Key Features

Materials & Print Options

Tray signs are typically produced from aluminium or aluminium composite (ACM). Both materials are weather-resistant, durable and low-maintenance. Aluminium gives a premium, rigid finish, while ACM provides a lightweight alternative for smaller projects.

Graphics can be applied in different ways:

ll-colour UV print for bolFud designs

Vinyl overlays for text and logos

Cut-out details with acrylic or built-up lettering for added depth

Illuminated faces with LED modules for maximum visibility

Protective coatings such as anti-graffiti or UV lamination can be added to improve lifespan.

Graphics can be added in several ways:

Protective coatings like anti-graffiti films and weatherproof finishes can be applied to extend the life of your sign.

Size & Specification Guide

Tray signs are made to order, so you can choose the exact dimensions. Common sizes include:

500 x 500 mm

Compact, ideal for smaller shops or offices.

600 x 800 mm

A versatile mid-size, easy to read from a distance.

700 x 900 mm

Larger, perfect for busy high streets or wider pavements.

The depth of the tray is usually 50 mm to 100 mm. Slim trays create a sleek finish, while deeper trays allow for internal LED illumination.

Signs can also be made to custom shapes. Circles, ovals or logos with contour-cut outlines give businesses a unique look that stands out against standard rectangles.

Mounting & Fixing Options

Hanging tray signs are usually mounted on wall brackets or fixed with suspension kits. Brackets can be simple steel arms or decorative styles, depending on the setting. Signs can also be double-sided for maximum visibility on busy streets.
For illuminated options, trough lights or internal LEDs can be added. All fixings are chosen for strength and safety, with powder-coated finishes for durability.

  • Aluminium trays give a sleek, premium finish that works well for modern brands
  • Double-sided trays are ideal for projecting onto high streets or walkways
  • Panels can be updated or replaced while keeping the same bracket
  • Powder-coated finishes are available in any RAL colour

Tray signs arrive ready to fit, complete with brackets and fixings. The panel slots onto the bracket and is secured with bolts or clips.

If you’ve chosen illumination, a qualified installer must complete the electrical connections. For safety and peace of mind, our nationwide installation team can take care of the full process.

Tray signs are low-maintenance and built to last, but a little care helps them stay looking their best:

We also offer a maintenance service, which includes cleaning, repairs and LED upgrades to improve energy efficiency.

Hanging Tray Sign FAQs

What is a hanging tray sign?

A hanging tray sign is a folded aluminium or ACM (composite) panel designed to project from a wall or suspension bracket. The folded edges create a slim, box-like profile with a neat, modern finish. They’re often used on shopfronts, cafés, hotels and offices where clear branding is important.

Prices vary depending on the size, material, finish, and whether illumination is included. As a guide, ACM tray signs are usually the most cost-effective. Aluminium trays with custom cut-outs or LED illumination sit at the premium end. We provide free, no-obligation quotes tailored to your design.

Most are produced from aluminium or aluminium composite (ACM). Aluminium gives a more rigid, premium feel, while ACM is lightweight and well-suited to smaller panels. Both materials are weather-resistant and low-maintenance, making them ideal for outdoor use.

With proper coatings and fixings, tray signs typically last many years. Aluminium is especially durable, while ACM provides good performance in standard conditions. Protective finishes such as powder-coating, anti-graffiti film or UV lamination can extend lifespan even further.

No. Despite being tough and weather-resistant, aluminium and ACM trays are relatively lightweight. This makes them easier and safer to install while still being strong enough for outdoor conditions.
