Illuminated Sign Trays- A Popular Signage Choice

Illuminated sign trays are a popular choice for signage outside restaurants, bars, and any commercial premises that want to attract passing trade during hours when it is dark, and this type of sign is one of our bestselling products. Illuminated sign trays can be made to your exact size specifications and offer a versatile and cost-effective way of ensuring your business stands out.

We offer three material options for you sign - aluminium composite which is lightweight, cost-effective and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Aluminium composite trays are available in a great range of standard colours or you can be wrapped in vinyl print or wood effect film. We offer an aluminium option which is more robust and ideal for outdoor applications. The tray is folded, welded, filled and smoothed to create seamless corners and joins. This option can be powder coated to any standard RAL colour. Lastly we offer a stainless steel tray that is available in either a brushed or mirrored chrome finish. This option is suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage, and the marine grade steel is ideal for outdoor signage.

Your illuminated tray sign is stencil cut with your chosen design (we offer an excellent design service if required) and then backed in an opal acrylic which is lit from within the sign using high bright LED lights. All of the wiring for the LED modules is hidden within the body of the tray, and the high bright LED modules are low wattage for low energy consumption. Your illuminated tray sign is supplied with fixing rails and an IP68 outdoor rated power supply. The tray can also be used to house your power supply if required.

In addition to our illuminated sign trays, we also design, manufacture and install non-illuminated custom sign trays, as well as projecting tray signs and illuminated projecting tray signs.

I've had my trough lighting installed for several weeks now and they have made such a difference to my business throughout the dark evenings. They are extremely well made, and I have no reason not to believe that they won't last for years. I'll be back soon for more signage.

I enquired through the website about some 'flat cut letters' and quickly had a response back asking me further questions and offering advice as to what my best options were. Within a few hours, my quote was with me, and at reasonable pricing. I took their installation service too, which was extremely professional.

I ordered some acrylic plaques online for our school, and the quality is up there with the best I have ever seen. Perfect glass-like perspex, perfectly cut edges, high-quality print that is on the rear so cannot get damaged, and lovely studs. If I ever need more, I'll certainly come back here.
