TSG partnered with FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 to provide sustainable, custom signage for their VIP Club FESPA lounge area in Berlin. FESPA chose TSG for its reliable, high-quality, and environmentally responsible solutions. TSG delivered seven bespoke, low-carbon signs, emphasizing in-house UK production with renewable energy, eco-solvent printing, and low-waste techniques, demonstrating that impactful signage can also be sustainable.
This spring in Berlin, the FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 brought together the print and signage industry’s top minds and talents. Among the standout installations was the VIP area, Club FESPA Lounge — an exclusive space designed to welcome FESPA members with premium finishes, bespoke lighting, and a strong emphasis on sustainability.

At the centre of this environment was The Sign Group (TSG) — a trusted UK manufacturer of signage and lighting for the trade, with a strong reputation for delivering sustainable, high-impact signage. Working closely with the FESPA team, we supplied a suite of custom signage solutions that balanced clean design with environmental responsibility.
Why FESPA Chose TSG
When selecting a signage partner for the show’s flagship space, FESPA’s Head of Associations & Technical Lead, Graeme Richardson-Locke, needed a team that could deliver dependable results with minimal fuss — and maximum quality.
“Having worked with The Sign Group on previous projects, I’ve always been impressed by both their service and the quality of their product. They consistently deliver with care, precision, and professionalism. When it came to creating a standout, sustainable VIP area for FESPA Global Print Expo 2025, TSG were the natural choice — and they didn’t disappoint.”

“We’ve built our business on high standards, efficient project delivery, and a collaborative, solution-focused approach. Whether it’s a national store rollout or one-off exhibition build, our clients trust us to deliver to spec, on time, and with a smile. Our clients trust us to deliver without fuss — and we take that seriously,” says Grey Hoole, Managing Director at TSG.
Clean, Cohesive Signage for a Premium Space
The FESPA, Club FESPA Lounge VIP area required signage that complemented — rather than dominated — the visual experience. TSG delivered seven bespoke wayfinding and directional elements, designed to integrate seamlessly with the event’s layout, branding, and lighting.
Every piece was:
– Custom-built using sustainable materials
– Produced in-house at our Leeds manufacturing facility
– Finished to a premium standard with clean, minimal design
From zone identifiers to illuminated directional signage, each component was built to elevate the space’s overall ambience while supporting flow and functionality.
This is where our commitment to bespoke signage design truly shines — combining clarity, style, and subtle brand reinforcement in every detail.
Sustainability by Design
FESPA’s focus on sustainability was clear from the outset — and TSG was the perfect partner to bring that vision to life. As a low-carbon signage supplier, we focus on reducing environmental impact without compromising aesthetics or durability.

Highlights from our sustainability program include:
– Use of our exclusive Carbon Footprint Calculator, developed with CarbonQuota®, to measure and verify CO₂e data on all Neonplus® and Neon Flex signs.
– In-house UK production powered by 100% renewable energy.
– Adoption of eco-solvent printing, long-life materials, and low-waste fabrication techniques.
– Launch of our High-Efficiency Neonplus® range — a low-voltage signage option that combines striking visuals with dramatically reduced energy use.
– Tree planting and verified carbon offsetting via our Carma partnership — including dashboards and certificates for full traceability.
Our Neonplus® and Neon Flex signs offer a lower-voltage, longer-lasting alternative to traditional neon — without the fragility or environmental concerns associated with older materials.
These initiatives allowed FESPA to present sustainability not just as a value, but as a measurable outcome — with real data, transparent sourcing, and standout visual results.
