Advertising Signs

Yes. Choose single Sided or double Sided in the options. Double sided suits boards seen from both directions, such as a sign on a fence by a road, or a board on a stake. Supply two pages in your file (front and back), and say if the back should be the same design. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

You can choose single Sided or double Sided. Single sided is printed on one face. Double sided prints both faces, for items seen from both directions, such as a flag or a board facing two ways. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

You can choose gloss (One Side), none or matt (One Side). Lamination is a thin clear film over the print. Gloss makes colours look richer, matt cuts glare and suits photos and writing, and soft touch gives a velvety feel. It also helps the surface resist scuffs. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

You can choose 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex or 3.5mm Correx. This is the material the item is printed on. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. If you are unsure which option suits your job, ask a question on this page or call 0161 315 1151.

You can choose all corners, no or top corners. Drilling puts fixing holes in the corners so you can screw or cable tie the board straight up, instead of drilling it yourself. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 1000 × 1000 mm design needs about 3,937 × 3,937 pixels. Logos and text are best as vector artwork, which stays sharp at any size. Photos taken from websites or social media are usually far too small; our file check flags images that may print soft.

Our file check catches the usual problems: the wrong size, no bleed, low resolution images and text too close to the edge. We tell you what needs fixing before anything is printed, and you can send a new file. If you would rather we sort it, the typesetting option (£15, 1 proof and 2 rounds of changes) sets your text and logo on a clean layout. Advertising Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Yes. You can upload your file on the product page, or place the order and upload later: we email you after you order. Your designer can send the file to us by email or WhatsApp with your order number, so it does not have to come through you. The turnaround clock starts once your order and artwork are confirmed, so send the file early if you have a deadline. Advertising Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

A PDF at the finished size is best, with fonts embedded or converted to outlines. We also take AI, EPS and SVG, and high resolution JPG, PNG or TIFF files. Word, PowerPoint and Canva files are fine as a starting point, but export a full-quality PDF if you can. You can upload up to 3 files of 25 MB each on the product page, or upload later: we email you after you order. For Advertising Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Yes. A person from our team checks every uploaded file for size, bleed and resolution, and tells you if something needs fixing before anything is made. If you design online instead, you approve exactly what you see on screen, and that is what we print. We print what you supply, so check spelling, phone numbers and dates yourself too. Production starts once your order and artwork are confirmed. Advertising Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

Yes. When you order printing with a design made in our online designer, the high resolution PDF is attached to your order, and once the order is paid you can download it from My Account and your confirmation email. If you only want the file and no printing, approve the design and buy the print-ready PDF for £9.99. It is digital content, so the right to cancel ends once the download starts. For Advertising Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Only delivery is added. The goods price you see in the calculator is final, with no VAT added. UK mainland delivery is £7.95 per order and free when your goods total is £99 or more after any discount code (artwork and design fees do not count towards it).

Advertising Signs come in 10 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 1000 × 1000 mm.

Yes. A printed board screwed to the wall or fascia makes a tidy shop sign. For example, A1 (594 × 841 mm) from £45.17. Check with your landlord, and with the council if the sign is large or lit, because shop signs can need advertisement consent.

Yes, tied to railings, fencing or a gazebo, or fixed to an easel or stand. Outdoors, check the ties or base again if the wind gets up. Order early enough to allow for turnaround and delivery before the date. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through. Drill fixing holes with an ordinary drill bit, going slowly, and keep holes at least 10 mm from the edge. Cutting into the print loses the bleed, so allow for it in the design. Advertising Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond, 5mm Foamex and 3.5mm Correx.

Strong contrast, a plain bold typeface and a size to suit the viewing distance make the biggest difference. Our standard safety sign designs use the high-contrast colour pairs set by the safety sign scheme. Place signs at eye level, well lit and without glare, and keep the wording short. Advertising Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

Supply CMYK where you can. RGB files are converted to CMYK for print, which can make very bright greens, blues and oranges look slightly duller. If you need a brand colour matched, give us the Pantone reference and we match it as closely as the material allows. Small differences between a screen and the printed item are normal, because screens give off light and print reflects it. Advertising Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.
