Shop 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. Shop Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.

You can choose no or yes. Profile cut means the board is cut to the outline of your design instead of a plain rectangle. Supply the cut line with your artwork, or ask us to set it up. Each choice changes the price live in the calculator, so you can compare before you add to basket. Shop Signs are printed on 3mm Di-Bond and 5mm Foamex.

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.

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. Shop Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

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. Shop Signs come in 12 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 2440 × 610 mm.

For large items read from a distance, 100 to 150 dpi at the finished size is enough. At 100 dpi a 2440 × 610 mm design needs about 9,606 × 2,402 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.

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. Shop Signs come in 12 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 2440 × 610 mm.

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. Shop Signs come in 12 listed sizes, from A4 (210 × 297 mm) to 2440 × 610 mm.

For Shop Signs, set your file up at the size you order, for example A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Foamex and Correx cut with a sharp craft knife and a straight edge: score a few times, then snap or cut through.

Shop Signs can also be designed in our online designer, where you approve exactly what you see.

It looks for sample text you have not replaced, text below the smallest size that prints clearly, anything too close to the edge or outside the safe area, logos or photos too low in resolution for the size, and items overlapping text. Blocking problems must be fixed before you can approve; warnings you can accept if you are happy. The checks do not read your spelling, so check names, numbers and dates yourself.
