Flex Face Signs
Flex Face Signs are very common and seen throughout the UK in retail parks and high streets. They’re very tough, completely weather resistant, and designed for the outdoors. They’re made using a tensioned PVC banner stretched across the face of the sign which is where they get the name ‘flex face’ from. This means they’re very scalable (they can be very big!) and much lighter than the alternatives. They’re therefore much easier to transport and install. Of course, we’d normally also do the installation for you along with the in-house manufacture. The frames are generally made from aluminium, which is very durable. Besides the cost and safety benefits, these signs can be easily backlit, and if you decide to replace them, you only have to replace the PVC skin.
Flex Face Signage is available in illuminated or non-illuminated with small differences between the two (simply the depth of the case has to allow for the light source)

Flex Face Sign Process

Flex Face Project: Sheffield and Hallamshire County FA
A special machine called an aluminium bender was used to create a circle from the metal to form the football association logo. A flexible printed PVC banner fascia was stretched across the front of the light box and clipped in position to create a skin over the aluminium frame. This skin was lit from behind with low energy LEDs to illuminate the banner graphic from the inside. The LED lights are cheap to run and create an outstanding effect for a high impact sign.

Questions About Flex Face Signs
What is a flex face sign?
A flex face sign is a large-format illuminated sign made from a fabricated aluminium frame with a flexible printed PVC banner fascia stretched across the front and clipped in position to create a skin over the frame. This skin is lit from behind with low energy LEDs to illuminate the banner graphic from the inside.
What makes flex face signs cost effective?
Flex face signs are a great option because they are really cost effective. The system used to make them is simple and versatile, and unlike ordinary banner signs, they don’t need eyelets, which cuts maintenance down giving them a long service life. When you want to update your sign, you only need to replace the PVC skin rather than the entire unit.
Where can flex face signs be used?
Outdoor flex face light boxes are especially suitable for outdoor signage for retail parks, business signage, and shop signs. They can also be used to create large illuminated letters for completely bespoke large format illuminated signs.
