Signage Production Process
There are 5 steps to producing your sign:
- Discuss the Concept: often including a site inspection for your signage, we discuss your needs, ideas and options that best suit your business & location
- Provide a Quote: based on concept discussions, the quote often has options, helping meet your budget and provide the best outcome. If the quote is over $500 we may ask for a 50% deposit prior to commencing.
- Commence Artwork: once the quote is approved in writing, we commence artwork and/or you get your designer of choice to supply artwork (see below for formats). If you require artist impressions and/or artwork to be supplied prior to accepting the quote this is charged at an hourly rate.
- Fabrication: once artwork is approved, fabrication of the signage commences. Depending on the processes involved, this can range from 2 days up to 2 or more weeks (this will be discussed in detail with you).
- Installation: (if applicable) we will liaise with you as to when is the best time to install your signage. Once the installation is completed, final payment will be due.
