Projecting
Signage
Projecting signs are a great way to help your store stand out to passing traffic. They help customers identify your business on busy high streets and are a great navigational tool. Projecting signs can be seen from a distance and are perfect for stores with limited exterior space. Projecting signs come in many different shapes and sizes – there are some standard ‘off the shelf’ signs or you can custom build your own depending on size, location etc. Below we have listed the most popular projecting signs suitable for the auctioneer industry to give you an idea of what is available.

Illuminated Lightbox Sign
Projecting signs can also be illuminated for even greater effect! there is no disputing the impact an illuminated outdoor sign has on passing trade when compared to daylight signage. Again these are custom made to order but available in standard shapes such as circular, oval and rectangular. They are made from an aluminium profile which can be power coated RAL colour of choice with bright white LED lights illuminating the sign from within. The face panels are usually 5mm opal acrylic with vinyl graphics applied to both sides of the light box. LED lighting is low voltage with low running cost with a 50,000 hours life. LED lighting often gives a more consistent light as opposed to fluorescent lighting.
Custom Made Box Sign
A projecting box sign is where a metal box section is used to make a framework. The sign panel material is folded along the edges to form a lid effect which then rests over the framework. The panel part of the sign is fixed to the frame along the sides and top and thereby not in the face of the actual sign. Depending on the location the sign may be made from aluminium or steel. Aluminium is a lighter material and so easier to install but steel may be necessary as it is stronger and heavier. This type of projecting sign has a higher end finish and is often used for corporate signage. Custom box signs are also used a lot as a main business sign – you never get a second chance to make a first impression! These box signs are custom made to suit any size shop front – especially if the surface is uneven. A box sign is ideal for uneven surfaces, once it is securely attached to the wall it creates a perfectly smooth surface to display your message.
Traditional Projecting Signs
The signs in this category are deemed traditional because of their appearance and connection with certain industries. Typically these signs can be seen outside historic ‘traditional’ style building or if a business image is based on history of tradition. A black sometimes twisted wrought iron bar extends from the wall with a scroll which can be above, below or in a decorative arch above the bar. A panel is then attached to the bar with stainless steel fixings which makes it the perfect outdoor sign. Every sign installed is a reflection of that business, and that is the case with these signs in particular. The panels can be stationary or swinging, and full colour graphics are applied to either side to double the impact.
