Illuminated Flex Face Signs for PAV Haulage

Big flex face signs get PAV moving at London Gateway

We recently installed illuminated flex face signs for PAV Haulage at DP World London Gateway Port, delivering large-format signage designed for maximum visibility across a busy logistics and industrial site.

Flex face signage is ideal for large-scale applications where visibility from a distance is essential, making it a popular choice for logistics, industrial and commercial environments.

W&Co supplied and installed two large illuminated flex face signs, each measuring 7 metres wide by 2 metres high, delivering maximum impact across both key elevations of the building.

The Requirement – High-Level Signage on a Large Warehouse

PAV Haulage required signage that would:

  • Clearly identify their building from a distance
  • Reflect their brand with strong contrast and illumination
  • Work effectively in both daylight and night-time conditions
  • Be suitable for a large-scale industrial warehouse environment

There was also the added complexity of working with landlord approvals (DP World) and providing detailed drawings and specifications for sign-off prior to installation.


The Solution – Two 7m x 2m Illuminated Flex Face Signs

We recommended illuminated signage in the form of internally lit flex face lightboxes – ideal for large-format applications where visibility and even illumination are critical.

Each sign was manufactured to:

  • Size: 7000mm (W) × 2000mm (H) × 196mm (D)
  • Frame: Aluminium, powder-coated black (RAL 9005)
  • Face: Digitally printed translucent PVC flex face
  • Lighting: 6500K Sloan LED modules
  • Finish: Black blockout background with illuminated white and orange logo

The flex face system provides a seamless appearance at this scale, with consistent illumination across the full graphic.


Installation at Height Using Specialist Access Equipment

Due to the scale and mounting height of the signage:

  • Signs were supplied in sections for safe handling and installation
  • Installed at approximately 16.3m to underside
  • Mechanically fixed into existing steelwork behind the cladding
  • Installed using specialist access equipment

Our team coordinated installation logistics, access equipment, and site requirements to ensure a smooth and efficient install.


The Result – High-Impact Illuminated Branding

The finished result delivers exactly what PAV Haulage needed – high-impact, professional signage that stands out across the site, both day and night.

The illuminated elements contrast sharply against the black background, ensuring excellent visibility without glare or washout.
