Shop Signs
Your shop sign is the first thing potential customers see, and it shapes their expectation of what's inside. A well-designed, well-made shop sign communicates that you're established, professional, and worth stopping for. Somerset Printing produces shop signs and fascia boards for retail premises, salons, cafés, offices, and trade units across Somerset.
We work with a range of materials to suit different frontages and budgets. Printed foamex and dibond boards are a cost-effective and flexible solution — they can be produced quickly with full-colour print and finished with laminate or vinyl overlays. For a more substantial result, we also produce signs with cut vinyl lettering, digitally printed graphics, and applied vinyl elements on painted or powder-coated boards.
Every shop front is different, so we treat each sign as a bespoke project. We'll discuss your frontage, the fixing method, the size constraints, and your brand with you before producing artwork — and we'll supply a visual before anything goes to production.
Based in Highbridge. We cover Burnham-on-Sea, Bridgwater, and the wider Somerset area. Enquire via the contact form below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a shop sign?
In England, most external signs require Advertisement Consent from your local council, particularly if they're illuminated or above a certain size. We can advise, but checking with Somerset Council before installation is your responsibility.
Do you do illuminated shop signs?
We produce non-illuminated shop signs. For internally lit or LED-backlit signs, we can introduce you to a specialist fabricator who handles the electrical and fabrication elements.
Can you replace my existing sign with the same design?
Yes — if you have the original files, we can reproduce it exactly. If not, we can re-create the design from a photograph of the existing sign.
How do I get started?
Tell us the width and height of your fascia or intended sign position, your business name and any logo files, and any preference for materials. We'll come back with recommendations and a quote.
