FAQs
What materials are available for custom signage, and which is best for outdoor use?
For custom signage, we offer a variety of materials tailored to different uses and environments. These include the following:
- Vinyl — Highly versatile and weather-resistant, vinyl is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. It’s ideal for banners, vehicle wraps and window signage due to its flexibility and durability.
- Acrylic — Known for its glossy finish, acrylic offers a high-end look for indoor signs such as lobby or reception area displays and can be used outdoors when thickness and treatment are adjusted for enhanced durability.
- Metal — For outdoor custom signage in Brisbane, metal is a top choice due to its robustness and longevity. High-grade aluminium and stainless steel, in particular, is favoured for its rust resistance and strength, making it ideal for fabricated letters (LED illuminated or non-illuminates) for exterior building signs.
- Wood — Offering a classic and rustic appeal, wood signs are best suited for indoor use or covered outdoor areas where direct exposure to harsh weather conditions can be minimised. They are popular for boutique shops, cafés and local artisan stores seeking a natural aesthetic.
- Aluminium Composite Panel (ACM panel) — Specifically recommended for outdoor use, this material withstands various environmental factors, including UV rays, rain and high temperatures, without corroding or fading. It’s ideal for permanent outdoor fixtures like building signs, car park signs, directional signs and informational panels.
Overall, we recommend materials like high-grade aluminium or durable vinyl that resist weathering and UV damage for many outdoor custom signage in Brisbane. However, a combination of other materials may be best suited to your requirements.
To discuss the most suitable materials for your specific needs, please contact us. Rest assured that each material is selected to maximise visibility and durability, ensuring your signage stands the test of time.
Can you provide design services or templates to help create my custom signage?
Yes, at Seven Print, we provide comprehensive design services to help you create impactful custom signage. Our team can work with you from concept to creation, offering both completely bespoke designs and modifications to existing templates. This service ensures that your custom signage effectively represents your brand’s vision and message.
Here are more details on how we assist you with your design needs:
- Initial consultation — We discuss your vision, objectives and requirements for the signage, making sure to understand the branding guidelines and message you wish to convey.
- Design brief creation — After reviewing site photos or surveying the site for your custom signage, we compile a detailed design brief that outlines all specifications, including size, colours, materials and placement. Next, we’ll confirm the budget and timeline for the project.
- Concept development — Our designers begin crafting design concepts based on the brief. We may present several concepts for you to choose from, ensuring a range of options.
- Feedback and revisions — You review the initial designs and provide feedback. Our team makes revisions accordingly to refine the designs until they meet your expectations.
- Final design approval — Once you’re satisfied with the design, we will move forward with your final approval. Detailed proofs, including sign mockup, are provided to ensure accuracy before production begins.
- Template adjustments — If existing templates are used, adjustments are made to ensure the template fits the new design requirements. Modifications are reviewed and approved by you.
- Preparation for production — The final approved design is prepared for production. We ensure all files are correctly formatted and ready for the chosen signage materials and methods.
What is the typical turnaround time from design approval to delivery?
Generally, production for non-illuminated custom signs is completed within 5 to 10 working days from design approval, whilst illuminated signs take 1 or 2 weeks longer. Please note that the typical turnaround time for custom business signage can vary depending on the complexity and scale of the project. However, we strive to accommodate tighter deadlines whenever possible.
When you consult with us, we can give you more precise timelines based on your specific project. Additionally, we keep you updated throughout the process so you are fully informed and involved at every stage, ensuring your complete satisfaction with the final product.

How should I prepare the site for the installation of large or complex custom signage?
In most cases, you will want to check the following:
- Accessibility — Ensure that the installation area is easily accessible for both personnel and any necessary equipment, such as lifts or scaffolding.
- Clearance — Remove any obstacles that might interfere with the installation process, such as vehicles, furniture or debris.
- Utilities check — Confirm that there are no utility lines (electrical, gas, water) in the installation area that could pose a hazard.
- Site safety — Establish a safety perimeter around the installation area to protect both the installers and bystanders, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Structural integrity — If the signage is to be installed on a building or structure, verify that the structure can support the weight and wind load of the sign to avoid structural damage.
Following these guidelines can help ensure a smooth installation process and maintain the safety and integrity of both the signage and the installation site. However, this will depend on your specific custom signage.
You may double-check with our team regarding your signage requirements and any specific site preparations needed. During installation, we ensure meticulous attention to detail and adhere strictly to safety standards to guarantee effective and secure sign placement.
