Choose a ready-made design or add your own wording in the personalisation box at checkout. Hanging signs come in four sizes from 102×74mm to 270×190mm with a jute string loop; freestanding desk and counter signs come in A5 and A4 with a push-fit wooden stand; extra-large formats run to 590×390mm. Engraving is permanent and cannot peel, fade or rub off, which is why we engrave rather than print.

Frequently asked questions
What is an engraved wooden sign?
An engraved wooden sign has its lettering and artwork burnt into the surface of the wood by a laser, rather than printed onto it. The result is permanent: it cannot peel, fade or rub off. Every sign here is laser-engraved on oak veneer, bamboo or solid oak.
What is a personalised sign?
A personalised sign is engraved with your own wording — a name, a room, a business, a logo or a message — instead of a fixed off-the-shelf design. Most signs in this collection let you choose a ready-made wording or supply your own in the personalisation box.
Do you make wooden signs for the home?
Yes. Alongside business signage we make hanging signs for the home: family names, kitchen and bedroom signs, poems, Welsh gifts and occasion messages. Choose a plain or bordered hanging sign, add your wording and pick a size.
What can I have engraved?
Any text, and on most designs a logo. Enter the wording in the personalisation box and upload a logo where a logo upload button is shown. Logos can be colour or black and white — we will convert colour logos for engraving.
What are the signs made from?
Most are FSC-certified 4mm oak veneered MDF. Selected designs are FSC-certified Moso bamboo (certificate BV-COC-190523), and the freestanding Block range is solid oak. All are for indoor use.
What sizes are available?
Hanging signs come in four sizes: 102×74mm, 158×115mm, 225×164mm and 270×190mm. Freestanding and logo signs are A5 (210×148mm) and A4 (297×210mm). The extra large sign runs to A3 (420×297mm) and 590×390mm.
Can I order signs in bulk for a business?
Yes. Discounts apply automatically at checkout from 20 units, rising to 35% at 1,000. Different wording on each sign is fine: list every variant in the personalisation box.
Are the signs suitable for outdoor use?
No. Oak veneered MDF, 3mm bamboo and solid oak signs are designed for indoor use only.
Do you offer sustainable signage?
Our oak veneer and bamboo signs are made from FSC-certified materials, certified at source through our suppliers' Chain of Custody. We are not ourselves an FSC certificate holder, so the FSC logo does not appear on finished signs. Everything is made to order, which avoids the overproduction of mass-printed signage.
