Sign Trade Supplies is a trade-only supplier of aluminium profile systems, fixings and sign-making materials to the UK sign and graphics industry. It has been a trusted partner to sign and display companies for over thirty-five years, and it runs on a simple promise of fast, flexible and reliable supply. The business works from a warehouse in Sittingbourne, Kent, and delivers nationwide, with orders placed by 3pm going out for next day.
Aluminium is the heart of it. It stocks aluminium and steel sign posts in powder-coated finishes up to six metres, along with sign channel and its DECRO wood-effect profiles, and backs them with one of the UK’s largest ranges of sign fixings, from anti-rotational post clips and channel clamps to screw banding and brackets. Its KOPA modular post and panel system gives sign makers a plug-and-play kit for wayfinding and finger posts. Beyond the metalwork sit substrates such as aluminium composite, PVC foam board, acrylic and polycarbonate, plus sign vinyl, digital print media, tapes, cleaners and the hand tools that go with them.
What sets the company apart is what it does to the aluminium before it ships. An in-house conversion service handles cutting, mitring and drilling, and a bespoke extrusion service works with customers through design and development, which takes real time out of post and panel production. Online calculators price custom signs instantly, a 22,000 sq ft warehouse in Kent holds up to 500 tons of stock, and a free Trade+ account unlocks trade pricing and trade-only lines. A busy knowledge base and video library round out the support, and the firm is a BSGA commercial partner.
For any sign maker who needs the right posts, channel and fixings on site when the job demands them, Sign Trade Supplies is built to be exactly that, fast, flexible and reliable.
