SignTrade Letters Launches ReadySign system for ‘instant’ signage

SignTrade Letters has launched an innovative all-in-one sign system called ReadySign.

ReadySign is an innovative product offering a complete and instant signage manufacturing process for SignTrade’s existing lettering system. This comprises an aluminium composite box supplied for the signage lettering complete with wall bracket. This makes for ease of use, instant results, hassle-free yet perfect results and cheaper installation costs. In short, it provides what every sign-fitter and retailer wants: signage, at the ready, and at a fraction of the cost of normal sign installation.

The lettering can employ SignTrade’s unique chrome lettering, ChromaSign or any of its other lettering products. The ReadySign box frames are made to order and are fabricated from a single panel, grooved to provide the 3-D frame, from material that is aluminium coated with a polyethylene core. This makes the box-frames lightweight yet durable.

ReadySign is hugely versatile as it is available in a range of colours: blue, red, yellow, green, black, mirror and brushed aluminium effect and can be covered with plain or printed vinyl of your choice.

Operations Manager of SignTrade Letters, Daniel Oliver, said: “I am not aware of any other complete sign system currently on the market. By providing a one-stop-shop for shop-sign fitters, we are offering a service that is efficient and cost-effective as it cuts down on expensive on-site labour costs and eliminates the risk of signage failing to fit. With ReadySign, we can even mount all the letters for you so you just take it out of the box and fit it. With this system, the exercise is perfect every time. Often, the fascia is the last thing that a retailer or other business owner considers.

“The last minute rush to find lettering from one source, the backboard from another and labour to complete and install the job often produces a major headache for a business owner. With SignTrade’s new service, such problems are eliminated”.

SignTrade, a BSGA member, also produces moulded and flat-cut letters and can produce illuminated signs. All products are manufactured at its London factory.

SignTrade has an Absolute & Golden Opportunity to Provide a Sign of the Times
SignTrade Letters Ltd has provided the signage for ABSOLUTE Radio, the newly rebranded radio station that was formerly Virgin Radio. The company made two signs, one external and one internal - a two metre-long sign which adorns the glamorous reception of the radio station’s headquarters, in London’s Golden Square. Both were produced with only a three-day turnaround and the signs feature in the television commercials for the new station.

SignTrade Letters is a family firm based in north London. It fabricates signs as well as producing moulded and flat-cut lettering. Operations Manager Daniel Oliver said: “We are thrilled to have been involved in the re-branding exercise for ABSOLUTE. SignTrade Letters is known for its ability to deliver high quality signage on time and to budget. For a prestigious operation such as ABSOLUTE, image is all-important and we are proud to have contributed in a small way to making the image sparkle”.

We're now back after the most amazing week in the history of SignTrade Letters.

Sign UK 2005 was our most successful show to date with record breaking entry figures and visitors to our stand. Our stand was the Vision of Blue standing out against all the other stands (picture below just in case you never got to see us).

This year saw the launch of several wonderfully innovative products that were received with wide acclaim.

• ChromaSign - Our hugely popular chrome plated letters were the uncrowned stars of the show. This finish is perfectly suitable for outdoor and indoor use and samples will sent to all the visitors who requested one. We have already started to take orders for this unique product.

• Moulded 'Flats' - This new style was a real winner with many people asking for samples. Thinner than a moulded letter but cut to a flat cut letter thickness. This NEW style of letter combines both the properties of moulded and flat cut letters. This new letter will be available on the new showboard for demonstration purposes.

• Acrysign 8mm coloured acrylic - We are delighted to now be the sole distributor of the UK's first stock 8mm coloured acrylic. Sheet sizes as small as 1200 x1200 as a minimum order. All available for delivery next day. Swatches can be requested and are sent on a first come basis.

• Circlite - Our domes and dishes perfectly complimented our wall mounted sign solution in a box. Available fully wired and in 2 sizes within 7 days.

All these products are now available so please contact us with any enquiries you might have. Chrome samples are being sent out and we have another 800 in production so be sure to ask for one so you can offer your clients the very latest in sign making materials.

It was great to meet and chat with all of you who came and our only regret was that the show wasn't longer and that we couldn't spend as much time as we wished with everyone.
