    Assuming you mean ‘flex face’ signs as I call them, Northern Sign Cases have quoted us a few times (never actually ordered) they don’t do the print, so speak to James @ Group 101, ship it to Northern Sign Cases and they’ll prepare the banner ready for stretching when installed… Free of charge. :thumbup2:

    as david says NSC…

    I have done a good few big signs like this in the past. signbase UK supplied most and i liked their tensioning system but they went bust a few years back. tried some others like kestrel and another two but i forget the names. those i did were not as easy a system to use as signbase but all do the job. signbase were not the originators of the system as i am sure it is an american product.

    biggest one i did was 35ft x 15ft i think… and it was illuminated. back then i used fluorescent tubes but would deficately opt for LED modules now, not small ones burt large modules by sloan or the like. billboards are often illuminated with these now. a lot less hassle and reduces spotting to near zero if laid out correct… something i hate with tubes.

    pitty the jobs now, you could see some different flexi systems dotted round the show at sign & digital.

    Thank you Gentlemen

    Just rung Terry for a quote.

    I did ring another company, but they seemed very rude and abrupt that I should dare to ask for a quote, so I didn`t bother with them…. There loss, I`ve no time for those who haven’t time for me. :tongue:
