TYPES OF SIGNAGE
PROCESSES AND MATERIALS
The Techniform crew can provide all manners of signage, including, but not limited to:
COMPUTER CUT VINYL TEXT AND SIMPLE GRAPHICS
A process often used on ‘Tenant boards’ for our Management Company clients, allowing easy and cost effective updating when a tenant changes
DIGITALLY PRINTED GRAPHICS
This process allows endless colours, complicated designs and can be in the form of a sign panel, vehicle graphic, promotional sticker or, with the addition of over lamination, a hard wearing ‘wallpaper’ that can be applied in schools to portray a timeline to aid learning for example, or a woodland scene in a maternity unit to brighten up a corridor (all meeting infection control standards of course) – banners for school fetes or cost effective large site safety signage are also digitally printed.
LASER ETCHING
Pens, tools, keytags, promotional items, can all be indelibly marked by laser
SILK-SCREEN PRINTING
Used when several hundred, identical items are required in the most cost effective way, Estate agent boards for example
BUILT UP / CUT OUT LETTERS
A cut out letter or simple logo that is ‘three dimensional’ and will stand off from a wall – manufactured from a variety of materials dependant on their final use, foamex for cheap, short term exhibition use, through to Stainless steel with a soldered return for that corporate building external sign or stunning reception. Using acrylic / Perspex can produce very effective cut out letters and these can be illuminated.
CHEMICAL ETCHING
Often used to produce commemorative plaques, materials used include Stainless Steel, for a contemporary look or Brass when something more classical is required. Our plaques have been unveiled by Her Majesty the Queen.
THERMOPLASTIC ROAD MARKINGS
Quick, effective, long lasting markings that can be applied to tarmac / asphalt, brick block, paving slabs etc, used for playground marking in a variety of colours and to ANY design, ‘No Smoking’ pictograms in hospitals, car park bay marking, hatched areas, instructions on the road (in different languages if required), NHS logos, warehouse marking etc …
POST MOUNTED SIGNS / MAP CABINETS
Corporate identity signs outside an office, electric car charging point instructions, finger posts, maps in illuminated cabinets for wayfinding, ‘Street’ nameplates (we can supply embossed street nameplates too !), we can produce signage with track on the rear to fit to existing posts or we can supply / supply & install posts to suit
MODULAR SIGN SYSTEMS
These are generally an extruded Aluminium sign system that can be bought in ‘off the shelf’- they comprise of planks that link to each other or to a backing plate and provide a corporate, uniform look to directional signage – there are both internal and external systems available and we can often match to your existing system if required
Above are just a few processes and materials that we offer.
