Post and panel signs are a classic signage style comprised of two primary elements:

Panels: These flat surfaces serve as the “canvas” upon which the message/s or graphics are displayed. They can be constructed from a variety of materials, each offering distinct advantages in terms of durability, weight, and aesthetics depending on the installation site.
Posts: These sturdy supports securely hold the panel aloft, ensuring its stability and proper positioning. Similar to the panels, posts come in various materials, allowing for a cohesive design aesthetic in various colours or heights.

The beauty of post and panel signs lies in their versatility. They can be customised to a remarkable degree, accommodating a wide range of sizes, shapes, and design elements. This allows for the creation of signs that seamlessly integrate with your existing branding, fostering a sense of recognition and professionalism.

Post and panel signs offer a practical advantage as their freestanding nature makes them ideal for placement near roadways or walkways, maximising visibility to potential customers or visitors. This strategic positioning ensures your message can clearly be seen for promotional or safety purposes.

Directional post and panel signs

Directional post and panel signs are normally very simple designs that point or direct either a motorist or pedestrian towards another point. The most common use is for driveways or car parks to direct the flow of traffic the right way. They can also be used in train stations, near roadways or shopping centres.

Bus stop post and panel signs

A post and panel sign can be used to designate a bus stop, taxi rank or even car share pick up location. It makes it easy for pedestrians and drivers to see the exact location to go to.

Logo or brand post and panel signs

If you have an office, warehouse or bulky goods retail store then you will typically have an outdoor area where a branded post and panel sign can be errected to display your logo. This can help visitors find your location and improve local branding efforts.

Frequently asked questions about Post and panel signs

What are Post and panel signs?

A post and panel sign is a powerful tool for grabbing attention, sharing important information or promoting your brand. Here are the reasons why they are important to use;

High Visibility:

Freestanding Design: Unlike wall-mounted signs, post and panel signs stand tall, often exceeding eye level, making them impossible to miss for pedestrians and passing vehicles.
Large Display Area: Their size allows for prominent display of your brand logo, key messaging, or promotional offers, ensuring maximum impact.
Strategic Placement: They can be strategically placed near high-traffic areas, like roads, sidewalks, or entrances, guaranteeing your message reaches a broad audience.

Brand Awareness and Recognition:

Customisable Design: The ability to customise size, shape, colours, fonts, and graphics allows you to create a sign that perfectly aligns with your brand identity. This consistent visual representation strengthens brand recognition with each passing customer.
Long-Term Exposure: Made from durable materials, post and panel signs withstand harsh weather conditions, providing continuous brand exposure for years to come.
Repeated Impressions: The consistent presence of your brand logo and messaging on the sign creates a lasting impression on potential customers, keeping your business top-of-mind.

Versatility and Communication:

Multipurpose Functionality: They can be used for various goals – promoting sales, highlighting new products, announcing events, or simply providing directional information.
Directional Signage: Dual panels allow for displaying information on both sides, guiding potential customers to your location or directing them towards specific departments within your business.
Flexibility for Updates: Some panel materials allow for easy message changes, enabling you to adapt your signage for seasonal promotions or new offerings.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Durable Investment: While requiring an initial investment, the longevity of post and panel signs offers excellent value for money.
Low Maintenance: The weather-resistant materials require minimal upkeep, minimising ongoing costs.

What materials are best for post and panel signs?

The best materials for post and panel signs depend on the specific environment in which they will be used. Here’s a breakdown of some common materials and their characteristics:

Indoor:

Acrylic: Affordable, lightweight, and shatter-resistant. Good for indoor use in low-traffic areas.
Aluminium: Durable, lightweight, and resistant to rust. Good for indoor use in high-traffic areas and can be painted for customisation.
Foam board: Lightweight and inexpensive. Good for temporary or promotional signage.
Polycarbonate: Extremely durable and impact-resistant. Ideal for high-traffic areas or locations prone to vandalism.
Wood: Adds a natural and aesthetic touch. Suitable for low-traffic areas and requires careful maintenance to avoid warping or moisture damage.

Outdoor:

Aluminium: Durable, lightweight, and resistant to rust and weather. Good for most outdoor applications.
Stainless Steel: Highly durable and resistant to corrosion and weathering. Ideal for high-traffic areas and harsh outdoor environments.
Galvanised Steel: Affordable and rust-resistant. Suitable for general outdoor use but may not be as durable as other options.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC): Weatherproof and resistant to chemicals. Good for outdoor use but may fade over time.
Polyethylene: Extremely durable and weather-resistant. Ideal for long-term outdoor signage.

Additional factors to consider:

Light exposure: For areas with direct sunlight, choose materials resistant to fading, such as anodized aluminum or UV-coated materials.
Temperature fluctuations: In extreme temperatures, use materials that won’t crack or warp, such as aluminum or stainless steel.
Cleaning and maintenance: Choose materials that are easy to clean and require minimal maintenance.
Brand and aesthetics: Consider materials that complement your brand identity and create the desired visual impact.
