Making Signs

Using a graphics program the Design, or Artwork, is created on the computer. It is then relayed to the plotter for engraving using a spinning cutting tool, or to the laser to transfer it to the plate. Artwork can be supplied by the customer or created and designed by K-JAM to customer specifications. Engraving can be filled with any colour in-fill required or left with the machine cut finish.

 

Materials most commonly used for engraving include: Laminated Vinyl, Stainless Steel and Aluminium. Brass is available for limited applications only.

Some of the products K-JAM has produced include Architectual Signs, Braille Signs, Directional Signs, Cut-out Lettering, Interior & Exterior Signs, House/Building Signs, Name Badge, Plaques etc

 

Braille

Fully compliant with NCC 2011 Building Code of Australia (Specification D3.6), Australian Standard (AS1428.1-2009, Amdt No.1), and Disability (Access to Premises – Building) Standards 2010

From 1st May 2011 new building codes became effective (NNC BCA 2011) along with the new Disability (Access to Premises-Buildings) Standards 2010. Any new building open to the public, or existing buildings undergoing significant renovation, after this date, will be required to comply with these new standards. K-JAM has released its new 900 series Braille to comply with the new specifications, implemented by the new ‘Premises Standard’. The current 300 series Braille is still available for building works that do not fall under the new guidelines (ie building plans approved prior to 1/5/2011)


K-JAM can produce Braille signs to meet your individual needs.

In addition to our standard signage, Braille can be placed on any customised sign or push/pull plate. Braille is available on laminated vinyl, stainless steel, and aluminium.
