Why cutting corners costs more in the long run.

Skimp on coating and you’ll end up with scratched, rusted, or brittle parts. That means more replacements, more hassle, and a lower-quality finish.
  • Coatings that crack or peel

    If the plastic doesn’t bond properly, it lifts off the material. That’s bad news for both durability and appearance.

  • Rust creeping through

    Thin or patchy coatings let in moisture. Before long, corrosion starts from the inside out.
  • Inconsistent colour or finish

    Uneven coatings make displays look patchy or low-quality – not the impression you want to leave.

Plastic Coating Done Right, By People Who Care.


  • Protects against wear and tear

    Our plastic coatings give metal parts a tough, uniform finish that resists knocks, scrapes, and moisture.
  • Looks clean, feels solid

    We take the time to get the coating right – no patchy spots or rough edges. Just a smooth, consistent finish.

  • Tailored to your spec

    From plastic-coated wire mesh to custom metalwork, we coat to your design – no fuss, no drama.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • What materials can you apply plastic coating to?

    We typically coat mild steel and wire mesh. If you’ve got something else in mind, just ask – we’ll let you know what’s possible.

  • Is the plastic coating weatherproof?

    Yes. Our coatings are built to resist moisture, rust, and general wear – ideal for retail and transport environments.

  • Can I specify a colour for the coating?

    Absolutely. We offer a wide range of colours. If you have a brand colour or specific finish in mind, just let us know.

  • Do you offer coating only, or full fabrication too?

    We do both. If you just need plastic coating, no problem. If you need fabrication and coating, we’ve got that covered too.

  • How durable is your plastic coating?

    We use high-quality coatings designed to last. They resist cracking, flaking, and corrosion under normal use.

  • What’s the turnaround time?

    It depends on the job size and spec, but we’ll always give you a clear lead time, and stick to it.

Why Cutting Corners Costs More Later.

Poor blackodising can lead to patchy finishes, premature rust, and underperforming parts. That’s wasted time, money, and reputation.
  • Patchy or Uneven Finishes

    Inconsistent blackodising doesn’t just look unprofessional – it can compromise protection and the overall impression of your product.

  • Premature Corrosion

    When blackodising isn’t done properly, steel won’t stand up to moisture, handling, or time. That’s simply not good enough.
  • Delays from Poor Handling

    If blackodising is treated as an afterthought, it can cause delays and rework. We make sure it’s done right from the start.

Blackodising That Performs and Looks the Part.


  • Engineered for Wear and Weather

    Our blackodising process gives steel parts a tough, reliable layer of protection against rust, impact, and everyday wear.
  • Clean, Consistent Finish

    We ensure even tone and full coverage – no blotches, no inconsistencies. Just a smooth, uniform black finish.

  • Fully In-House Process

    All blackodising is done on-site by our team. Fewer handovers mean better quality control and faster turnaround.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • What materials can you blackodise?

    We blackodise mild steel components. Not sure if your parts are suitable? Just ask and we’ll give you a clear answer.

  • What’s the finish like on blackodised steel?

    Blackodised steel has a smooth, matte black appearance. It’s subtle, uniform, and provides light corrosion resistance.

  • How durable is blackodising?

    While not indestructible, blackodising is a reliable way to protect steel from rust and wear in indoor or light industrial settings.

  • Do you offer blackodising as a standalone service?

    Yes, we can blackodise your supplied parts or include it as part of a full fabrication project. Just let us know what you need.

  • Is blackodising environmentally friendly?

    Our process uses minimal chemicals and produces very little waste. We comply with all current safety and disposal regulations.

  • How long does blackodising take?

    Turnaround time depends on the size and volume of parts. We’ll always provide a realistic lead time, no false promises.

Design

Practical, Purpose-Built Point of Sale Displays

We design and manufacture POS displays that do what they should – stand out in-store, withstand daily use, and make life easier for your team.

When POS Design Lets You Down.

A clever idea means nothing if it doesn’t perform on the shop floor. Poor POS design wastes time, costs sales, and tests everyone’s patience.
  • Looks good, breaks fast

    Displays that look great on screen but don’t fit the space, can’t take the weight, or fall apart under foot traffic.
  • Not built for the real world

    Designs that ignore real store conditions are awkward to install, hard to restock, and easy to knock over.

  • Delivery delays and spec slip-ups

    POS that arrives late or off-spec, leaving marketing teams scrambling and sales staff frustrated.

POS Design That Works Where It Counts.


  • Purpose-led design

    We design with the end in mind – how it’s used, who handles it, and what it needs to deliver in-store.

  • Designed by doers

    You’ll work with people who’ve built and installed thousands of POS units, not just designed them. We know what lasts.

  • One team, from start to finish

    From concept to prototype to production, everything happens in-house. That means better control, clear costs, and no nasty surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Can you design POS to work with our existing fixtures?

    Absolutely. Whether it’s a standalone unit or needs to integrate with your current setup, we’ll design it to fit.

  • Do you provide prototypes before full production?

    Yes, we produce physical samples so you can see how it looks, test how it works, and make sure it’s right before moving forward.

  • How involved can I be in the POS design process?

    As involved as you like. Some clients come with a full brief, others want help shaping the idea. We’ll work your way.

  • What industries do you design POS for?

    We’ve created POS for retail, FMCG, food and drink, and more. If it needs to hold stock and grab attention, we can design it.

  • Do you handle POS manufacturing too?

    We do. Design, prototyping, and production all happen under one roof here in Yorkshire, keeping things simple and consistent.

  • How long does the POS design process take?

    It depends on the brief, but we’ll always give you a clear timeline upfront. No empty promises – just honest schedules that hold up.

When It’s Not Done Right….

A poorly executed display doesn’t just look off – it can drain your budget, slow sales, and make your brand easier to overlook.

  • Displays That Don’t Fit the Space

    If it blocks the aisle or doesn’t sit right, it creates more problems than it solves.
  • Materials That Don’t Last

    The wrong material choice and finishes don’t reflect well on your product, or your brand.

  • Design That Misses the Mark

    If it doesn’t match your branding or catch the eye, it won’t do the job it’s meant to.

End of Aisle Displays That Work Hard.


  • Made to Fit

    We custom-build every end of aisle display to suit your store layout, stock requirements and shopper flow – nothing off the shelf.

  • Built to Last the Season

  • Designed with Purpose
