The Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) will be conducting a webinar on channel letter bending on 28 February, at 2pm AEDT.

The webinar will focus on how to manufacture a sign in 30 minutes and showcase how channel letter bending machines can increase a sign business’ profitability by significantly reducing fabrication lead times.

Attendees will learn how staff can be manufacturing signs with this technology with two days of training.

An overview of laser welding will also be covered.

Peter Fitzpatrick of Lettertech Australia will provide the background on the technology, its capabilities and the training required. Mick Harrold of Visual Exposure and ASGA will outline his experience in channel letter bending and how the technology has improved his business. Vernon Kingman of Kingman Strategies will moderate the webinar.

“This webinar will serve as a video resource where attendees can get some practical ideas on channel letter bending and help them to decide if it’s a good fit for their business,” ASGA president, Mick Harrold said.

“We want to bring manufacturing back to Australia. That’s what these machines and new technologies are allowing us to do. You can produce stuff at a cheaper cost base locally.

“The efficiency of fabricating a sign and the fact that a highly skilled fabricator is generally not needed for the process, makes the latest in channel letter bending technology very attractive for signmakers that are currently being squeezed by high material costs and staff shortages.”

ASGA members can register free, while for non-ASGA members is $33 inc GST.
