Frontlit Board Services
The Inks Used for Printing:
We use our wide-format solvent and UV ink printers to print the shop boards artwork on the above mentioned roll of flex. These inks are rated for outdoor use and are impervious to rain and sunlight. The media, made of plastic, is also waterproof. Taken together, our solvent ink print is the ideal solution for use on a shop board which is exposed to the weather elements all day long.
The Base Metal Frame:
As the name suggests, the printed roll of flex is… flexible and very much like a loose piece of cloth. To create a shop board, this print now needs to be framed. We weld metal pipes of 0.5 – 0.75 inch thickness to create the base frame. This shop name board flex print is very tightly stretched on the frame. This gives the board a very taut, flat and finished look. All that remains is for the board to be fixed on the wall above you shop. And this is easily done by nails and a hammer.
Flex Printed Backlit Shop Boards:
Flex printed backlit boards are similar to frontlit boards in the sense that these boards too have a solvent inkjet print stretched on a metal frame. The difference is that the metal frame has tubelights embedded within it. The tubes give a back glow to the print and make the whole board look very beautiful.

Acrylic, ACP Boards with LEDs:
Acrylic and ACP (Aluminium Composite Panel) are very high-end materials which can be cut and rendered in three dimensions. The shop board has a depth, and the logos / letters are individually lit by miniature LED modules. Name boards for shops become extremely premium when crafted from these materials.
