27 SDEA Members exhibited at Retail Design Expo in March, several showing at a UK exhibition for the first time.
Here is a hint of what some of our Members unveiled at the Show.
arken POP International, stand R24 and U14
 arken POP have recently added a secure Hinged Door version to their ‘Move-it’ range of water-filled base forecourt signs.
Incorporating extruded aluminium frames on both sides, aluminium back panels and clear PETG front sheets, the posters are securely held in place behind a hinged door which is designed with a concealed lock mechanism and supplied with a special opening tool.
The water filled base has integrated castors for easy mobility and high tension springs help to deflect the wind, making this a perfect solution for exposed areas.
Made to order at arken’s Newmarket factory, these new forecourt signs are available in standard 60” x 40” and 40” x 30” sizes but customised sizes can be quoted on request.
Alongside forecourt and pavement signs, arken POP also produce a wide range of other graphic display products such as poster frames, lightboxes, freestanding signs and hanging signs.
