The KOPA Post & Panel System by Sign Trade Supplies is a kit-form signage system made for professional sign makers. It replaces slow, costly folded tray signs with a flexible system that speeds up fabrication, simplifies installation and gives a premium finish every time.
Why sign makers choose KOPA
KOPA replaces the traditional folded tray with a kit of aluminium components that assemble on site. Use your own 3mm ACM or aluminium panels, or order panels with the kit. Either way you get a seamless, professional finish without the lead times, freight risk or fabrication cost of a tray sign.
Key features
- Supplied in kit form: quick to order, fast to dispatch and far less likely to be damaged in transit than pre-fabricated trays.
- Accepts flat 3mm panels: apply graphics by direct print or vinyl to a flat panel, with no folded faces to wrap.
- Wider material choice: not limited to folded-face materials, so more substrates and creative options.
- Single or double-sided: bond a second panel to the rear of the same frame for a double-sided sign without a second tray.
- Concealed fixings: high-performance bonding tape means no visible screws or rivets.
- Wood-effect framing: Natural Oak and Teak Decro finishes give the warmth of timber without rot, warping or maintenance.
- Made in Britain: T6063 aluminium, from a registered Made in Britain member.
Where KOPA works best
KOPA handles almost any "between post" sign, including:
- Wayfinding and directional signs: hospitals, universities, business parks, retail centres and public spaces.
- Estate agent and property boards: a smart, modern alternative to traditional V-boards.
- Site identification and entrance signs: schools, care homes, industrial estates and corporate headquarters.
- Retail and forecourt signs: car dealerships, garden centres, drive-throughs and out-of-town retail.
- Heritage and conservation areas: the Decro wood-effect finish gives a timber look without timber's drawbacks.
- Construction hoardings and project boards: quick to install, with panels easy to update between phases.
- Tourism, parks and outdoor information signs: weather-resistant finishes built for the long term.
