  • Corporate Signs Image

    Corporate Signs

    There are many different types of signs that could fall under the Corporate category - from simple directory systems to massive illuminated letters down the side of a building spelling out the company name. On this page we focus on the signs used in reception areas of buildings, directory and wayfinding systems. Also included are prestige signs as used to brand a corporate headquarters or retail park.
    All of these signs are manufactured from the highest quality materials and as such would come with a higher cost - but increased cachet.
    With brand awareness such an important issue, to create the best first impression to your premises is possible using correct signage.

    Shop Fronts and Commercial Signs

    Aluminium Frame Sign
    A very simple but effective sign consisting of an aluminium frame with an acrylic or composite panel. No fixings are visible so the end result is very tidy, also the panel is suspended in the frame and not susceptible to the problems associated with expansion and contraction.

    Internally Illuminated Lightbox
    Very common sign used everywhere from forecourt canopies to high street shops. The usual type is an aluminium box with fluorescent tubes inside and an acrylic face panel. Sometimes Fret-Cut Trays can be mounted on the front to give a different effect. Retail parks tend to have really large lightboxes with Flex-Face fronts instead of acrylic.

    Tray Signs / Fret-Cut Trays

    These are made from either aluminium or more commonly now, aluminium composite. The edges of a panel are folded all the way round to give a ‘return’, this gives the sign a depth. If letters are cut from the face and acrylic put inside the panel this is a Fret-Cut Tray and is usually used in conjunction with an Internally Illuminated Lightbox.

    Flat-Cut Letters
    Made from a variety of materials in different thicknesses. The letters can be fixed to all surfaces using simplefix acrylic locators, glue, metal studs
    or heavy duty double sided tape.
