    Posted by Lorraine Clinch on August 10, 2012 at 1:04 pm

    A good customer is after a sign for a business park, and would like changeable panels. I have talked to Ashby, who don’t do this type of sign, and I’ve looked through the toolbar, but nothing is jumping out at me.
    Does anyone know of / recommend a supplier of this type of sign please?

    I need a quick answer if possible, as my customer has been waiting a while whilst I’ve been searching. 😥 😳

    Thanks
    Lorraine

    Don’t Spandex do something like that?

    Hi Neil, I have just spoken to Spandex, thought I had found the answer, but the ‘Slatz’ system is for indoor use only.

    Please has anyone any other supplier names? Getting worried now, I’ve been on this for a week now, and getting nowhere.

    I thought Signfix used to do that sort of thing too but no sign of it on their website that I can see. Might still be worth a call?

    Waiting on William Smith to get back to me, apparently they "might" be able to do it.
    Is there an extrusion available to make the runners for slatted boards do you know?

    Thanks for your input Neil.

    I don’t do this sort of thing nowadays but did lots of it years back. I thought both Spandex and Signfix (?) both did systems like this. There was one other as well that I’ve been scratching my head trying to remember, but I think Ashby may have bought them out. If anything else comes to mind I’ll let you know.

    Hi Lorraine
    why does he want changeable panels..could you not suggest that the area where a changeable panel would be could be an area that you did a sticker which could be changed when necessary?
    just a thought

    Hi Cheryl, how are you getting on with your printer?

    The problem is that the customers premises are an approx 40 miles round trip, which isn’t feasible for me, but he can get the boards to me easily, and could wait while I re-did what was necessary. It’s likely to only be one change at any one time.
