The Folded Blade Sign

The Blade Sign is produced in 3mm aluminium with a folded edge which allows you to easily mount the sign flush to a flat surface. The predrilled fixing holes make this signboard system a popular choice amongst shop owers.

With all components produced in metal, this ensures the longevity of the sign as well as it being suitable for external use throughout the seasons.

Projection signs are a really good way of displaying your shop name and the services you offer in a way which is clearly visible to pedestrians as they walk along the high street. A projection sign is usually positioned at a 90 degree angle to the building making it much more visible.

All signs are tailor made to order and so the dimensions of the sign can be manufactured to suit your exact requirements which ensures that your sign mounts perfectly to the building. The majority of hanging signs are double-sided, however single-sided signboards can be manufactured if needed.

The sign board is painted to your desired RAL or Pantone colour before having the logo graphics applied. The logo or text is usually produced in a pre-coloured vinyl decal which is applied flush to both sides of the sign, however other options such as gold leaf, full colour printed vinyl graphics and also slightly raised acrylic lettering is available upon request.

Painted in a range of RAL and Pantone Colours

Available in a whole range of colours and finishes, such as gloss or matte, the projection sign boards can be powder-coated in a specific RAL colour or wet-sprayed to your desired Pantone colour reference.

Powder-coated paint colours are typically available in a range of RAL paint colours which is a widely used colour range available across most industries where commercial grade paint is used. All RAL coloured paint is supplied by reputable paint manufactures to ensure the paint is as close a match to the colour as possible.

If you are unsure of the RAL colour reference, or if there isn’t a close-enough colour match using the RAL colour guide then we are able spray paint the sign boards using a Pantone colour reference.  

When choosing your desired colour, it's advised to choose your colour reference from a physical colour chart or swatch book so you can get a true indication on how the colour appears. When you view colour references online, they can differ slightly depending on your screen resolution and brightness.

All signboards are painted in an architectural grade powder-coated or automotive acrylic twin pack paint finish to ensure they stand the test of time.

Logo & lettering produced in vinyl - applied to both sides

The final stages of producing the hanging sign is applying the logo or lettering to the face of the sign. Typically, the same design is applied to both sides however a different design can be used on each side if preferred.

The positioning and size of the logo lettering is usually determined during the initial design stages when the sign was designed on a computer screen and so the final stages of production is simply a case of applying the graphics to the sign board.

Adding The Finishing Touches

For most projection signs, vinyl is the most traditionally used material as it's relatively cost effective, easy to work with and it's flexible enough to suit most logo designs.

Vinyl is great for creating sharp lines for fonts and accurate shapes for logos. Available in a magnificent range of colours from pale shades to vibrant bold colours, this material and method of production is used across the signage industry as it's so versatile.

Additionally, if the design you'd like to display on your hanging sign comprises of a complex digital image which can only be achieved by digitally printing the design then we're able to print your design onto a vinyl transfer which is UV lamented and applied to the sign board.

Alternative methods for producing the logo design are available such as 24ct gold leafing used to produce the logo, or even individual acrylic letters to create raised letters.
