Instrument Panel Signage

[BillLipson]

The small instrument/instructional signs on my instrument panel seem to be made of something resembling paper and stuck to the panel. I would like to replace them with clearer lettering and a more professional finish. Any idea where I could get these done or do them myself?

Plastic tags at tingalpa qld did all my signage at reasonable price and they look good

I used a brother label printer black background and white letters and numbers.  Looks nice for my requirements.

 

There is a topic show us your panels and you will see a variety of print work to get ideas.

Any signwriting or graphics crowd with the right computerised equipment and materials should be able to offer you a range of etched or engraved instrumentation signage at modest cost.

Laser engraving done on two-colour plastic is probably quite adequate, but you need to ensure the materials are UV-proof and durable.

You can buy basic aircraft instrumentation labelling kits made from vinyl, I have no idea how durable they are, but they're much cheaper than getting some made by a graphics or signwriting crowd.

Anything made from 3M or Arlon materials, I have found to be quite durable.

The last option is acquiring an electronic labeller such as Dymo or Brother brands, and making your own desired wordings for the signage.

 

But I've found the materials used in these labellers are generally not durable for the long term, or in strong sunlight.

Google traffolyte labels for another option - there are a bunch of online businesses that will produce customised labels pretty cheaply.

These are made with brother label printer.  Been over 10 years now.  Allows your personal requirements.

If you can find someone with a laser printer, they can make you amazing labels - almost any shape, colour, font, size, you might imagine.😈
