Why are signs and graphics important for my business?

Signage is one of the most cost effective ways to advertise. It works for your business 24/7, creates a lasting first impression, strengthens brand identity, and builds trust with your audience.

Do I need to supply my own artwork?

We accept most common file formats for artwork, logos, and photographs, but prefer: .plt, .eps, .pdf, .cdr, .tiff, .jpg, .ai, or .psd files.

Please note that designs created in programs like Microsoft Word or PowerPoint typically lack the resolution needed for high-quality reproduction and may need to be redrawn.
If your artwork requires additional design work, a small fee may apply—this will always be confirmed with you in advance.

Interior & Exterior Signs

Can you provide both temporary and permanent signs for indoor and outdoor use?

Yes, we offer both temporary and permanent signage solutions tailored to your needs, location, and budget. The materials we use are selected based on whether your sign is intended for indoor or outdoor use, ensuring maximum durability and performance.

We also offer protective options such as anti-vandal and tamper-proof laminates to safeguard your signage from damage.

Most of our signs are built to last for years—making them a smart, long-term investment that promotes your business 24/7.

Can built-up lettering be used for both exterior and interior signs?

Yes, built-up lettering is versatile and can be used for both exterior and interior signage. Commonly seen on exterior signs, these raised, three-dimensional letters are made from materials like plastic, acrylic, or aluminium, and add a high-impact visual element to any space.

For added visibility, especially at night, illumination options such as trough lighting or internal LED halo lighting can be included.

Built-up lettering offers a premium, professional look—perfect for storefronts, reception areas, and branded feature walls.

What is a projecting sign or hanging sign?

A projecting sign (also known as a hanging sign) is mounted on a bracket so that it extends outward, perpendicular to the building façade. This makes it highly visible from both directions along a street—ideal for high foot fall areas, such as retail zones or busy pedestrian walkways.

Projecting signs are often used to complement a fascia sign, helping your business stand out from the crowd and attract attention from passersby at a distance.

Do you supply lighting to make my business sign illuminated?

Yes, we recommend adding lighting to your sign to ensure it remains highly visible both day and night. We offer a variety of lighting options suitable for exterior and interior use, including LED lighting and trough lighting, to enhance the visibility and impact of your sign.

What are LED signs and how do they work?

LED signs are composed of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), which are solid-state semiconductor devices that convert electrical energy into light. These LEDs are arranged closely together within a polymer casing, allowing their light to blend seamlessly for a consistent illumination. Gaining popularity for their versatility and low energy consumption, LED signs offer a sleek, professional appearance for both indoor and outdoor applications. They come in various colors and can include programmable variable message displays to showcase any desired text.

What is a light box sign?

A light box sign is an illuminated display typically used indoors or outdoors and requires connection to a mains power supply. It consists of a box frame with internal Led lighting and a graphic or design applied to the front. Some light boxes feature fret-cut letters or logos for a sleek, backlit effect.

Do I need an electrician to install my signage?

Yes, a qualified electrician should handle the installation if your signage requires a connection to the electrical mains. Innovative Sign Solution has the trusted professional to assist with connecting your sign safely.

Vehicle Graphics & Window Graphics

What are decals?

Decals are another name for vinyl graphics or vinyl signs. They’re typically used to display logos, text, or designs on vehicles such as cars, vans, trucks, lorries, motorbikes, and trailers.

Decals are a popular choice for vehicle branding and promotional graphics, offering a durable, eye-catching solution for mobile advertising.

What are reflective vinyl graphics/conspicuity markings?

Reflective vinyl graphics are specialized materials designed to provide high visibility in low-light conditions, making them ideal for nighttime visibility. These graphics can be applied to vehicles, including rear chevrons, or incorporated into your vehicle’s livery design for added impact.

For commercial vehicles over 3.5 tonnes, legislation requires the inclusion of reflective markings on the vehicle’s body and rear to ensure safety and visibility on the road.

How long do vehicle graphics last?

When applied professionally and cared for properly, vehicle graphics can last for several years. To ensure longevity, we recommend avoiding washing your vehicle for at least one week after the graphics are applied, and not using a jet wash, as this can shorten their lifespan.

For permanent vehicle graphics, we always offer lamination, which helps preserve the colour and quality of any digitally printed images. We also use a range of vinyl grades tailored to meet your specific needs and ensure durability.

Can you provide full-color photographs and text for my vehicle graphics? What options are available?

Yes! Whether you need simple text or full-color photographs, we offer a range of options for your vehicle graphics. From single-color lettering to large-format graphics and vehicle wraps, Innovative Sign Solution is your one-stop solution for all your vehicle branding needs.

Our graphics are applied in our dedicated vehicle application bay, ensuring the best possible conditions for a flawless finish. We also offer magnetic vehicle signs, as well as reflective and conspicuity markings for high-visibility vehicles.

What's the difference between vehicle graphics, vehicle livery, and vehicle wrapping?

Vehicle graphics and vehicle livery are terms commonly used to describe the application of vinyl graphics to a wide range of vehicles, from cars and vans to trucks, motorcycles, and even buses, boats, and airplanes.

The key difference lies in the extent of coverage:

Vehicle graphics typically refer to smaller, partial designs, like logos, text, or specific branding elements.
Vehicle livery usually refers to a more comprehensive design, often including full-color logos, branding, and even unique design elements that represent the company’s identity.

Vehicle wrapping takes this one step further, involving the full coverage of the vehicle with vinyl, often used for large-scale advertisements or custom designs. Wraps can include photographs, logos, tonal fades, and even reflective or conspicuity markings for enhanced visibility.

How do I remove my vehicle graphics?

You have two options for removing your vehicle graphics:

For a small fee, we can professionally remove the graphics for you.
Alternatively, you can remove the graphics yourself by gently heating the vinyl with a hair dryer to loosen it. With proper care, this will allow you to remove the graphics without damaging your vehicle’s paintwork. If the graphics have been on the vehicle for an extended period, you may notice some glue residue, which can be easily cleaned off.

For full vehicle wraps, we recommend having a professional handle the removal to ensure the best results.

What are etched vinyl graphics and how are they used on windows? Etched vinyl graphics

Etched vinyl graphics (also known as frosted vinyl) are an excellent choice for branding glass areas, providing a professional, sleek look for your business. They’re perfect for enhancing the appearance of windows while also offering privacy or subtle decoration.

Etched vinyl is also commonly used on large glass surfaces to meet health and safety regulations, as it helps to make the glass more visible and identifiable.

Banners & Exhibition Displays

What sort of banners do you provide?

At Innovative Sign Solution, we offer a wide variety of banners tailored to both interior and exterior needs. Our options include:

PVC and vinyl printed banners: Ideal for outdoor use, these banners can be fixed to railings, buildings, or banner frameworks.

Can you provide flags?

Yes, we offer a complete range of flags and banners that can be used to enhance the entrance of your premises or promote external events.

What is a banner building wrap?

A banner building wrap is a large-format mesh banner typically fixed to the exterior of a building. It is often used to cover construction works or scaffolding, but it can also serve as a highly visible promotional display, creating a striking visual impact for your business.

What exhibition equipment and graphics do you provide?

We offer a comprehensive range of exhibition equipment and graphics designed to showcase your company in a professional, corporate style. From portable floor-standing roller banners to pop-up exhibition stands, we provide high-quality solutions to meet all your exhibition and display needs.
