KOPA Post & Panel System is an innovative, kit-based signage solution engineered exclusively for professional sign makers. Say goodbye to slow, costly folded tray signs and welcome a modern, flexible system that streamlines fabrication, simplifies installation, and delivers a premium finish every time.
Why sign makers choose KOPA
The KOPA Post & Panel System replaces the traditional folded-tray approach with a premade kit of aluminium components that bolt together in minutes. Use your own 3mm ACM or aluminium panels, or order panels supplied and cut to size by Sign Trade Supplies. Either way, you get a seamless, professional finish without the lead times, freight risk, or fabrication costs of a traditional tray sign.
Key Features
- Supplied in kit form — Quick to order, fast to dispatch, and far less vulnerable to transport damage than pre-fabricated trays. Logistics simplified, site installs made easy.
- Accepts flat 3mm panels — Apply graphics by direct print or vinyl overlay onto a flat panel. No more wrapping awkward folded faces — boost production speed and print quality.
- Extended material choice — Not restricted to folded face materials. The KOPA frame accepts a wide range of 3mm panels, opening up creative and substrate options.
- Single or double-sided — A unique profile allows a second panel to be bonded to the rear of the frame, creating a cost-effective double-sided sign without a second tray.
- Concealed fixings — High-performance bonding tape eliminates visible screws or rivets for a clean, modern aesthetic.
- Wood-effect framing — Available in light oak and teak Decro finishes as standard. Get the warmth of timber with none of the rot, warp, or maintenance — perfect for wayfinding and heritage-style schemes.
- UK & EU manufactured — T6063 high-grade aluminium, responsibly sourced and produced close to home.
