Questions
What materials do you use for engraving?
We use traffolyte, stainless steel, aluminium, acrylic, and engravable plastics. Each material is selected based on durability requirements and environmental conditions.
Can you handle large-scale orders?
Yes, our expanded capacity following recent acquisitions allows us to manage large-volume projects efficiently while maintaining quality and deadlines.
Do you offer bespoke label designs?
We specialise in custom designs. Clients can supply technical drawings or specifications, and we'll create tailored labels with logos, diagrams, or specific colour schemes.
Are your signs suitable for outdoor use?
Traffolyte signs are best for indoor use. For outdoor applications, we recommend stainless steel, aluminium, or alternative UV-resistant laminates to ensure longevity.
What industries do you serve?
We support electrical, construction, oil, water utilities, government departments, and commercial sectors requiring durable, safety-compliant engraved components.
How quickly can you complete an order?
Our streamlined processes and in-house production enable fast turnaround times. Standard orders are typically completed within 3-5 working days, with urgent requests prioritised.
