How to Change to a different shape?
  • We have chosen a 1 by 2 shape because we love that size for site boards. Having 1 size also helps when creating the 100+ templates needed to cover our 12 most popular trades
  •  Having 1 shape is no problem to our customers as it is so easy to transfer your design to any shape & size you need. Create your design on our standard shape & click the RED Save button then follow the steps below
  • Go to “Everyday Signs” or “Custom Banners” & choose a size that you need then go to the design area. Ignore the templates on the left & click the Green “My Designs” Button & download your saved Site Board design
  • Tweak your design so that it looks good on your new shape. If you have any trouble doing this then click the ‘Tweak for me” button & we will sort it for you.

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.
