How Much Does a Shop Sign Cost in the UK?

These are starting prices from our live catalogue, including VAT at 20%. Each is for the smallest size or simplest version, and the calculator on the product page shows your exact price as you change the size and options.

• Flat Foamex sign: from £10.50
• Flat aluminium sign: from £12.00
• Clear acrylic stand-off panel: from £24.00
• Brushed aluminium stand-off panel: from £26.38

• Signtrays, projecting lightboxes and neon signs: quoted per job

Size is the biggest single factor in the price of a flat sign. These are today's starting prices for a single-sided flat sign at each size, including VAT, with the most affordable board and finish:

• A2 (420 × 594mm): from £24.00 in Foamex, £37.00 in aluminium composite
• A1 (594 × 841mm): from £38.50 in Foamex, £44.00 in aluminium composite
• 1200 × 600mm: from £48.50 in Foamex, £60.00 in aluminium composite
• 1500 × 500mm: from £50.50 in Foamex, £62.00 in aluminium composite
• Full sheet (1220 × 2440mm): from £157.00 in Foamex, £184.00 in aluminium composite

These prices come straight from the calculator on each product page, so they update whenever our prices do. Our sizes and prices page has more sizes with full price tables. The price per square metre falls as the sign gets bigger, so one large panel usually costs less than several small ones covering the same area.

• Size: larger panels use more material and print.
• Material: aluminium composite costs more than Foamex but is made to last outdoors. Our sign materials guide compares them.
• Construction: a flat panel is the simplest option. A signtray adds a folded tray, and raised 2.5D or fret-cut lettering adds cutting and assembly.
• Finish: double-sided print, premium printed vinyl, laminates (matt, gloss or anti-graffiti) and rounded corners all add to the price.
• Lighting: illuminated signs need lighting, power and usually advertisement consent, so they are quoted per job.
• Speed: priority and express production cost more than standard.
• Quantity: on many products the price per item drops as you order more.

Standard UK delivery is £9.95, or free on orders of £150 or more including VAT, and next day delivery is £14.95. Anything over 1.5m on a side is too big for our standard courier, so it goes by large-item delivery, which we price after you order, or you can collect it free from our workshop in Trafford Park, Manchester.

Installation is quoted for your site. Tick professional installation at checkout and nothing is charged for it there, then our team contacts you to discuss the site and confirm a price. Delivery is included when we install.

If you need artwork, our design service is priced on the product page before you add it to your basket. Every file is checked by a real person before printing, free of charge, and our guide to preparing artwork for print explains how to set your file up.

Some signs depend too much on the site to price instantly: signtrays, illuminated signs, neon, built-up letters and anything unusually large or shaped. For these, add the product to your basket for a quote, or send the details on our quote page with your measurements and photos. We usually reply with a price the same working day.

You can mix priced and quote items in one basket. You pay for the priced items at checkout as normal, and we email you about the rest.
