House & Property Signs, New Trends

Apparently, in parts of the USA, there is a growing trend for house signs to incorporate a photograph of the family who are living there. Interesting.

In business, we are often charged with incorporating company logos into signage, whatever the medium - cut vinyl, digital print, etched glass, metallic plaques, etc. The cost varies between techniques.

Property For Sale signs are mass-produced for each Estate Agent, designed to look distinctive with logo and using company colours and style. More often now, we are including QR code images so that passers-by can use their 'smart phones' to instantly connect to their website for details of the property they have seen.

Edinburgh Festival & various print services

Edinburgh is full of interesting architecture. In the photograph on the left is a building wrap, printed to represent the building beneath the wrap (or how it will look when the renovation is complete) and on the fence in the foreground is a large printed hoarding that provides details of the whole building project.

On the right is one of the Edinburgh Fringe venues, draped with sturdy printed banners that can be seen at a distance, to help visitors find it. The large poster board at the bottom of the photograph details that day's entertainment.

Below is a very small sample of the number of smaller advertising posters that adorned the city. (Yes, that's 'Ted' from the American TV show Scrubs; actor-musician Sam Lloyd also plays in a music band The Blanks, who were appearing at the Gilded Balloon.)

Very Large Advertising Hoardings

From aerial platforms or by abseiling, Signcraft's experienced sign-fitters will wrap a building with a durable, weather resistant banner, printed to a client's exact specifications. Additionally, we can print and erect large site development signs.

Most impressive are the very large advertising hoardings we have supplied to clients.

Commercial Property Signage, Portsmouth & Southampton

Working in London presents logistical difficulties when delivering and erecting signage and certain destinations are virtually no go areas until the Olympic games are over.

In the meantime, business needs to continue and there are no sensible contingencies available to service providers trying to access London so we are thankful that we are extremely busy on the South Coast.

Commercial property investments in Portsmouth and the surrounding areas seem quite buoyant and Signcraft has been regularly visiting sites to add new business tenants to an ever expanding way finding system in one of the area's major projects, as well as identity and tenant directory signage in near-by Southampton.

Signcraft specialises in large signage. View our portfolios for:

• commercial property
• architectural signage
• site development signage
• shopping centre / retail signage

Large Format Signage

Yet more improved print capacity for Signcraft!

Following the recent installation of our new W64S Seiko roll to roll printer we have just acquired a second flat bed digital UV printer that allows us to print even higher quality images direct to substrate.

This has required a complete re-design of the ground floor production facility but we are sure that the disruption will be justified as it will enhance our output and end quality capabilities.

Our new capability will open up amazing opportunities for large format signage. Test us! Contact us with your most challenging signage projects now, 01895 442768
