Types of pavement signs
We select the right type of pavement sign for its location, your brand and the purpose of the message. A sign outside a restaurant will have different requirements from one in a shopping centre, at an event or as part of a seasonal promotion.
Examples include:
- retail pavement signs – for promoting special offers, new products and discounts
- restaurant and café pavement signs – for displaying menus, daily specials, seasonal promotions or messages at the entrance
- information pavement signs – for marking entrances, directing foot traffic or identifying reception desks, service points and event areas
- pavement signs with replaceable graphics – for campaigns where the message changes seasonally or regularly
- event pavement signs – for trade fairs, conferences, local events and outdoor campaigns
- outdoor pavement signs – for display outside premises, retail outlets or service businesses
We agree the specifications for the structure and graphics based on the brief and the conditions in which the sign will be used.
Materials and UV printing
We UV-print pavement sign graphics on substrates selected to suit the size, display system and location. Depending on the project, graphics can be printed on rigid boards, replaceable inserts or substrates sized to fit the sign frame.
Common options include:
- rigid substrates for information and advertising pavement signs
- replaceable graphics for snap frames
- PVC boards or other lightweight display substrates
- substrates with greater moisture resistance for outdoor display
- prints tailored to a specific system or structure
We select the material to suit the location, expected display period and how the graphics will be replaced. For outdoor pavement signs, it is worth considering exposure to moisture, wind and sunlight, as well as frequent repositioning.
Finishing and artwork preparation
A pavement sign should be easy to read at close range and clearly visible to passing pedestrians. During production, we therefore pay attention to size, contrast, text size, information layout and how the graphics fit the structure.
Available finishing options:
- cutting to size
- contour cutting where required by the design or structure
- rounding corners
- matt or gloss lamination where required by the display location or desired visual effect
- preparing sets of graphics for seasonal changes
- packing and labelling sets by location
For signs with replaceable graphics, we can prepare several messages for a single structure, such as a weekly promotion, seasonal offer, menu, event message or directional information.
Uses for pavement signs
Pavement signs are a practical way to display messages close to an entrance, along the customer’s route or near a service point. They are easy to move, and the graphics can be replaced to match the current campaign.
Typical uses include:
- marking the entrance to a shop, venue or service business
- promoting special offers and promotions
- displaying menus, daily specials or seasonal meal deals
- identifying service points, reception desks and tills
- directing foot traffic at events, trade fairs and conferences
- providing information about opening hours, entry rules or operational changes
- local campaigns and promotional activities in urban spaces
For multi-site projects, we can prepare pavement signs and graphics by location, size, language version or type of retail outlet.
Ordering process and logistics
We produce pavement signs based on your brief, artwork and information about the display location. We use these details to select the size, structure, graphic material, printing technology, finishing and packing method.
Project stages:
- discussing the display location and purpose of the sign
- selecting the size, structure and graphic material
- checking files before production
- UV printing on the selected substrate
- cutting, finishing and collating sets
- packing and dispatching to one or more locations
Lead times depend on the quantity, number of versions, size, structure and packing and assembly requirements. For urgent projects, we check whether express production is possible.
Send us your brief, artwork and details of where the sign will be placed. We will select the size, material and finishing, and prepare a quotation.
