An International Florida Airport has chosen Carmanah Signs as part their upgrade plans for the year. Nearly one hundred custom backlit LED wayfinding signs will be installed as one of many initiatives the airport is putting forward to make a lasting impression on visitors to the region.

Carmanah understands the importance of visual communication and has customized a unique backlit LED sign design to ensure visibility and legibility while maintaining a sleek and modern feel to complement the state-of-the-art terminal.  The design includes pantone specific matching to produce high contrast illuminated signage as well as double-sided LED backlit technology that allows for clear readability from each side.  These illuminated signs will help guide thousands of visitors through the airport each day; from airlines to gates, baggage claims, transfers, restaurants and washrooms, these custom backlit signs will guide the way.

Carmanah Signs is a leader in the design and manufacture of LED edge-lit signs and light panels for point of sale settings. Since 1993, we have helped retailers, global brands, casinos and state lotteries enhance brand identity and increase brand visibility by delivering attractive, energy-efficient LED signs.

Carmanah Signs recently launched our new Web Division, addresslighting.com and it has been excited to welcome back previous address sign customers as well as welcome all new customers to the addresslighting.com website.

Carmanah Signs Inc. has been in the address sign business for many years, starting when the address signs were lit with florescent, neon or incandescent tubes.  Carmanah Signs has been manufacturing premium long life LED-lit signs and LED light boxes since 1993 and has now introduced the latest address sign design using the new premium, long life LED lights for your house number signs.

An illuminated address number by addresslighting.com is a cost effective and attractive solution to ensure your home or business is easily found.  “Our LED-lit address signs are superior to unlit address plaques or unlit address numbers, since they can be seen at night by friends and by emergency vehicles”, notes Margaret Hodges, customer service lead for the home address sign business. Due to being LED-lit, the cost of electricity is approximately $1.00 per year which makes them an environmentally friendly choice.

The addresslighting.com has an additional benefit compared to other home address sign and home address plaque websites. The web site is a fun experience by allowing customers to design their own perfect address sign that’s right for them.  This is achieved by giving the client many options in regards to shape, color, number and address font, etc.

Driving around the residential areas of a city, you will find more and more homes with illuminated house number plaques.  Illuminated address signs uniquely identify your home, and ensure that your residence can be found more quickly by friends, delivery and emergency services.

For business locations, addresslighting.com is excellent online tool for business to create a bright visible sign that can be customized to match their brand imaging.  The business with a LED-lit address sign will help potential customers find their location.  Business or home owners, become the first in your block to stand out with your new personally-designed illuminated address

NACS 50 years

Monday, October 17th, 2011

The National Association of Convenience Stores and Gasoline Retailers Convention ranks as one of the 50 largest annual trade shows in the United States.  This year’s NACS’ conference proved no exception with over 22,000 retailers attending from a record 58 countries.

“Convenience store in-store sales grew over 4 percent in 2010, reaching a record $190.4 billion”, says Carmanah Sign’s Business Development Manager, Scott Christensen.  “Our LED point of purchase signs provide our clients with unique and brilliant ways to attract customers and increase sales.

This year at NACS we launched our LCD point-of-sale solutions and received glowing accolades from not only retailers but also the major food and beverage brands who also visited our booth.”

Carmanah’s coolest new LCD products allow Retailers and Brands to attract and engage customers and drive sales.  “Our LCD solutions provide a great way to communicate product features, promotions and benefits right at the point of sale” says Scott Christensen.  “60% of unplanned purchases are made at the point of purchase or shelf level.

Our pop signage solutions can be placed where you want them, at the cash register, integrated with your existing fixturing or mounted into custom millwork.”  Carmanah’s LCD solutions are zone-capable (up to 6 zones) to feature different product promotions and incentives throughout the day and week.  Carmanah’s LCDs also include an LED faceplate which can be uniquely branded blending the power of brilliant static images with engaging digital content.

“After soliciting extensive input from our retail and major brand clients, we’ve packed a ton of functionality into our LCD solutions.  We’ve designed a digital sign that meets all the form and function requirements for the retail environment, including compatibility with any future networked digital signage systems.”  JP, VP Product Development, Carmanah Signs.

LCD available early 2010.

Carmanah Signs has provided their clients with brilliant point of sale and in-store LED edge-lit signage and EvenLit™ LED Light Boxes since 1993.

G2E – What a Great Success!

Friday, October 14th, 2011

This year was one of the most successful shows for Carmanah Signs in the 13 years of exhibiting at G2E. As G2E moved to the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, it was not only a new beginning for the show but felt like a new beginning for Carmanah as well. Carmanah’s booth was eye-catching from the start, from the overall design of the booth to the array of innovative illuminated LED signs and LCD signs on display. Carmanah Signs even made the Las Vegas Sun paper, seen here setting up a wall mural of LED Illuminated Light Panels.

Carmanah also unveiled two new casino signs at the show this year, a sophisticated LCD table limit sign called the Vegas and a stylish LED table limit sign called the Petite, which both drew a lot of attention.

The new Vegas LCD table limit sign is a sophisticated LCD Table Limit sign with powerful promotional capabilities. We have listened to the Table Game Manager’s needs and really delivered an exceptional sign.

“After soliciting extensive input from our casino customers, we’ve packed a ton of functionality into the Vegas. We’ve designed a sign that meets all the form and function requirements for a modern casino, including compatibility with any future networked digital signage systems.” JP, VP product Development, Carmanah Signs

The new Petite table limit sign is, just as the name suggests, Carmanah’s most compact sign, designed to allow clear sight lines throughout the pit. The Petite has all the elegant LED beauty of its big brother, the Classic.

Both Table Limits signs will be available early 2012.

Check us out on Facebook for more photos of the show.
