In-House Production

Your external signage is often the very first impression a customer has of your business. A well-designed, professionally produced sign communicates quality, builds trust, and draws people in – before they've even crossed the threshold.

At 3B Design and Print we handle every stage in-house: design, production and installation. Whether you need a flat ACM panel, a built-up sign tray or dimensional acrylic lettering, we have the machinery and expertise to deliver a result that makes your building stand out.

What really sets them apart is their helpfulness and expertise. Whenever I've needed advice on print-related matters, their knowledge and guidance have been invaluable.

External Sign Options

A full range of external signage solutions, all fully customisable to your requirements.

Flat ACM sign example
01

Flat ACM Signs

The industry standard for external fascia signage. Produced on 3mm aluminium composite material (ACM), these flat signs are weatherproof and will last upwards of 7 years. Lightweight, rigid and available in any size.

Sign tray example
02

Sign Trays

The upgraded flat sign – custom-built from ACM with typically 50mm returns, giving the sign depth and making it protrude from the building for a premium, three-dimensional appearance.

Acrylic sign example
03

Acrylic Signs

Printed to the reverse of clear acrylic, these signs have a sleek, glass-like finish that looks incredibly professional. Typically installed with chrome stand-off fixings in the corners for extra visual impact.

Stand-Off Lettering

Add real depth and drama to your fascia by incorporating 10mm acrylic letters that stand proud of the sign face. Our laser-cutting facility allows us to produce any font or logo shape to an exact standard.

Acrylic lettering example
05

Acrylic Lettering

Cut from solid acrylic up to 20mm thick and adhered directly to the building or sign face. Available in a wide range of standard colours with the option of custom printing to match exact brand colours.

Deep lettering example
06

Deep Built-Up Lettering

For maximum impact, your logo or lettering can be built up from 20mm foamex to depths of 50mm or more. Paired with a printed vinyl backing, it creates a stunning three-dimensional effect on any wall surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best sign for my building?

It depends on your building type and budget. As a general guide: aluminium-clad buildings work well with flat ACM signs or sign trays, while masonry and timber-frame buildings are compatible with all signage types including stand-off lettering and acrylic signs. Get in touch and we'll advise on the best option for your specific building.

How much does an external sign cost?

As a ballpark, a standard 200cm × 60cm flat ACM sign starts from around £150 + VAT. Sign trays and dimensional options cost more depending on complexity. We'll always give you a clear, itemised quote before any work begins.

Do you install the signs as well?

Yes. We offer a full installation service covering the whole of Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties. Our fitters are experienced and fully insured.

I don't have any artwork – can you design the sign?

Absolutely. Our in-house design team have been designing signs for over a decade. Simply provide your logo (or even just a rough idea) and we'll create a full sign design for your approval before production begins.

How long do your signs last?

All our external signs are produced using weatherproof materials – rigid ACM panels and UV-stable flexible vinyls. In normal outdoor conditions you can expect a lifespan of 5–7 years, often longer.

How long will it take to make and install my sign?

Production turnaround is 5–7 working days from artwork approval. Installation is then scheduled at a time that suits you. For urgent requirements, speak to us – we'll do our best to accommodate.
