Tray signs are fascia signs folded from aluminium sheet so the face turns back at the edges into returns, typically 50–75 mm deep, then powder coated and hung on concealed fixings.
Practical reasons to consider tray signs in Market Harborough
- An estate agent in Market Harborough may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Where several Market Harborough shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Shoppers walking along a Market Harborough pavement see a sign side-on first, and tray returns give it a solid edge from exactly that angle.

Do you need permission for a sign in Market Harborough?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
