Replacement and refresh

Replace tired shadow boards from a photo.

Existing boards worn, peeling or out of date? Send us photos and sizes. We redraw the layout, update it to suit the tools you use now and make the replacement in-house.

Signs a board needs replacing

  • — Vinyl shadows peeling, faded or bubbling
  • — Boards scratched, stained or cracked
  • — Tool positions no longer match the tools in use
  • — Line or cell changes since the board was made
  • — Original supplier no longer trading
  • — Mixed board styles across one site

What you get

  • No site visit needed. We work from your photos and measurements.
  • Direct print, no vinyl to peel. Shadows printed onto aluminium composite (ACM) with a UV-cured coating.
  • Same footprint or a better fit. Match the existing size and fixings, or resize to suit the current tool set.
  • Updated retention. Keep your layout or upgrade to stainless hooks, spring clips or magnet holders.
  • Consistent across the site. Standardise colours, headings and logos as you replace each board.

How replacement works

  1. Step 01

    Photograph and measure

    Send a face-on photo of each existing board with its overall width and height. Tell us which tools to add, remove or swap.

  2. Step 02

    Quotation and official proof

    We quote from your photos. Once the quotation is approved and we have a purchase order or payment, we redraw the layout as an official 1:1 proof in the design portal for you to amend and approve.

  3. Step 03

    Manufacture and delivery

    Made in-house in Ipswich, normally in 5–7 working days from proof approval, with delivery normally 1 working day after despatch.
