    Hi All!

    Just back from the Autosport show in Birmingham!

    Can anyone tell me where is the best place to get moulded lettering to fix onto metal cladding?? I think it’s to be roughly 400mm high. Does anyone know if it comes already coloured and a rough cost??

    Cheers all!

    Gavin

    Just a thought Gav…

    As you’re new to the trade, make sure you contact the two main trade magazines here in the UK – namely ‘Sign Directions’ and ‘SignUpdate’ – to ask them to put you on their mailing lists…it’s FREE 😆

    This isn’t to say you shouldn’t ask here, it’s very important that you do. Others then get a real feel of products and suppliers from the replies…

    …it just occured to me that, being new to the trade, you may not be getting the mags mentioned – that’s all! 😉

    more soon

    Just checked Gav, they must be re-doing the site, normally there are a few pages with moulded and flatcut letters, font styles and prices. Give them a call on Monday and ask for a brochure.

    i use accent most of the time. havent compared prices so sparkys maybe better, regarding costs…

    they do have lots to choose from and have been in the game for many years.

    as for the mags.. not sure about sign directions they may have a site but if you click on sign-up dates advert on our homw page you will be taken to there site.. please mention you are part of the group and how you found them 😉
