    Pre-Designed Systems





    Post Mounted (Plaza)

    Post-mounted sign trays are a type of signage where a flat panel is given folded returns then mounted on posts, offering a versatile upgrade from standard flat panels. This style of sign tray has become the back-bone of commercial signage, commonly used for entrance signs and site branding. Manufactured from high quality aluminium, tray signs offer complete creative freedom - including fret-cut designs, internal illumination, and bold stand-off lettering - making them the go-to choice for standout signage. Fully manufactured by us, with fixing holes aligned to the bolt ports in the sign posts for a quick and simple installation.

    Basic sign tray systems can be quoted for / purchased via our 3D Sign Builder.
