1. Surveying and site checks
Before making or cutting anything, your site or vehicle is checked physically. This stops fitting errors and makes sure the right materials are used for your environment.
- Vehicle measuring: Getting exact measurements so your wraps fit perfectly around handles, hinges, and curves without distortion.
- Site surveys: Checking building walls for structural strength, council rules, and height access before fabrication starts.
- Removal and overlay checks: Testing existing signs to see if new graphics can go straight over them to save you money, or if a clean removal is needed first.
2. Design and file setup
Your current branding is adapted to fit large-format signs, keeping your look consistent across everything you own.
- Brand integration: Scaling your logo and business style up so it looks sharp and easy to read from a distance.
- Colour matching: Matching your physical signs directly to your official corporate brand colours.
- Print-ready files: Fixing and formatting your artwork files so they print clearly at a huge scale without blurring.
3. Production and manufacturing
Your signs are built using tough, weather-resistant materials designed to last in New Zealand conditions.
- Durable printing: Using UV-stable inks that do not fade fast in the Kiwi sun.
- CNC cutting: Cutting custom shapes and letters out of solid acrylic or aluminium composite panels (ACM).
- Lightbox building: Making bright, energy-efficient LED lightboxes that keep your business visible 24/7.
4. Installation and safety
The final install is managed from start to finish so your day-to-day business keeps running smoothly.
- Project management: Handling the logistics, from council consents to booking special lifting gear.
- Installing supplied graphics: If you already have corporate prints from a national rollout, they get put up to standard trade specs.
- Site safety: Keeping your staff and customers safe using fully insured installers with Site Safe passports and height tickets (EWP).
Things to know before you start
To keep your project moving fast and on budget, check these quick technical points before sending through your files:
-
Artwork formatsSend your files as vectors (.EPS, .AI, or print-ready .PDF) with text converted to outlines. Note: Low-res web screenshots or AI-generated art cannot be used because they go blurry when blown up to sign size.
-
Bleed marginsPut a 10mm bleed on all sides of your design files. This extra print edge stops ugly white lines from showing when the sign is trimmed to size.
-
When a survey is neededComplex building installations, high-access jobs, or old vinyl removals always need a physical site look first. This prevents surprises and ensures the right safety gear is booked for installation day.
