A well-known North American retailer has placed a large order with Carmanah Signs for specialized LED light boxes.  The retailer is an important, repeat customer for Carmanah’s EvenLit™ product line, however this particular order is somewhat unique:  it will be a component in a larger display that is an in-store promotion of a global electronics brand.

“The order requires an extra step for our manufacturing team,” says Ed Montemayor, Vice President of Supply Chain. “The retailer was required to meet exact standards of the brand they were working with which entailed a color match for the light panel frames.  I’m happy to say we are able to once again meet our customer’s needs.”

The EvenLit™ light panel line’s product design and supply chain process allow for almost any possible frame color. In addition, frames can have the multi-color logo of the retailer or the brand permanently printed on the frame. This is an especially attractive feature for brands that want to supply changeable-image sign product such as lightpanels to their retail channel, but are wary of the lightpanels being used in-store for other purposes after the initial promotion ends.

Earlier this year Carmanah Signs Inc. received an order to manufacture and deliver 101 Lottery Retailer Identification Signs for Oregon Lottery. This is the third such order received by Carmanah under the multi-year contract with Oregon Lottery.

The EvenLit™ Premier Light Panels feature Carmanah’s best in class LEDs which provide illumination. The snap frame construction provides the option of easily changing graphics should the need arise. The custom white powder coated housing complements the Oregon Lottery logo.

EvenLit™ Light Panels by Carmanah have been chosen by lotteries, major national brands, banks, telecommunication companies and retailers for their contemporary design, effectiveness at retail, energy efficiency and longevity.

Grey Eagle Casino, one of Calgary’s newest entertainment destinations, has recently purchased a number of custom EvenLit Premiere Light Panels from Carmanah Signs. Grey Eagle first opened in 2007, and since then the casino has installed many of Carmanah’s custom LED illuminated casino table signs such as craps and roulette table limit signs as well as Carmanah’s Classic table limit.

The custom EvenLit Premiere light boxes have a graphic size of 5 x 3 feet and will be mounted various locations throughout the casino. These ultra slim light panels are an ideal choice for a wide range of indoor applications including casino promotions.

“Including the EvenLit Premiere light panel as part of our casino product offerings, has introduced new opportunities to existing and potential gaming customers. We had a lot of interest while exhibiting at G2E and look forward to what the year will bring.” says Robin Harnett, Business Development Manager of Carmanah Signs.

In addition to the Premiere model, Carmanah Signs also offers the EvenLit Profile Light Panel. At only 10mm (less than 0.4”) in depth, the Profile panel is a lightbox that is sleek, bright and simple to use.

Carmanah Autumn “Trade Show Season” a Success

Wednesday, November 16th, 2011

Carmanah Signs has finished off a successful autumn trade show season, having had an exhibit booth at three major shows in the last few weeks: the Global Gaming Exhibition (G2E), the annual National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) show and the annual North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL) show. A variety of Carmanah’s in-house designed LED and LCD sign products were on display at these three exhibitions.

Carmanah Signs booth G2E in Las Vegas was fortunate enough to be featured in the local Las Vegas Sun newspaper, with a photograph showing the installation of our EvenLit super-slim LED-lit Light Boxes into a large LED Light Panel wall assembly. We also showed off two new Table Limit signs: the Vegas LCD Table Limit sign and the Petite LED Table Limit sign. The booth also displayed a sample of LED-lit double-sided Table Games signs as well. Overall, G2E 2011 appeared to be the best attended since 2008, with a very high number of booth visits and interested casino Table Games managers.

The NACS show in Chicago was an opportunity to show off Carmanah’s digital signage offerings. On display for both the C-store chain managers as well as brand managers were the new counter top wirelessly-updated lottery jackpot sign, the window wirelessly-updated lottery jackpot sign and the brand new LCD advertising sign. In addition, the EvenLit LED-lit Light Panel product line was on display.

Last but not least, Carmanah’s booth at the NASPL show in Indianapolis highlighted the variety and quality of the digital lottery jackpot signage that Carmanah Signs has developed and sold over the last 5 years. The lottery sign product line now includes the EvenLit LED light panel line with wirelessly-updated jackpots for both large and small lotto signage, as well as a LCD retail signage that can not only display jackpots but advertising for both the lottery and the retailer.

Carmanah thanks all our partners and customers that dropped by our exhibition booths to say hello.
