NovaTex: Product of the year finalist

Fresh on the heels of last year's outstanding contribution award, we are equally excited on finding out that our upgraded NovaTex products have now been nominated for 'Innovative Product of the year' at the 'Sign Industry' awards 2026.We like to think there’s a new era of signage in-store! And feel confident that NovaTex, a signage system for silicon edged fabric skins, is definitely the answer!

Practical Application

NovaTex was designed with the installer in mind. Traditional systems often required awkward internal supports and tricky fixing points, slowing down projects and inflating costs. NovaTex eliminates these frustrations.

  • Rapid assembly means it’s faster to build and install.
  • Full perimeter fixing allows it to be mounted anywhere around the edge, making even the most awkward retail spaces straightforward.
  • Flexible reinforcement can be added wherever needed, giving installers total confidence in demanding environments.

The result? A robust, user-friendly signage solution that saves time, reduces hassle, and delivers reliable performance in retail displays, showrooms, and beyond.

Technological Advancement

The depth itself (65mm and 100mm) isn’t the innovation — it’s the construction that changes the game.

  • No internal supports: a breakthrough that slashes manufacturing costs and sets NovaTex apart from both earlier models and competitor products.
  • 3D-printed prototypes: our investment in 3D printing technology dramatically accelerated development, allowing for faster testing and approvals without waiting for aluminium samples.
  • Edge-lighting ready (100mm): ensuring installations are future-proof for evolving display requirements.

Every detail was refined from customer feedback, making NovaTex not just an evolution, but a re-engineered solution built for today’s challenges.

Market Impact

NovaTex has been embraced as a genuine breakthrough. Even before the first extrusion was available, firm orders were secured from leading industry players — a rare level of confidence for a new system.

  • Early samples received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
  • Existing users of the standard NovaTex system immediately recognised the performance, efficiency, and cost benefits.
  • Rather than being seen as a minor upgrade, NovaTex has been hailed as a game changer, setting new benchmarks in cost efficiency, ease of installation, and system flexibility.

It’s already influencing how signmakers think about illuminated fabric systems — and shaping expectations for the next generation of retail signage.

Industry Feedback

”In the field of hospitality and exhibitions, presentation is everything, and NovaTex has given us the flexibility our clients have been looking for. The full perimeter fixing makes it easy to install even in tricky spaces, and the illuminated graphics create a premium finish that is immediately noticeable.”
