This week has been full of give-away posts and that’s nice, of course, but I thought it would be fun to mix it with some facts regarding our signs. You know I love telling you about our products and how they are made, and the reason why I like this so much, is because I’m really proud of the products and their quality.
Enamel signs have been on the market for many decades now. They were produced in many factories all over Europe, until World War II. After the war, people started to buy cheaper signs, made of cheaper material instead, which meant most factories had to close down the production of enamel signs. Ramsign started revived the production in 1991 and has produced hand stencilled enamel signs ever since. From the beginning we offered blue and white signs (Metropolitan), white signs with black text (Highlander) and these signs became very popular right away. Today we offer five different collections, including Metropolitan and Highlander.
Ramsign takes pride in producing unique, hand stencilled signs of high quality. The fat, glossy enamel, along with the craftsman touch on every sign, makes the signs from Ramsign really unique and special.
Each enamel sign is carefully stencilled and burned at 800 degrees Celsius. The process is repeated for each color. Only when the enamel is melted and cooled down the true color of the enamel will appear. Manufacture of enamel signs can be compared with the production of blown glass, where no two copies are alike. Another important aspect to mention is that all our signs are enamelled on the back as well, in order to prevent corrosion. This means the sign will remain glossy and beautiful for a very long time and the customer won’t have to worry about maintenance and weather issues.
It’s really interesting to look into the story behind each sign and I think it’s amazing how the signs can be alike, but still unique. Noone else will ever have a sign that looks exactly like my sign, and that’s fantastic, don’t you think?
