flex face signs

Flex face signs are manufactured for sign makers and can be supplied as illuminated or non-illuminated systems. A flex face sign uses a tensioned flexible face within an extrusion-built sign system, creating a clean graphic face across the sign. Straight or shaped applications are possible where the chosen system permits. The appropriate system and supply format can be confirmed against the project specification.

135mm deep box

The Econoflex Slimline is a 135mm deep illuminated flex face system. Its compact depth makes it a useful option where the selected flex face system and project requirements call for a shallower illuminated format. Therefore, the final configuration should be matched to the sign size, installation and illumination specification.

➜ Lengths: 5100mm, 6100mm
➜ Supply: Built-up sections or kits
➜ Colour: Standard RAL powder coat
➜ Illumination: Designed for internal LED lighting

165mm deep box

The 165mm deep Econoflex flex face sign system gives bright, even LED lighting across large displays. In addition, it is a flexible single-sided profile that suits bold exterior branding. Consequently, it suits applications where a deeper illuminated flex face profile is required. Therefore, the final system should be selected against the sign size, location and illumination specification.

➜ Lengths: 5100mm, 6100mm
➜ Supply: Built-up sections or kits
➜ Colour: Standard RAL powder coat

Flex face signs: frequently asked questions

A flex face sign uses a tensioned, printed flexible graphic secured within an aluminium frame. This creates a smooth, seamless finish that works especially well for large-format retail, commercial and industrial signage.

Yes. Brownings manufactures flex face signs for sign makers and trade buyers.

Yes. Both options are available, with the system selected to suit the project specification.

Illuminated flex face signs use internal LED lighting to produce bright, even illumination across the graphic. Non-illuminated systems offer the same clean appearance without internal lighting and can alternatively be lit using a trough light.

Yes. Flex face systems are ideal for large signs because the flexible graphic is lightweight and tensioned evenly across the frame. They are commonly used on retail parks, warehouses, shopfronts and other commercial buildings where strong visibility is essential.

Econoflex can be used for shaped applications, including letters and logos, where the selected system and artwork geometry permit.

Depending on the selected profile and project specification, systems can be supplied as built-up sections or kits.

Send the overall dimensions, artwork, required finish and illumination requirements. Include whether you need a kit or built-up sections so Brownings can review the appropriate system.

Supply a PDF with one artwork per file or page. State the finished face dimensions in millimetres and clearly identify the artwork scale, including when supplied at full size. Confirm whether your stated dimensions include bleed. Outline all text or fully embed the fonts, and use vector artwork wherever possible for elements that need significant enlargement.

Allow 100mm bleed on every edge where possible, with a minimum of 35mm on every edge for finishing. If your artwork cannot extend into the required bleed area, contact us before submission to agree how it should be handled.
