Family run.
Since 1984.

From hand-cut vinyl on a workbench to a full in-house production facility — still the same family, still the same workshop in Kendal.

Our story

Started by hand. Built up over forty years.

Sun Signs opened in 1984 making signs the only way anyone knew how — by hand. Vinyl cut by eye, letters painted on walls, everything done slowly and carefully because there was no shortcut.

Over the decades we kept investing in the workshop. First a plotter. Then large-format print. Then the CNC router. Each piece of kit opened up something we couldn't do before, and the range of work grew with it.

Today we run CNC routing, laser cutting, wide-format printing, UV flatbed printing, a digital cutting machine, and wide-format laminating — all under one roof, all operated by people who've been here for years.

What hasn't changed: we're still family-owned, we still answer the phone, and every sign is still checked and hand-finished before it leaves us.
