Formulate Shadow Outdoor Sign
Shadow is part of the Formulate family with the same tool-free characteristics but is made from black powder coated steel rather than aluminium which makes it strong and very sturdy, so it is ideal for exposed outdoor positions or high-volume footfall.
Perfect for use on hard surfaces or soft ground as Shadow has predrilled holes to enable it to be secured using pegs (supplied) on grass, terrain or on hard sand to provide extra stability.
The double-sided tension fit fabric graphic is vibrant regardless of the weather and is easy to deploy as it pulls over the frame and is secured using a zip at the base.
The wheeled base has a handy hand hole for ease of deployment and manoeuvrability.
Shadow is perfect for petrol station forecourt signage, retail applications, coffee shops, events, open days, wayfinding.
Shadow can also be used indoors.
