House Builder Flags & Flag Installation

Johnsons supply a comprehensive range of printed self adhesive wall vinyls, wallpapers and wall graphics.  Whether its for internal or external use, smooth surfaces or brickwork, we have a vinyl suitable for all sites and situations.

Wall Vinyls - Text & Logo's

We can cut your vinyl to any shape.  From a simple cutter guide we can speedily cut or kiss-cut vinyl graphics to your design. Once printed and cut, the vinyls are "weeded" to remove the unwanted vinyl. These are then placed on application paper ready for application to the walls. Our fitting team are available to fit your graphics together with any internal or external signage.  

Wallpapers and Full Wall Coverings

When you want to make a bigger impression, our full wall coverings are expertly printed on to a range of wallpapers and self-adhesive vinyls. We can supply and install permanent and temporary vinyls, as well as clear and optically clear printed films for window graphics. We can help with a free site survey if you need to discuss your project in more detail. Here you can talk to our installation manager who can help you all the way through design, production and installation. Furthermore, we also match colours when they are printed on different substrates. Using six process colours, our presses amend values to match colours printed on different substrates, such as self adhesive vinyl, wallpaper, Foamex or Dibond. See the links below for more information on all our wall, glass and floor graphics. If you would like to discuss your requirements in more detail, contact one of the Sign & Display team on 01270 625207.

We can produce anything from small wooden signs to huge timber monoliths, built to last and giving a superior alternative to aluminium signs.

Creating Bespoke Wooden Signs

We can create your wooden signs to your brief, giving a fully bespoke service.  This might include cutting the wood to shape, or producing tongue and groove panels to produce larger wooden facia's.  Johnsons can offer visuals to show you how your signage will look, or we work to your own ideas and visuals. We can look at the practical use of your signage, including the colour and choice of wood as well as the position and fixing.  Our aim is to produce stunning timber signs that will stand the test of time with care before and after installation.

Wooden Signage with Cut Acrylic Text

There are a number of ways we can add text, logo's and graphics to your timber signage.  In this case, fine white acrylic cut text was added directly onto the timber.  We can also add aluminium tray signs to give depth and a clear area for additional graphics. Care is taken to produce long lasting wooden signs that fit your brief and be totally practical.  Finishing the signage is as important as the design, and we'll make sure your signage is built to the highest standards.

How to order wooden signage

We try to make things as easy as possible. If you already have a good idea of what is required, we can often quote from a sketch.  But sometimes a brief chat can help iron out any questions or difficulties. In the first instance call our signage manager Jamie Brelsford 01270 625207 0r use the form below.  We'll make sure we help you get exactly what you require. Wooden signs can often need a little more attention to look after over the years.  However, many hardwoods like Idigbo have a very stable and attractive finish without varnish.  However, oil or varnish will add life to your signs and we can help you with advice on how to keep your wooden signs looking great throughout the years.

We give you a professional and comprehensive printed hoarding service which includes site survey, print production and installation.  Your project will be managed from start to finish by our installation manager who, after surveying, will work with you and our pre-press and production teams, right through to managing the installation.

Durable Printed hoarding, with exceptional print quality

We use only the best aluminium composite substrates for all our signage and hoarding, ensuring a durable solution.  Anti-graffiti laminate can also be applied which not only protects but will enhance the graphic. We also print to a quality that reproduces your design with accurate colour reproduction using the much coveted AGFA workflow software.

Free Site Survey

We offer a free site survey to assess the area, take measurements and discuss the style of hoarding that is required.  At this stage we would measure and assess the hoarding structure the graphics will be fixed to, and then record any variations in height that may affect the run of the graphics.

Creating artwork for hoarding

If you are designing the hoarding panels, we would submit a scale template for you to render your graphics on to.  This will allow you to see exactly how your graphics will appear when the hoarding project is completed.  Call Jamie Brelsford on 01270 625 207 to discuss in more detail.

Hoarding Design Styles

There are a number of different ways to present your graphics onto existing hoarding structure.  A complete covering with anti-graffiti laminate and complete with header and kickers are the most popular, but you can reduce expenditure by using boards in a landscape orientation.  This band of graphics is usually centred across the hoarding, and as long as the hoarding is painted, it will be perfectly adequate to get your message across.

