About the project

Hednesford Town Council plays a vital role in serving the local community, providing key information, hosting events, and supporting local initiatives. As part of their commitment to keeping residents informed and engaged, the council required high-quality outdoor display signs that would enhance visibility, improve communication, and create a professional and welcoming environment.

The Print Box was chosen to design, produce, and install custom display signage that aligned with the council’s branding while ensuring durability and long-term effectiveness.

This case study details how we carried out the project, the benefits it provided to the council, and why investing in professionally designed signage is essential for public organisations looking to improve accessibility and engagement.

Our Clients Challenges

Understanding the Client’s Goals

Hednesford Town Council needed outdoor display signage that would:

Increase visibility – Ensuring residents and visitors could easily locate important information.

Improve communication – Displaying notices, events, and council updates clearly.

Enhance professionalism – Creating a smart and cohesive look across council-managed spaces.

Withstand the elements – Durable enough to handle the unpredictable British weather.

We worked closely with council representatives to understand their specific requirements and discuss design ideas, branding elements, and the most suitable sign placements around key locations in the town.

Our Approach

Designing the Perfect Display Signage

Our design team focused on creating signage that would be functional, visually appealing, and aligned with the council’s branding. We incorporated clear typography, council colours, and easy-to-read layouts to ensure all information could be accessed quickly by the public.

Key design considerations included:

Brand Consistency – Using Hednesford Town Council’s official colour palette and logo to ensure recognisability.

Legibility – Selecting fonts and layouts that make information easy to read from a distance.

Weatherproofing – Ensuring materials and printing techniques would maintain their quality over time.


Material Selection for Long-Term Durability

Outdoor display signage must be able to withstand rain, wind, and UV exposure while remaining vibrant and readable. We selected high-quality, weather-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability, including:

Aluminium Composite Panels – Strong, rust-proof, and lightweight for easy installation.

Anti-Glare Acrylic Covers – Protects printed content from fading while ensuring visibility in direct sunlight.

UV-Resistant Inks – Prevents colours from fading over time.

Lockable Notice Boards – Keeps important public information secure and protected from vandalism.

These materials provide a long-lasting solution that requires minimal maintenance, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Production and Installation

Once the final designs were approved, we moved into production, ensuring each sign was printed and assembled with precision and high-quality finishes. Our installation team then carried out the fitting process efficiently, minimising disruption while ensuring optimal sign positioning.

Our installation process involved:

Site Assessment – Identifying the best locations for maximum visibility.

Secure Mounting – Ensuring all signage was installed safely and level.

Final Quality Checks – Verifying readability, positioning, and durability.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, ensuring that Hednesford Town Council’s outdoor display signs were installed on time and to the highest standards.
