• Q. Why do I need signs and graphics to promote my business?

  Collapse Expand

  Signs are the most effective and inexpensive form of advertising, promoting your business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Signs are the first point of communication between you and your customers/visitors. And from this, signs are the first impressions people receive of you and your business. Signs are like the clothing of a business; we often notice them when they are missing.

  Many people will admit to judging a business from the state of their signage. Signs also provide information and health and safety signs are a mandatory requirement.

• Q. Do we need to supply our own artwork/designs for our business signs or vehicle graphics?

  Collapse Expand
  Although we specialise in the manufacture of signs and graphics and not design, the nature of the work we do means that we can design our products to meet your exact requirements. At most centres, we can even design your company logo and design your artwork from scratch, through consultation with you.

  
  We will often charge a small design fee and deposit for this service but this will always be confirmed with you prior to commencing the work. Equally, we are very happy to work with your own designs and artwork and accept most file formats. Please visit our centre finder page and contact your nearest sign maker to discuss your requirements.

  We can accept artwork / logos / photographs in most formats but prefer to work with the following: Plt. Eps. Pdf. Tiff. Jpg. AI or PSD files. We regret that artwork designs completed in word or powerpoint will not provide an acceptable resolution for reproduction and will have to be redrawn.
  
  Artwork which needs some additional design work may be chargeable. Please contact your local centre to discuss.
