Tens of thousands of these signs are used throughout the commercial world. They are very good value in price, versatile, durable and suitable for almost any size. Best suited for single sided use. Posts are mounted behind the panel on plate and post rather than either side.

Why Choose Plate and Post Signs?

Durable and Flexible Signage Solution

Plate and post signs are a popular choice for commercial properties because they offer durability, flexibility, and excellent value for money. Each plate and post panel is crafted from 3mm aluminium and printed in full colour on one side. Additionally, you can choose from 24 standard colours or opt for a powder coat in any RAL colour to perfectly match your branding. Since aluminium naturally resists rust, rot, and corrosion, your signs stay looking fresh for years with minimal maintenance.

Custom Plate and Post Sign: Sizes and Shapes

One of the main advantages of plate and post signs is their versatility. Moreover, you can cut the panels to nearly any shape or size, making them suitable for a variety of locations and purposes. We attach the posts at the back using visible fixings, therefore providing a practical and cost-effective solution. However, if you need both sides printed or prefer a cleaner finish, sleeved signs may be a better alternative.

Multi-Occupancy and Sectioned Panel and post signage

For sites with multiple tenants or businesses, plate and post signs are ideal. In fact, we can divide the panel into sections, which makes updating or changing just one part much simpler and more cost-effective than replacing the entire sign. Consequently, they are perfect for industrial estates, commercial entrances, office parks, and car parks.

Professional Installation by Impact Sign Solutions

At Impact Sign Solutions, we ensure every plate and post installation is safe and long-lasting. Before installation, we run a specialist loading programme to determine the correct post thickness and hole depth. This way, your sign is securely fixed and able to withstand outdoor conditions for years to come. Furthermore, our experienced team has successfully installed these signs across a wide range of commercial locations, helping businesses maintain a professional and consistent presence.

Maintenance

Care of your new rigid letters

Congratulations, you have just bought ‘the best’. Impact Signs use ‘new generation’ materials for all of their fascia signs. Everything that we use is…

  • UV stable (fade resistant).
  • Waterproof.
  • Rot proof
  • Virtually maintenance free.
  • All you have to do is clean with soapy water and a sponge as required. That’s it!
If you wish to remove the sign writing (vinyl only) at any stage, this is relatively easy to do, just use the following guidelines:
  • Use heat! Vinyl can be removed easier when it is warm. A hair dryer is the best tool for the job. Caution! Do not use hot air guns, these may burn the fascia!
  • To remove the glue residue use white spirit. Let it soak in for approx 2 minutes first, glue should then be easy to use.
  • Do not use a knife to remove vinyl, a plastic knife is best, or ask us for a squeegee. The following are only available for our Plate & Post systems.
