: I agree with Kim and Mels. I don't like "implementation" for "Produktion", I think it needs "production" as they are actually producing the labels and billboards.

advertising board / sign, bill board
Promotional board is too literal, I'm afraid. Pb's do exist, but they're committees rather than panels...

display panel
transportable, free-standing or wall-mounted, usually vertical, flat or curved panels for mounting advertising, promotional and informational contents, as for trade shows.
Also cf Messetafel; or roll-up, pop-up for highly mobile versions

I'd say
We are pleased to handle for you the full range of steps, from design concept all the way to the point of standard production, including the procurement of fittings as well as creation of your labelling and promotional displays.
"we would be happy" sounds a bit quaint, 'serial production' is more like assembly line production, not sure if that's the case here. Nor do you say 'would be pleased'. (We SHOULD be pleased is correct, but old-fashioned)

: Where do you get your information on current English usage? "We would be happy" is quaint? "We should be pleased" is quite British and not old fashioned at all.

Die Werbetafeln sind etwas schwierig, das unklar; spontan dachte ich auch an billboard, aber das sind eher die großen, für Außenwerbung. Im Laden z.B. würde ich eher von display reden. Mehr Kontext wäre nützlich.
