Directional Sign to be seen from the Road?

Consider a T-Sign. It is created by printing a pair of 4mm fluted panels 600 x 800mm, 750 x 1000 or 900 x 1200mm size then placing them back to back & bonding the edges together  (the same way estate agent boards are made) making a pocket that the post slides into. 

The pair of signs fixed to a post turns a low-cost material into a sign that is super-tough at a low cost.

It gets your message in an unmissable position viewable in both directions by pedestrians & motorists. Just put a post-spike into the ground. add your post. Slide the post between the 2 panels & fix the panels to the post with screws & washers.

 

Need the Ali plus Back Rails option?

Choose the ali plus back rails option if your sign is to be fitted to an existing or new pole. Consider choosing also if you are fitting to a chainlink fence or to railings

To add your sign to an existing pole you will need to add clips to your order unless you have existing clips that you can use.. To see our Clip options Click Here. The option that looks like a big jubilee clip is for larger poles up to lamp post size.

If your sign is going on a new pole or poles then you can order a set including. Pole, Pole cap, Pole Base (to stop it from swiveling) & clips. Click for details

 

Want A Directional Sign to be seen from a Distance?

Consider a banner. The most economical large sign is a banner but which do you choose – the standard material or the heavy duty option.

Our Heavy Duty banner material is extra thick & has twice the tear strength of normal banners. Use this material if the banners will be used, rolled up & stored then used again, Use Heavy Duty if it will be used in windy & exposed positions. Use Heavy Duty if the banner is to be left in the same position for several years.

The banners are hemmed & eyeleted all round. The vertical banners can be finished with a scaffold pocket on top & bottom. Just ask for this in the special instructions box.

 

When to use a Wall V Sign

If your Building is running parallel to the road or walkway then a sign on the wall is difficult to see. A wall V Sign angles the sign away from the wall making it more visible.  Above a door is another good spot.

Our wall V Signs are easy to fit . Just screw the end flanges to the wall with screws & washers. The flanges & V shape are created naturally using the flutes of the 6mm fluted plastic to make natural hinges

Both sides are assumed to be the same unless you ask for the messages to be different. Any arrows will be reversed on the 2nd side so that both are pointing in the same direction.

 

 

Magnetic Directional Cone?

Our magnetic directional cones are the ideal way of getting the message to pedestrians & motorists because you can place the cone close to their direction of travel.

The message is 4ft off the ground and close to A3 size. The message is in the ideal position & the ideal height so very difficult to miss.

The cone breaks into 3 parts so is easily stored & reassembled. If the base is filled with water then the cone is stable even in the strongest winds. We have yet to hear of one blowing over.

As the message is magnetic it can easily be changed  – today a directional sign. tomorrow a No Parking sign etc

 

 

Magnetic Stanchions?

A magnetic stanchion is a valuable item for every work area. As the message is magnetic it can be easily changed as the need arises.

Today it is a Directional Sign. Tomorrow it is reserving a parking space. The next day it is a warning of Fork Lift trucks operating in this area.

When it is not needed it can be folded & stored ready for its next action

It’s big plus is that it can be placed close to the traffic flow (pedestrian & motorist) so the message is not going to be missed.

Sign Materials – Which to use & when

Aluminium Faced Signs
  • if your sign is likely to get rough treatment then choose this 3mm material – you can dent it but not break it.
  • This material expands very little when it get hot  so is good for longer outdoor signs as it wont bow between fixing points – a problem with 3 %mm PVC
  • On smaller sign – like Parking signs – the extra cost is small so why chance it go for Ali-Faced every time,
3 & 5mm PVC
  • Often Called Foamex which is the original Brand name but we use a variety of makea depending on availability.
  • It looks good and has an ideal surface for printing. Ideal internal sign material.  For external signs Aluminium -faced or Super-Tough fluted should be considered.
  • On smaller exposed signs – like Parking signs – the extra cost is small so why chance it go for Ali-Faced every time,
Super-Tough 6mm Fluted
  • Fluted material is best known for its use as Estate Agent Signs. Our fluted is 50% thicker & super -tough
  • We have yet to hear of a sign make form this material breaking,  Fix it screws & washer, or cable tie to any wall, post or fence. It needs no extra bracing.
  • Its only problem is that the fluted edge does not look too professional so is favourite for short-term use like event signs and  promotional signs.

Maximum Sign Length
  • The biggest size of panel that will fit on ou printing table is 1200 x 2400mm (4ft x 8ft)
  • We can print so accurately that a second sheet can be printed  that will match perfectly the first panel if butted together.
  • This means we have no maximum length or height as your sign can be created by butting together as many pieces as necessary to create your sign
  • Want a one-piece sign? Choose a size no more than 1.2m x 2.4m

Permanent or Temporary Stickers -The difference

Temporary Stickers
  • Temporary Stickers have an adhesive that stays tacky. The grip is not strong but is enough to keep it in position in most circumstances.
  • Using it on a Vehicle outside in all weathers is taking a chance but worth it for short-term messages.
  • The adhesive is applied in a dot pattern. This helps the air to escape when fitting. It also makes it easy to reposition your sticker till perfect.
  • We estimate good for a year inside & 3 months outside (if you are lucky)
  • To use on a window –  apply on the outside
  • Ideal for adding as a temporary message to an existing sign- see below

Permanent Stickers
  • Adhesive gets a strong grip after 24 hours but can be removed from most surfaces without damage if heated up first.
  • The expected life is 7 years but we hope you will have changed well before then (to keep the message fresh & eye-catching).
  • The adhesive has air escape channels so can be applied without bubbles or creases.
  • Don’t apply with water – It blocks up the air escape channels.

V-Boards

  • Created from 1 piece of 6mm Super-Tough Fluted
  • Fluted is so strong that a vertical slit down a flute will make a full-length hinge
  • 2 slits 50mm from each edge create a small flap to screw through to fix to the wall
  • 1 centre slit allows the board to bend in a V shape.
  • We have yet to hear of a V Board being affected by even the strongest wind
  • It is claimed that a V-Board is 200% more readable compared  to a 50% larger flat panel

Projecting Sign Panel

  • The Budget Wall Sign is manufactured from 2mm galvanised steel with radiused corners. It has a 75mm return fixing plate with three fixing holes.
  • Ideal if you are restricted on floor space.
  • They are powder-coated to high quality (pre-treated), in white.
  • 1 Panel Size – 420 x 615mm

 

BANNERS – STANDARD OR HEAVY-DUTY

  • Standard Banners are ideal for 90% of all banners
  • Heavy-Duty banners have twice the tear strength so are better for really exposed positions eg on Scaffolding or exposed railings.
  • Heavy-Duty Banners have a thicker & smoother surface making it a dream surface to print on so are worth considering for Photo banners that will be seen close up.
  • The thicker material is also good if you are going to roll up and reuse year after year
  • We must repeat – Standard Banners are ideal for 90% of all banners

BANNERS – Finishing Options

  • Standard finish –  double-thick hemming and metal eyelets all round at roughly 500mm intervals.  Fix with ball Bungies, Cable ties or screw & washer.
  • Finish Option 1 – No hems & no eyelets – this is better when hanging in a window using drawing pin suckers.
  • Finish Option 2 – Folded top & bottom to make a pocket for a scaffold pole or similar. We also add an eyelet in the corners at the start of each pocket.
  • Finish Option 3 –  A  smaller fold than for a scaffold pole but big enough to slide a broom handle or dowle in top & bottom. This is for internal drapes. It ensures a banner only attached at the top will hang beautifully.
  • If you want any of these finish options – ask in special instructions.
