Signage that carries the same brand as your uniforms

Businesses that order embroidered corporate clothing from us are often opening a shop, moving offices or kitting out a team for a site or event. At those moments the uniform is only half the picture. Common signage requests include:

• Shopfront and fascia signs, and window or door vinyl with trading details
• Reception and office wall signs that match the logo on staff shirts
• Site boards and safety or directional signs for contractors
• A-frame pavement boards for cafes, salons and retailers
• Banners and correx boards for openings, school events and promotions

Briefing signage with your uniforms means a single logo review and one point of contact.

The right substrate depends on whether the sign is indoors or outdoors, how long it needs to last and how it will be fixed. We confirm the final specification on the quote.

• Correx for short-term outdoor messages such as events, sales and site notices.
• ABS or PVC board for indoor signs and sheltered outdoor positions.
• Aluminium composite for longer-term outdoor signs that need to stay flat and rigid.
• Self-adhesive vinyl, cut or printed, for windows, walls, doors and vehicles.
• PVC banners with eyelets or hems for fences, walls and frames.

Illuminated and built-up lettering can be quoted on request; we will tell you what is involved before you commit.

A logo that stitches well at a few centimetres wide can fall apart when blown up to a metre. Signage needs a true vector file (AI, EPS, SVG or a vector PDF) so edges stay crisp at any size. Raster files are only suitable for printed signs if they are high resolution at the final size.

Send exact sign dimensions or a photo of the wall or window with rough measurements. We will lay out the sign, check text sizes for reading distance and send a proof. If your logo only exists as a low-resolution image, our graphic design service can redraw it, quoted separately, and the cleaned file then serves your embroidery too.

Clients sometimes ask whether a large logo on a banner, backdrop or tablecloth can be embroidered. For most large-format branding, printing is faster, sharper and far more practical than stitching. Embroidery shines on garments and soft goods where texture and durability count; print and vinyl win on flat, large or temporary surfaces.

Our advice is simple: stitch what people wear and carry, print what people look at from a distance. If your project sits between the two, such as event staff kit plus a stand, we will suggest the best split and quote both together. See trade show displays for expo-specific options.

Timing depends on the material, size, quantity, approved artwork and current production load, so we confirm a realistic date on the quote rather than promising one up front. Simple printed boards and banners generally move faster than fabricated or illuminated signs.

Smaller signs and banners can be collected from our Rivonia shop once we confirm they are ready. Delivery is quoted per job. Where a sign needs fixing to a wall, fascia or fence, installation can be quoted separately after we understand the surface, height and access; please share photos so we can assess it properly.
