Welcome to the Shelley Signs website. We are full colour printers who specialise in designing and producing panels for open spaces and nature reserves. Our printing and finishing process offers exceptional durability and colour fastness - if vandalism is a concern we have the solution.
If you need to meet DDA requirements for outdoor sites our sandblasted timber signs offer an interesting and distinctive answer.
Please use the Showcase section of the site to gain a flavour of our wide range of work and projects.
Sandblasted timber & wooden signs
In addition to full colour printing, Shelley Signs specialise in designing and manufacturing a wide range of timber signs and frames. A particular skill is the ability to sandblast graphics into the timber to produce tactile signs that can be used outdoors.
Sandblasting. Tactile signs are produced using UK grown timber, frequently cedar sourced from a Herefordshire estate. The sandblasting process results in raised tactile graphics - these can range from big bold images through to text and maps. They produce an attractive and distinctive image that can also address DDA requirements. Due to the specific nature of the process it is often better for artwork to be prepared by ourselves from your roughs - if creating your own designs please ensure that you liaise with our Graphics Department from an early stage.
Routing. Routed timber signs are ideal for entrances and plaques. We work in both Oak, Cedar and Douglas Fir with the text usually painted to agreed colours. Routed panels come in many sizes and shapes - please refer to the Timber / Routed section in the Showcase part of this website for examples.
Engraving. Our range of CNC routers allow us to engrave onto a wide variety of materials. Both brass and GRP are frequently used - both offer an attractive finish and allow 'brass rubbings' to be taken.
