We are very pleased to announce that Signbox has won ‘Illuminated Sign of the Year Award’ at this year’s BSGA Awards, which took place on Tuesday 13th October at the state of the art East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.
It’s hard to believe, that this year Signbox is turning 30!
And to celebrate we want to do something very special – something that both reflects what we do here and also creates a lasting moment in time. And, we want you, our customers, to be involved – because after all, where would we be without you?
In June 2015, Signbox completed a wayfinding signage project at Wellington Mills housing co-operative in London SE1. A key part of the project was reflecting the history of the buildings and in maintaining the original branding.
The Signbox team have once again teamed up with the Red Devils to raise money for an extremely worthy cause the Children with Special Needs Foundation.
Signbox has introduced a new range of pictogram wayfinding signs using Perspex® Naturals – a new palette of acrylics that simulates the texture of stone. Available in eight colours that will suit both contemporary and traditional interiors, the Matt range is designed to suit all applications.
Signbox received a double recognition at the inaugural BSGA British Sign Awards in October, picking up the ‘The Innovation Award 2014’ and receiving a nomination for ‘Wide Format Project of The Year 2014’. These accolades demonstrate the breadth and diversity of the signage specialist’s products and services.
The iPhone 6 launch event in Cupertino, California on 9th September 2014 brought with it all manner of revelations, from a huge new smartphone to the unveiling of the long awaited Apple Watch.
However the innovation that was of most interest to the marketing and retail communities was Apple’s announcement of its new Apple Pay card processing system, which meant the tech giant had finally incorporated near-field-communication (NFC) technology.
At this year’s 100% Design (17-20 September 2014, Earls Court, London), architectural signs specialist Signbox – stand O260 – will be showcasing a diverse range of workplace signage and graphic solutions that enable interior designers, architects and brand specialists to create inspirational working environments that are both functionary and visually appealing.
Signbox will be showcasing various innovative digital signage solutions at Marketing Week Live, including the DTAG100i connected iBeacon.
The DTAG100i device is the latest in a line of add-on products from Signbox partner Dot Origin, designed to enhance digital signage platforms through the use of short-range wireless technologies including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Near Field Communications (NFC).
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that makes it possible for NFC-enabled smartphones, tablets and other devices to establish radio communication with unpowered NFC chips. It is embedded in anything from credit card terminals to posters – simply by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity.
The most commonly used NFC applications to date have been contactless credit cards, ticketing systems such as the Oyster card in London, and access cards for office buildings, libraries and universities. However, as adoption of the technology grows, endless marketing applications are being made possible by NFC too.
Signbox is UK distributor for AskCody including Wayfinder, a smartphone app that will navigate you to your destination within buildings and on campuses.
The frameless design gives the product a stylish, contemporary appearance and the front panel can be opened in either direction for quick and easy changing of the content, so it’s perfect for frequently updated information; and with prices starting at just £8 PixQuick is exceptional value too.
The StepJockey website and app has been cleverly devised so that any set of stairs can be mapped and rated for calorie burn in seconds.
Once stairs are rated free posters that display calorie burn information, along with health messages, can be printed off from the website. Alternatively, companies can order more sophisticated ‘smart signs’. The intelligent design of the signage has been created in conjunction with Signbox, the award-winning sign manufacturer.
In 2003, ISO 7010 was introduced, a new international standard for safety signs using pictograms that could be easily understood by everyone, regardless of their language, culture or ability. In the years that followed, this standard was simply regarded as a ‘best practice recommendation’ and was largely ignored in the UK as most British companies adhered to our own BS5499 standard.
The Omega 2 is truly next generation large format print technology and marks a significant step forward from the Omega 1 Signbox purchased two years ago. The new model retains Omega 1’s capability to print at industry-leading 1728 dpi fine art quality but with a wider colour gamut such as grey, light magenta and light cyan. The Omega 2 can print on virtually any material with the same superb print quality and offers a 65% power saving over conventional UV bulb technology. Undoubtedly the key benefit of the new Omega is its ink drying method which uses UV-LED technology to make it possible to print on heat sensitive materials and colours.
