The flat-packed aluminium lectern kit features a removable bezel for easy graphic panel replacement across heritage, museum, and visitor sites.
Sign Trade Supplies has launched the KOPA Lectern System, a modular aluminium signage solution designed for heritage sites, museums, parks, and visitor attractions. Supplied as a flat-packed kit, the system allows sign makers to install permanent angled information displays while retaining ongoing printed panel replacement work.
Available in A3, A2, and A1 visible artwork dimensions, the system features a removable front bezel secured with Torx security fixings over an aluminium back tray and mounting brackets. The design enables printed display panels to be updated without unseating the ground posts or damaging the supporting foundation. The single-post A3 model provides a 420 x 297mm artwork area, while the twin-post A2 (594 x 420mm) and A1 (841 x 594mm) configurations offer larger presentation surfaces.
All components, including the frame, 76mm mounting posts, and brackets, are manufactured from aluminium. Black powder coating is supplied as standard, with custom RAL options and Decro wood-effect aluminium post finishes available for conservation areas and timber-style schemes.
Head of Marketing at Sign Trade Supplies, Garrick Dartnell, commented, “Lecterns have traditionally been a difficult product for the trade to quote on. The KOPA Lectern gives sign makers a specified system they can order in single units, while the print work stays with them. The structure is a one-time cost for the end client, and the panel becomes a consumable that is potential repeat business for the sign-maker.”
By replacing bespoke, one-off welded fabrications with a standardised kit-based system, the product lowers initial entry barriers for sign makers serving public and commercial wayfinding sectors. Kits are distributed nationwide with no minimum order requirements, leaving substrate selection and graphic printing to the sign maker.
Dartnell concluded, “A new printed display is an easier proposition to sell than replacing a complete signage unit. This solution provides all the benefits of KOPA, including quality, durability and versatility of style, while keeping the sign-maker connected to their customers for repeat business.”
