Shopfront Signs & Illuminated Sign Trays

Give your premises a clear business identity with custom shopfront signs and sign trays designed and made by Enigma Signs in Southport. A folded aluminium composite (ACM) sign tray forms a fascia with returned edges, creating a defined face for your name, logo and graphics.

Choose a non-illuminated tray with printed or cut vinyl graphics, add raised lettering, or discuss an illuminated sign tray for a design that remains visible after dark. Each shop fascia sign is quoted to its dimensions, finish and fitting requirements.

Non-illuminated ACM sign trays

A non-illuminated tray can carry your business name, logo and contact details as vinyl graphics. Applied flat cut sign letters add a raised effect to the face. Compare acrylic letters for coloured lettering and ACM letters for a slim profile and a choice of face finishes.

Illuminated and fret-cut sign trays

Fret-cut signage uses openings cut into the tray face and backed with acrylic. LED illumination can light the lettering or design through those openings. Built-up illuminated letters offer another approach, with a deeper letter shape mounted to the fascia. We will discuss the effect you want, the overall dimensions and the available power supply before agreeing the specification.

For individual illuminated lettering, compare built-up letters, face lighting and halo illumination. Standard flat cut letters ordered through the calculator do not include lighting.

Shop fascia design and installation

Your sign needs to work with the frontage and be readable from the intended viewing distance. Send a straight-on photograph of the building, the available width and height, your logo and the wording to display. Existing fascias, mounting surfaces, access and fixing points influence the design and installation.

Tell us whether you need manufacture only or fitting in the Southport area. Coordinate your fascia with shop window graphics for a consistent appearance, and browse completed Enigma signage projects for reference.

Questions about shopfront signs

Can I add raised letters to a sign tray?

Yes. Applied flat cut letters and built-up lettering are options to discuss with the team. The material, letter size and fixing method need to suit the tray and design.

What should I send for a shop sign quote?

Send your artwork, fascia width and height, photographs, preferred finish and whether you want illumination or installation. A bespoke shopfront sign needs its own quote; the flat cut lettering calculator prices standard individual letters.
