Just a wee peek around the workshop today 👀

A handful of online orders and custom signage jobs making their way through production, with plenty more happening behind the scenes!

Between ongoing fabrication projects, printing, vehicle graphics and installations, there's always plenty on the go 🙌

Time to remove those old vehicle graphics?

With the right tools, a little heat and some patience, removing vinyl graphics can be surprisingly straightforward.

In this Made Simple video, we show you how to tackle the process step by step.

This method works for many common cut and digitally printed vinyl graphics, although older graphics, specialist films and different adhesives may require a different approach.

For larger or more complicated removals, sometimes it's best to leave it to the professionals.

Proud of your lawn? Protect it.

Spring is the perfect time to repair bare patches, sow new grass seed and bring tired lawns back to life. A simple "Please Keep Off the Grass" sign helps give fresh grass the best chance to establish by encouraging people to stick to the paths.

This Keep Off the Grass sign is one of many park, property and grounds maintenance signs available to order online.

We used to cut these by hand! 😱

Back in the day, before we had our router, thick reflective films like this couldn't go through our regular vinyl cutter, so we had to cut the shapes by hand.

A time-consuming process!

Safe to say, we're pretty happy to have a router these days 🙌

A little care during installation can make a big difference to how long your Corflute signs last! 👀

When attaching Corflute to a fence, tighten your cable ties just enough to hold the sign securely without crushing the board or distorting its corners. Adding eyelets can also help reinforce the fixing points and reduce the risk of tearing.

Wind exposure, board thickness, UV exposure and even how you store your signs can also affect their lifespan.

We've put together some practical advice to help you get the most out of your Corflute signage.

Read our latest blog, How to Make Your Corflute Signs Last Longer, on our website.

Need a lightbox for your business?

Our round projecting lightboxes are available in a range of sizes, with plenty of options to make them your own.

This little one was finished in green to match a supplied Pantone, with customer-supplied artwork applied to both sides.

Choose your size and options, upload your artwork, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Ken’s Mart signage at The Acres, Halswell 🛒

We recently completed signage for Christchurch-based Asian supermarket Ken’s Mart, at the new The Acres shopping centre in Halswell.

We manufactured and installed two large signs featuring 38mm Signex 3D lettering and borders, fitted to ACM panels.

From cutting the lettering in-house to the finished installation. Another signage job made simple.

Need people to slow down?

Speed limits aren't just for roads. Car parks, school grounds, warehouses and shared accessways all benefit from clear speed signage, helping remind drivers to slow down where people may be nearby.

This 10 km/h Speed Limit sign is one of many traffic and parking signs available to order online.

Look how easy it is to refresh your own car park markings 👀
Using one of our reusable stencils, you can create clean, professional-looking line marking without the hassle.

Perfect for car parks, warehouses, loading zones, safety markings & more 🙌

And yes… in a real-world setup you’d definitely mask the edges first to avoid overspray 😅

Shop our stencils online, or get in touch if you need something custom.

Recognisable symbols can make a sign quicker to understand at a glance. An arrow gives you direction, a warning symbol signals a hazard, and a crossed-out symbol tells you something isn’t allowed, often before you’ve read a single word.

Pictograms can also help communicate across language barriers. Think about finding your way through an international airport. Even if you don’t speak the local language, familiar symbols can help you find the toilets, locate first aid or understand important instructions.

That’s why you’ll find recognised pictograms throughout our standard sign range, helping important messages communicate quickly and clearly.
