The perfect tool for every sign job

Every sign-maker knows the pain of tool failure when they are out on a job, or using tools that ‘work just’ instead of ‘just work’.

It is this issue—which often causes hours of unnecessary work, wastage, and a poor-quality finish—that inspired Paul and Julia Hughes to set up Sign Making Tools in 2011.

The husband and wife team also own and run Western Signs and Printing. This means they test and use all the products offered in the Sign Making Tools range in their own business. 

Paul is also an expert trainer, and works with Antalis to help run workshops on sign-making skills at its academy.

One main theme runs through our product range, we want to make your work easier and save you time, even if it is just for an extra cup of tea at the end of the day

Sign Making Tools (exhibiting on stand J01 of SignLink Live) has all the old favourites that are staples of sign-making, as well as new and exciting tools that could transform the way you work.

“Sign Making Tools are open to suggestions and if you are stuck on a specific job, contact us and we may be able to help with the tools required,” explains Paul Hughes.
