Tray Signs with Vinyl & Flat Cut

Fret Cut & Push-through Sign Trays

Tray signs are formed from folded aluminium or composite panels to create a rigid, seamless structure that supports printed graphics, vinyl lettering or illuminated elements. Their depth gives them a strong architectural look, making them ideal for shopfronts, entrances and high level branding where clarity and durability are essential. With options for fret cut illumination, push through letters, built up letters and bespoke finishes, tray signs provide a versatile way to achieve a professional and high impact display.

Tray signs offer a bold, contemporary appearance with excellent durability, making them one of the most popular choices for commercial building fronts. Their structural rigidity, design flexibility and compatibility with lighting upgrades allow brands to achieve clear visibility and a premium finish across busy urban and leisure environments.

Strong Structural Design

Constructed from folded aluminium or ACM, tray signs provide a rigid panel with clean edges that maintains stability and appearance over long term exterior use.

Multiple Illumination Options

Tray signs can incorporate fret cut details, push through acrylic letters or internal LED illumination to create a bright, high impact visual effect.

Flexible Branding Surface

The face of the tray can be finished with full colour print, cut vinyl, textured coatings or integrated lettering systems, allowing complete alignment with your brand style.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Tray signs are usually produced from aluminium or aluminium composite (ACM), chosen for their resistance to rust, lightweight structure, rigid form and ability to hold crisp folds without warping. These materials provide excellent long term performance for exterior signage.

  • Tray signs support fret cut faces with internal LEDs, push through acrylic letters, halo illuminated built up letters, and rear or edge lighting solutions. The right method depends on required brightness, brand style and the visual impact you want to achieve.

  • Tray signs can be manufactured in a wide range of sizes, from small entrance displays to large scale building frontage panels. Larger signs may use sectional fabrication to ensure structural stability and clean alignment during installation.

  • Options include powder coated colours, matte, satin or gloss finishes, metallic effects, textured coatings, printed graphics and premium vinyl overlays. This allows full customisation to match brand guidelines or architectural design.

  • They are frequently used on retail shopfronts, gyms, hospitality venues, hotel entrances, leisure centres and commercial buildings where strong visibility and a contemporary appearance are required.
