    Sanyo Koubo has the capability to produce
    and install special, custom-made signs, in
    collaboration with Japanese and overseas

    Feel free to ask us about the applications
    and conditions of the signs you need.

    Here are some examples of custom signs we created on the request of our customers.

    Cafe B: “To decorate the interior, we want a sign that evokes a feeling of luxury.”

  • DRIVE THRU SYSTEM

    Range of support for your drive-thru systems

    We offer total support in a consistent system, from the design of drive-thru
    lanes to the design, fabrication and installation of signs, and even the
    deployment of an intercom system. That makes our seamless and flexible correspondence possible.
    Even if your company has never operated a drive-thru or a curbside pickup,
    please feel free to inquire with us.

    Range of support for your drive-thru systems

    Design of road markings for automobiles and graphic design for road surfaces
    Ordering devices such as internally illuminated menu boards and digital signages

  • TICKER SIGN

    To accent a store design or to convey information

    Ticker signs are electronic noticeboards that display scrolling
    textual information. In the past, these were often used as
    signboards, but now they are used more for large displays and
    advertising pillars, as well as in stores and showrooms for
    displays and interior enhancement. An advantage of ticker
    signs is that they can be used not just for decoration, but also
    for conveying information.

    * There are many photos we cannot show here for legal reasons, so please feel free to contact us for further details.

  • Presentation

    VIDEO COMPOSITION

    Presentations of plans using video

    When evaluating the appearance of signs and the effectiveness of advertising,
    it is important to realize that the location and height of installations
    significantly influences customer attraction.
    After engaging us, and in accordance with your preferences and budget, we can offer a video presentation that directly and vividly shows you how your finished installation will appear.
