Weatherproof, which is the whole point
Aluminium composite, printed and built to be outdoors. That is what separates it from a display board, and it is why it costs about twice one of the same size.
Aluminium signs
Goes outside, and stays there.
The out-of-hours number changes. The sign on the gate does not have to. An aluminium sign carries a code rather than a phone number, so the thing that goes stale lives on a screen instead of screwed to a wall.

Why this one
A weatherproof aluminium sign for a door, a gate, a car park or a wall. Goes outside and stays there.
The number behind it can change
Point the code at a different profile and the sign carries on being correct. Season staff, a new duty phone, a moved office - none of them need a new sign.
Fixed at eye height, read at eye height
Drill holes and rounded corners are made to order, so it goes on a gate, a door, a post or a hoarding without improvisation.

What happens if you ask
Five steps, and you can stop at any of them
Design it, or do not
Make it in the Design Studio, send us artwork, or let us set it from the profile you already have. None of the three costs anything and none of them commits you.
Tell us what you need
Size, quantity, and where it is going. About a minute. Those three are what a price depends on, which is why the form asks for them rather than for a paragraph.
A person prices it
By hand, not by calculator, with the delivery inside the number rather than added later. You get a link to the quote with the specification on it.
You accept it, or you do not
The quote becomes an order when you accept and pay it, and not before. Nothing is made, and nothing is charged, while you are thinking about it.
It is made and sent
Made to order and delivered. The code on it stays yours: point it somewhere else next year and the thing you are holding carries on working.
Why order it here
Four things a printer cannot say
A person prices it
Not a calculator with a margin baked in. Sizes, quantities and finishes change the cost, so somebody looks at what you asked for.
Delivery is in the number
Quoted with the item rather than added at a checkout. The figure you accept is the figure you pay.
Nothing is made until you say so
A quote is an invitation to buy. It becomes an order when you accept and pay it, and not a moment earlier.
The code outlives the print
Point it at something else whenever you like. The printed thing does not have to be reprinted because a number changed.
Where it goes
Gates, yard entrances, car parks, site hoardings, moorings, unit doors, anywhere somebody arrives and finds nobody there. It is the one that answers "who do I ring" at seven in the evening.
What it is made of
- 3mm aluminium composite, printed CMYK, weatherproof - which is what separates it from the boards.
- Drill holes and rounded corners offered.
- Costs about twice a board of the same size.
What it is not
It is a sign, not a lock and not an intercom - it hands somebody your details, it does not let them in. And like everything printed here, it is made to order, so the price and the delivery come back together in a quote rather than off a shelf.
The code behind it
Every one of these carries its own code, and the code points at a live profile rather than at a phone number. Change the profile and the printed thing stays correct; point the code somewhere else and it starts doing a different job without being reprinted. Each code keeps its own history, so a set of them tells you which one people used. More on that in how the codes work, and the whole range is on one page.
If it is for a stand or a show, the events page puts the staff cards, the table stand and the board together in one setup.
Questions people ask before they fill the form in
- What makes it weatherproof?
- It is aluminium composite rather than board, printed and built to be outside. That is the whole difference, and it is why it costs about twice a board of the same size.
- Can it be drilled for fixing?
- Yes. Drill holes and rounded corners are made to order, so it goes onto a gate, a door, a post or a hoarding without improvisation.
- What happens when the out-of-hours number changes?
- Nothing happens to the sign. It carries a code, not a number, so you change the profile behind it and the sign on the gate is correct again.
