    Our PANO agency Iraq has a showroom where you can come and see and touch samples of the materials available. For standard projects, we can provide small material samples on a case-by-case basis. Finally, for larger projects, we offer a prototyping service to show you what the finished product will look like.

  • Can you come on site to study the project?

    Yes, we can carry out an on-site visit to your premises, to better understand your expectations and study the specific technical constraints of your project. Internally, we call this visit a survey (technical study). This enables us to anticipate any difficulties and provide you with a customized quotation.

  • Do I need permission to install an outdoor sign or billboard?

    Depending on its location, dimensions and installation method, an outdoor sign or billboard may require prior approval from the municipality, the property owner or another competent authority.

    Requirements may differ according to the area, type of building and visibility from public roads.

    We recommend checking the applicable local requirements before production and installation.

    The PANO Iraq team can help you prepare the technical information required for your project.

  • What regulations apply to outdoor and illuminated signage?

    Requirements for outdoor and illuminated signage may vary depending on the location, type of building and local authority regulations. Before installation, approval may be required from the municipality or other competent authorities.
    Illuminated signs must also comply with the applicable electrical, structural, fire safety, brightness and public safety requirements.

    The PANO Iraq team can advise you on the most suitable technical solution and help you identify the approvals required for your project. Final approval remains subject to the competent local authorities.

  • What ecological alternatives are you proposing?

    As part of our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach, we select suppliers and partners to offer you the most environmentally-friendly alternatives possible for all raw materials.
    We take care to minimize environmental impact at every stage in the life cycle of our products, from manufacture to end-of-life. Where possible, we favour local production and carefully selected suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of transport. We aim to reuse or recycle production off-cuts whenever suitable recycling solutions are available.

    This depends, of course, on the type of project, the number of units to be produced, dimensions, materials, etc. Since we’re talking about custom-made products, we can always adapt to your budget. Contact us for a free personalized quote.

  • How do I pay?

    Payment is made in 2 instalments: first an initial deposit when the order is placed, then a final balance on receipt of the project.

  • Can I change or cancel my order?

    For all orders, we send you a quotation to sign, followed by a graphic mock-up (Bon à tirer) describing your project. You can make up to 3 changes on this proof. Once you’ve validated the proof, we start production: you can no longer modify your order.

  • How long does it take to complete a project?

    It all depends, of course, on the type of project, its complexity and scale. There is no waiting period before the project starts. In general, here are the average completion times for each project:

  • Are you in charge of installation?

    Yes, we can install all our products on your premises. Our team is trained in the best installation techniques and equipped with all the necessary tools. It’s the assurance of signage installed according to the rules of the trade!

  • Do you remove old signage?

    Yes, PANO offers a dismantling, removal and recycling service for all elements of the old signage. This service is available even if the signage was not originally installed by PANO.

  • Where do you make your products?

    Our products are manufactured or sourced according to the technical requirements of each project. Contact PANO Iraq for further information about the origin and manufacture of a specific product. In the vast majority of cases, signage is manufactured locally by our team in our own workshops. Come and visit the PANO agency Iraq to see our production tools.

    We also have larger production units pooled in France for larger-scale projects or specific requests. This is the strength of our national network of independent agencies.

  • How long do your products last?

    Service life depends on the product and how it is used. So a product designed for long-term use will last longer than one designed for short-term use. In other words, we adapt product lifetimes to customers’ needs.
    For example, a commercial sign will be built with resistant materials to last for years, while an event window decoration will be made with a short-lasting adhesive to avoid marks on the window when removed.

  • Are your products guaranteed?

    Yes, all PANO products are guaranteed. The duration and type of warranty depend on the type of signage. Customer satisfaction is paramount: it’s one of the commitments in our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) charter.

    Yes. In addition to installation, we offer optional maintenance and service contracts, including lighting and cleaning of installed products.
