What are corflute signs?
Corflute is a type of plastic which is lightweight and weather resistant. This material is perfect for both outdoor and indoor signs. Many companies in the construction and real estate industries use this form of company signage for their temporary and more permanent advertisements. Many of our clients use custom printed corflute signs to display site safety rules in and around their construction sites to keep employees and the public safe at all times.
What are front lit vinyl banners?
Vinyl Banners are typically used for outdoor advertising throughout a number of industries. Heavy weight vinyl is used for these banners (typically called PVC) which has a 3-5-year lifespan. When they’re printed on, it’s important to use quality UV protected ink for longer lasting visual impact. Frontlit vinyl banners can be totally customised from the shape, size and print.
How does the process work?
You can prepare artwork yourself or let our in house graphic designers assist, just send us your logos, images and text.
Once you have provided your artwork or our designers have prepared it, we will provide you with a proof. Once you sign off the artwork we can schedule your project for printing.
What is the expected turnaround time on an order?
Turnaround time on orders is not a straightforward question to answer. We can usually offer 7 full working days turnaround from when the artwork is signed off to when it will be delivered.
The whole process can be much quicker if the print ready artwork is supplied by you or proofs signed off in a timely manner.
