Panel Signs

Versatile, professional and designed to suit every setting.

Panel signs are one of the most adaptable signage types available. They provide clean edges, strong visibility and a professional finish, making them suitable for almost any business or organisation. Panels can be mounted directly to walls, fixed on posts, shaped to your logo, or fabricated as fascias and tray systems. This flexibility makes them popular for retail stores, restaurants, universities, stadiums and corporate offices across the UK.

At Benson Signs, we’ve been producing high-quality panel signs since 1969. All work is carried out in our 50,000 sq ft Liverpool facility. Everything is handled in-house, from CNC routing and digital printing to powder coating and final assembly. This means every sign we deliver meets our standards for accuracy, finish and durability.

Design, Compliance & Planning

Effective panel signage requires more than fabrication. We provide full support from design to compliance:

Design visuals

Scaled artwork, samples and renders so you know exactly what to expect.

Surveys

Precise measurements, substrate checks and fixing recommendations for a secure fit.

Planning permission

we manage Advertisement Consent applications when required, especially for illuminated fascias or large wall panels.

Compliance

Panels designed with wind-load calculations, safety considerations and electrical compliance (for illuminated trays).

For developers or contractors, we can provide early input on design and buildability to avoid costly revisions later.

Materials & Build Quality

Panel signs need to balance appearance with performance. We specify high-quality materials that suit your site, your budget and your branding.

Aluminium and ACM (Dibond)

Lightweight, strong and corrosion resistant, ideal for outdoor panels.

Stainless Steel

Brushed or polished finishes for premium, long-term applications.

Acrylic

Smooth faces and crisp edges, ideal for illuminated trays or shopfront panels.

Foamex panels

Smooth faces and crisp edges, ideal for illuminated trays or shopfront panels.

Timber

sealed hardwood or softwood panels for heritage or traditional projects.
