Aluminium will not rust, rot or shatter like sometraditional sign making materials such as plasticsor wood. Coupled with high quality vinyl, digitalprinting and protective laminate, aluminium is theperfect choice for an attractive, cost effective andstrong sign system.

Why do we usealuminium?

We round corners on all of your signs as standard,whether wall mounted or post mounted as asafety precaution to protect little fingers fromsharp edges.

Why do we userounded corners?

90% of our signs are now digitally printed. Thistechnology means no stuck on letters that can beeasily peeled off or vandalised. Printing inks areUV resistant and weatherproof, we then add aclear gloss lamination for extra protection andlongevity.

It also means we can print graphics such ascolour blends on logos, intricate school emblems,scans of children’s designs and photos that areotherwise impossible with traditional signmaker’svinyl cut on a plotter.

Why do we usedigital print?

Flat Plate SignsWe supply a wide range of flat plate signs. See also ourstandard safety and playground signs on page 8. With pre-drilled holes and screws supplied they are easy tofix securely to flat walls and doors.
