How much does a sign tray cost?
Sign tray prices vary depending on its size, material, finish and whether it includes features such as illumination or 3D lettering. A simple printed aluminium composite tray is a cost-effective option, while illuminated sign trays or those with built-up lettering represent a more premium investment.
We provide bespoke quotations to ensure you receive the right solution for your budget.
Can sign trays be customised to my brand?
Absolutely. Every sign tray is made to order and can be customised with your logo, colours, typography, graphics, finishes and lighting options. Whether you’re looking for a simple printed fascia or a premium 3D illuminated sign, we’ll tailor the design to suit your brand.
What can be mounted onto a sign tray?
Sign trays are incredibly versatile and can be finished with printed vinyl graphics, flat cut lettering, built-up letters, illuminated logos or a combination of these to achieve the desired look.
Can sign trays include 3D lettering?
Yes. Flat cut lettering and built-up letters can both be mounted onto a sign tray to create a premium, three-dimensional effect that adds depth, enhances visibility and gives your signage a more sophisticated appearance.
Can sign trays be illuminated?
What are sign trays made from?
Most sign trays are manufactured from aluminium composite (ACM), a lightweight, rigid and weather-resistant material that provides an excellent balance of durability, appearance and cost. Premium projects may also use solid aluminium depending on the specification.
What is the difference between aluminium and aluminium composite sign trays?
Aluminium composite (ACM), often referred to as a Dibond tray, consists of two thin aluminium sheets bonded to a solid core. It offers excellent durability, a smooth finish and outstanding value, making it the most popular choice for commercial signage.
Solid aluminium is a premium alternative that is stronger and more robust, making it suitable for specialist applications. However, it is significantly more expensive, which is why aluminium composite is often preferred for the majority of fascia and building signs.
How long do sign trays last?
High-quality aluminium composite sign trays are designed to provide many years of reliable outdoor performance. Their lifespan depends on the environment, installation and maintenance, but they are built to withstand the UK’s weather conditions.
Why choose a sign tray instead of a flat sign board?
Sign trays offer a more premium finish than a standard flat sign board. Their folded edges conceal fixings, creating a cleaner, more professional appearance. They also provide the perfect base for adding flat cut or built-up lettering, allowing you to create a bespoke sign with greater depth and visual impact.
