Honours Boards
Offering Traditional Handcrafted Honours Boards in addition to Acrylic Types
At BEL Signs in Horsham, West Sussex, we design and manufacture a wide range of bespoke honours boards for local sports clubs, schools, military and MOD bases, associations, universities, corporate offices, and government departments. Our honours boards are crafted to celebrate achievements, preserve tradition, and complement the character of your building or organisation.
Whether you need a traditional wooden honours board, a contemporary acrylic design, or a cost‑effective printed alternative, our factory offers complete in‑house production for Horsham and the surrounding area.
Traditional Wooden Honours Boards
Our wooden honours boards are crafted from high‑quality oak and hardwoods, available in a range of natural tones from light to dark. Boards can be stained to suit your interior and enhanced with borders or decorative detailing.
Please note: Wooden honours boards can be sent via a door-to-door direct courier, but we cannot offer overnight courier options due to damage concerns.
Wood‑Effect Honours Boards Printed onto ACM
For a lighter, more affordable option, we offer wood‑effect honours boards printed onto ACM (Aluminium Composite Material). Using large‑format print, we can replicate realistic wood grain or match the appearance of your existing boards, ideal if you’re unsure of the original materials. ACM boards are durable, lightweight, and perfect for larger projects.
Contemporary Acrylic Honours Boards
Our acrylic honours boards offer a modern, polished finish. Clear acrylic can be backed with coloured or frosted vinyl, while names and dates are applied to the front for a clean, glass‑like appearance. Installed with satin stand‑off fixings, acrylic boards sit away from the wall to create depth and light. With CNC routing and laser engraving in‑house, we can also produce custom shapes, engraved details, and unique designs.
Text, Names & Decorative Details
Once you’ve chosen your board style, we offer several options for adding names, dates, crests and decorative elements:
- CAD‑cut vinyl – Ideal for clear, readable text and easy updates. Best suited to standard typefaces for small lettering.
- Hand‑painted lettering – Our specialist signwriter can hand‑paint names, dates and decorative details. This service is available locally only and subject to postcode. More information: https://www.belsigns.co.uk/services/traditional-hand-sign-writing/
- Printed crests, badges & logos – Full‑colour decorative elements can be printed and die‑cut for intricate detailing. Vector artwork may also be CAD‑cut depending on complexity.
Updating Your Honours Boards
If your honours board uses CAD‑cut vinyl, updates can be applied by you or by our team if you are local to Horsham.
Please note: Hand‑painted updates are postcode dependent and may require assessment before booking. This service can be offered for postcodes within an hour of Horsham. Postcodes further afield may be considered; please let us know your details for a quotation.
