Engineering Clarity for Reach Active

Our need us to supply high-detail signage that would perform reliably across a range of installation environments from indoor plant rooms to partially exposed outdoor enclosures. The signage needed to:

• Clearly display technical data and equipment identification.
  
  
• Withstand environmental conditions including light moisture, dust, and temperature shifts.
  
  
• Look sharp and professional to reflect the quality of Reach Active’s own work.

From the start, there were a few key technical requirements that needed to be met:

• Engraved with precision, capturing small fonts, symbols and safety details.
  
  
• Materials that could withstand conditions inside electrical enclosures, control cabinets and infrastructure.
  
  
• Easy to read, even in varying light conditions, with strong contrast and fade resistance.
  
  
• Consistent across the board, so that every sign matched across multiple sites and repeat orders.

Pat Ginty and the team at Signs Express Mullingar recommended a laser-engraved solution using tough, multi-layered plastic laminates. This approach gave us the flexibility to produce intricate, accurate signage at scale without compromising on quality.

• Materials That Last: We used brushed silver/black and red/white acrylic laminates for high visibility and durability in all site conditions.
  
  
• Detailed Finishing: Our in-house laser system produced clean, high-resolution engravings ideal for technical fonts, alphanumeric coding and custom icons.
  
  
• Fast Turnaround: With production handled locally, we were able to meet tight deadlines and deliver large volumes exactly when Reach Active needed them.

Initial Consultation:
The Mullingar team collaborated with Reach Active’s engineers and site managers to understand the variety of signage needs across different project scopes from cable ID plates to hazard notices and operational plaques.

Sample Production:
We produced sample signs early on to demonstrate quality, finish and legibility. These were tested and approved for a range of indoor and semi-external environments.

Workflow Integration:
Once approved, our team set up a smooth production workflow. Signage was delivered on a weekly schedule to align with project phases, ensuring every site had the signs it needed, right when they needed them.

The partnership delivered clear, practical benefits. With a reliable turnaround and consistent quality, Reach Active’s teams could install signage as part of their regular workflow. By managing production locally, we reduced lead times and costs, making it easier to meet deadlines and handle repeat orders. What began as a single project has grown into a strong working relationship, with regular signage needs now met quickly and efficiently