Other examples include acrylic logo's and text to add depth to the design.  Solar spotlights can add a little more attention to the site too.

We can always discuss your design ideas during the site survey, or by phone using images of the site. If you need us to help design your hoarding, our studio will work with you to go through the brief and present design ideas to scale.

Johnsons offer Event Signs, Directional and Temporary Signs with a selection of different boards and substrates.  Some have the simple advantage of being cheaper, but which substrate is the most practical for your event?

Printed Event Signs - Cut to shape

We print signage for many festivals and events throughout the year.  But its good to know exactly how you would like your signs.  Our flatbed printers print full colour and cut to the size you require including holes for cable ties or other fixings if required. We also cut your signs to any shape you require, including arrows or simply with radius corners.  Give the team a call to discuss this if providing artwork.

Installing Event Signs

We can make all our signage suitable for self-installation.  Whether you use existing structures and posts or its a quick to install, free standing frame, we can give you the best solutions. We also have a team of fitters to help you when required.  We have high access equipment for those difficult to access signs, and podium towers where needed.  All our fitters have relevant health and safety certification.

Selecting the right Board

Most event signage we supply is printed with single use in mind.  However, if you are organising an event which will be repeated, you may want to reuse your signs wherever possible.  There are three main temporary sign solutions.

Correx or Foamex Board?

Correx is a corrugated, fluted board, available in 4mm and 6mm thicknesses. Subsequently it is mainly used on estate agents boards and is regularly used as a short term, temporary sign.  It's advantage over other boards is the low cost and is the lightest of the substrates.

Foamex Boards

Foamex is a trade name for a rigid PVC board, available in a range of thicknesses including 3mm and 5mm.  The thickness of the Foamex board is very often dependent on the size of the sign.  This is the most ideal substrate if your attempting to re-use your event signage.

PVC Banner & PVC Mesh

PVC banner material and PVC Mesh is very often used as event signage, and is a good solution where large signage is required.  A very cost effective way of promoting events.  The PVC Mesh allows air to flow through the graphic causing less stress on the supporting structure.  Mesh can add a little more durability to graphics when positioned in windy areas and conditions. Dibond Signs Dibond is a trade name of an aluminium composite board.  It is the strongest of the boards listed here.  Used more as permanent signage as it weighs more than the others and it carries more of a premium cost.  If reusing the signage again, there's a much better chance of the Dibond sign outlasting the other boards, especially if laminated.  

When we were asked to design wooden monolith signs, our joiners designed three stunning timber signs. The signage needed to be sympathetic to the surroundings, reflect the local environment and offer a practical signage solution.

Wooden Totem/Monolith signs

We designed the wooden monolith and all the wooden signs into kit form.  This is so the signage could be put together on site in minimal time, and with relative ease. We have since produced a similar kit for another sign company who required wooden monolith signs of their own. However, this signage also included overhanging tray signs cut into the timber, together with laser cut acrylic lettering. (Some of the strokes on the text were cut as fine as 2mm). And some of the text needed to be applied direct to the timber facia. [caption id="attachment_905" align="alignleft" width="300"] The wooden monoliths in kit form[/caption]

Which Wood is Used on the Monolith?

Our client requested an Oak finish on the signs. We were able to create a similar colour and grain to Oak, from Idigbo.  This timber is very stable and is hard enough to take fixings extremely well.  Although the Idigbo doesn't necessarily need to be treated, though it does add to its durability and stability if a coating is added.  Call us to discuss which treatment is best for your wooden signage.  

Double sided wooden monolith signs

Although both monolith signs were double sided, we also crafted a single sided version of the signs which could be attached to railings.  Because this was a single sided wooden sign, the fixtures were finished on the back to a high standard, and painted to match the railings. All the signs were finished with a timber capping to add further protection to the sign.  Each sign being finished to the highest standards.  The finishing includes Oak pellets to hide any fixing heads as well as apexed caps to enhance drainage. Please don't hesitate to get in touch regarding any wooden signage, no matter how big or small the project.
