The next step up on the ladder from print or flat cut vinyl.
Our expert signmakers can create bespoke designs, words, lettering, and shapes to order for any brand.
Combined with your choice of vinyl and illumination, brand colours and logos can be recreated with ease.With 10,000’s of combinations of effects, colours, fixings etc…. the list is endless.
The breakdown of materials below is by no means exhaustive, but it gives you a little information on each material to try to narrow down what you and your client want.
Composite trays or shapes, cut on our CNCs, can be made to your specifications, and are available in a good range of colours.
As with the aluminium trays, they are a great substrate for vinyl/print applications and the raised flat cut or built up letters. Logos of any shape, with or without illumination, these constantly prove to be a popular choice.
Acrylic letters are really the next step up the ‘price ladder’ from foamex and composite, and give a real quality feel to the job. They can be CNC or laser cut, and also perfect for engraving to give a really nice finish.
With thicknesses from 1mm upto 30mm available from stock, and plenty of colours you won’t struggle to find the right one for the job.
Suitable for letters and shapes of any shape and size.

Aluminium trays or shapes, cut on our CNCs, can be made to your specifications, powder coated to any colour with a RAL/BS code.
Suitable for vinyl/print applications and are perfect to showcase raised flat cut or built up letters and logos of any shape and size, with or without illumination.
Foamex letters & shapes are commonly used for internal or temporary signage. It’s cheap, it comes in various thicknesses, and has hundreds of applications.
They can be painted or covered in vinyl & print to give endless options.
Suitable for letters and shapes of any shape and size.
Stainless trays or shapes, cut with waterjet technology for presicion, can be made to your specifications. They can be laquered, distressed, or even powder coated to any colour with a RAL/BS code. This is the high end option and is particularly beneficial if you need signs to go on a coastal path.
Suitable for vinyl/print applications and are perfect to showcase raised flat cut or built up letters and logos of any shape and size, with or without illumination.
Mild steel is probably the most popular material at the moment, as a lot of customers are wanting the aged/rusty look, and mild steel is perfect for that.
We can quickly age the letters & shapes with various methods to give very different looks from the same material. You can have the industrial look which is very scuffed and slightly rusty, the ‘Rusty’ look is 100% rust coverage, and the heat treated version where heat and chemicals are applied to the material which gives a unique colour to the final letters.
None of these processes impact on the strength of the material and fixings, it is a surface effect which we protect with a clear laquer afterwards.
Suitable for letters and shapes of any shape and size.
Wood is a very general term which for us covers hard woods such as Oak, plywoods and MDFs.
Engraving, milling out, simple cutting, 3D programs, wood really is the CNC operators best friend and worst nightmare. It’s very easy to cut, and because of the 1000’s of ways wood can be finished, the results that can be achieved are pretty much limitless, therefore the intricate programming on the machines can take some time for the more complicated jobs. Simple letters and shapes are very straight forward.
If you have a specific type of wood in mind we may ask you to supply a sample for us to do a free of charge test job to check timings etc.
Suitable for letters and shapes of any shape and size.
