Spring Banner Bracket
Everything you need to get the job done right the first time When it comes to getting signs up safely, securely, and professionally, it’s not just about having the right clip or bracket; it’s about having the right solution for the job. That’s why Sign Trade Supplies stocks a full range of specialist components designed to handle everything from tricky post sizes to polished shopfront installs.
Need a sleek wall display? Our acrylic and metal wall mounts (available in stainless steel and aluminium) give signs a floating look that clients love. Want to make sure banners don’t let you down in the wind? Our banner eyelet machines reinforce every hole for long-term durability. And for a seamless finish, our sign making screws and rivets come in self-coloured options that match your panels, no more silver dots where you don’t want them.
And let’s not forget adhesives. Whether you’re after glue, double-sided tape, or structural bonding tape that holds like a vice, we’ve got options, including our own Stykra range, formulated just for sign makers who need that extra-strength, permanent bond they can trust.
Stykra 230 – Acrylic & Sheet Bonding Tape
Take our anti-rotational signpost clips, for instance. Alongside the standard 50mm and 76mm sizes, we’ve got mini railing clips and jumbo options for post diameters up to 219mm, so whether you’re working on a city centre bollard or a heavy-duty roadside post, you’ve got the right fit. For non-standard post sizes, channel clamps and screw banding step in where traditional clips fall short, giving you a solid grip without guesswork. Then there are the finishing touches that make all the difference: post caps and base plates to keep your installs protected and stable, letter locators like Snapfix and Simplefix for a quick, clean mount, and swing sign brackets and shackles that turn a simple panel into a real eye-catcher. If it needs fixing, hanging, mounting, or bonding, chances are, we’ve got the part and the know-how to back it up.

Not just a supplier, a partner One of the biggest frustrations we hear from customers is about trial and error – ordering fixings that seem right online, only to find they don’t fit the spec, aren’t strong enough, or are fiddly to install. That’s where we step in. Our team doesn’t just sell components; we know how they work in the field. We’re always happy to advise on load requirements, material compatibility, and installation best practices. If you’re unsure which fixing to use, or you’re tackling a tricky install and want a second opinion, give us a call. You won’t get a chatbot; you’ll speak to someone who understands the job and can guide you to the right solution.
We’re also developing a library of practical support materials, including
videos, downloadable guides, and case studies. These resources are built to help you get it right the first time and save time and money in the process.
Behind the scenes: how we keep standards high
We take pride in offering quality fixings at a fair price, but we’re not interested in a race to the bottom. Instead, we focus on consistency, reliability, and real-world performance. Every product we stock is chosen for its durability, ease of use, and value for money. Many of our fixings come directly from manufacturers we’ve worked with for years, so we know they meet the needs of professional sign makers. And it’s not just talk, our customers back us up. With service ratings consistently near 99%, what started as a local customer base has now grown to reach clients across the country. That kind of trust isn’t built overnight. It comes from delivering solid, dependable products, time after time.
Fixings first, not last At Sign Trade Supplies, we’re putting fixings where they belong, at the forefront of every project. That’s why we’re building a knowledge base to support smarter choices and working with trade bodies like the BSGA to share best practices. Because when fixings fail, they’re no longer behind the scenes. Plan them in early, install with confidence, and know we’re here with the advice and products to help you get it right, first time, every time.
