When is a sign not a sign?

The scope of our industry is ever-growing to enable flexibility around design without impacting on budgets. Here are just some of our favourite ‘non-traditional signs’: Wallpaper Blank walls are the perfect canvas for digitally printed wallcoverings, whether you’re aiming to create an engaging environment, display your company timeline or showcase campaigns and promotions. A third* of people agree their meeting rooms are dull and uninspiring, while a further 21%* say they would be more productive in a better designed office. Using non-traditional signage such as wallpaper and wallcoverings is a cost-effective way to change the way your employees feel at work.
Window Graphics Tasteful window graphics are essential for grabbing the attention of customers, are invaluable for brand recognition and can also offer functionality and privacy. Whether you need to update your office décor, present your brand, showcase temporary promotions or increase privacy, window graphics are an attractive and low-cost solution. Ranging from frosted vinyl options to specialist one-way and solar control film, this versatile option can completely transform the look and practicality of your premises and bring your brand to life.
Architectural finishes Ideal for changing the look and feel of almost any surface, architectural films provide a seamless finish for a dynamic upgrade in any environment. Whether refacing existing signage, upgrading countertops or brightening your washrooms, there are over 1500 patterns, textures and effects available to transform your spaces. Upcycling your interiors not only reduces costs, but also unnecessary waste, and is an economical method of achieving the same look and feel of more costly materials.
Digital signage From freestanding digital screens and interactive displays to video walls and digital menu boards, the capabilities of digital signage go far beyond the traditional static sign. The possibilities for retail businesses are vast with 80% of brands experiencing a significant increase of up to 33%** in additional sales after implementing digital signage, while healthcare centres and hospitals can greatly benefit from digitally registering patients and displaying important health-related information.
3D printed signs The scope of 3D printing has drastically increased over the years, with the medium now being used in the signage industry. While there is great skill in hand-producing built up letters and flat cut lettering, 3D printing technologies can deliver the finished product straight from a design file. The flexibility in design and customisation is a huge advantage for many sectors, where identical models can be produced from the click of a button if you need multiple versions of the same sign.
Having recently won the Innovation Award at the British Signs Awards 2019, Signs Express is a trusted pair of hands when it comes to 3D printing your signage. With the world of signage encompassing a vast array of ever-expanding solutions, we are committed to delivering our customers the next level in what is possible within this incredibly diverse industry. *Research conducted by YouGov & Saracen Interiors, workplaceinsight.net **Digital Signage Today
