Bonus depreciation:

100% for qualifying property

Deadline:

Equipment must be placed in service by December 31, 2026

Financing:

Financed equipment can qualify too, so you may be able to take the deduction without paying the full amount up front

What It Could Look Like

Take a $100,000 equipment investment. At a 24% tax rate, deducting it in full could mean roughly $24,000 in first-year tax savings. Add the labor you save by bringing letters in-house, and the machine starts paying for itself faster.

Illustrative example only. Your savings depend on your tax situation. Talk to your tax advisor before you buy.

Don't Wait on the Deadline

Every CCI machine is built to order in Plano, TX, and ships fully assembled and tested. To have equipment in service by December 31, start the conversation early so we can confirm timing with our production team.
