Custom Signage Solutions in Bristol
Brissco Sign & Graphics has been a trusted name in the signage industry since its founding in 1948 as the Bristol Typewriter Company. Our journey began with office equipment before transitioning to sign manufacturing through a partnership with 3M in 1952, which positioned us at the forefront of innovative sign-making techniques. We played a pivotal role in shaping UK road signage standards following the Worboys Committee's reforms in the 1960s. With over 75 years of combined operational history, our team specialises in producing durable, high-quality signs for utilities, local authorities, aerospace, emergency services, and construction sectors. Our expertise spans traditional screen-printing and cutting-edge digital fabrication methods, ensuring solutions that meet exacting specifications.We maintain rigorous quality control through ISO-compliant processes and use materials like acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS plastic. Our commitment to sustainability is demonstrated through 100% recyclable products and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices. We serve clients nationwide, including major projects for Worcestershire County Council and Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service. Our technical proficiency extends to bespoke waymarkers, hydrant plates, and safety signage tailored to specific operational requirements. This combination of heritage, technical capability, and environmental stewardship establishes Brissco Sign & Graphics as a respected leader in the UK signage industry.

Brissco Sign & Graphics produces durable, compliant signage for public and industrial applications using advanced fabrication techniques. Our products include safety signs, information displays, and regulatory markers that meet international standards for clarity and durability. We utilise materials like polycarbonate and ABS plastic to ensure longevity in outdoor environments.
