Canvas Prints & Posters

Whilst we have always been able to produce posters and canvas prints, we now have a printer dedicated to this work, a brand new Hewlett Packard printer capable of very high resolution prints at affordable prices. Stunning colour posters and brilliant canvas prints can now be ordered.

Just send us your image by e-mail, disk or USB thumb drive, tell us what size you’d like it (up to A0) and we’ll get back to you with a price and how suitable the image is for your intended purpose. Assuming all is OK, you can pay the deposit and place your order. We’ll advise expected turnaround time when you place the order.

The picture above shows a montage of images from a memorable holiday. Now that holiday will never be forgotten and the photos are a talking point among friends and strangers alike. This is a canvas print stretched around a wooden frame. If you would like something similar, we’ll need photographs numbered in importance and a rough idea of what you’re looking for. If you can’t provide the montage yourself, we can set one up for you but there will be a charge for this service. Feel free to call our office on (08) 9248 6226 and have a chat. Yes, we can send out your unframed prints, no matter where you are in Australia. Framed prints can still be sent but the freight will cost more.

Just remember: the better the image, the better the result. As a guide, images “captured” or saved off “the Net” are mostly unsuitable. Digital Camera stills are usually OK to a certain size. A 12 megapixel camera (set to take full size images) will have a higher resolution than a 5 Megapixel camera. When the image has to be printed at a larger size, the file from a 12 Megapixel camera will usually yield a better result. If in doubt, send the biggest file you can lay your hands on. Please also be mindful of copyright.

Van signwriting - use signage to brighten your vehicle

If you’ve just bought a white van, it’s obviously for work purposes. It can look a little bland, however we see it as a blank canvas to create a moving billboard.

Signwriting can transform your white vehicle by adding colour, different fonts, photos and logos, to give your corporate identity a touch of class.

Take this Mercedes Vito for example. We’ve turned it into a mobile coffee shop, and using high performance cast seven-year vinyls it’s going to last for years. It won’t fade, peel or crack and is able to withstand the harshest elements with proper care.

If you want fleet signage, or just a single car signwritten, then ask as for a quote - we’re up for the challenge!

Clear Focus see thru one way vision signs

See thru window signs using Clear Focus one way vision material, are a great way for you to advertise your business on a car.

Seen here are two vehicles we have done recently, both with excellent results.

In fact, Soozie, from Soozie’s Number Crunching, as seen on the Holden Commodore, has received thousands of dollars worth of work from her Clear Focus see-thru window sign.

“One client saw me while sitting in traffic, and rang the number on my sign. So far, they have put through over $20,000 worth of work. I’m very impressed, and would highly recommend it to anyone.”

So there you go. Perth Graphics Centre’s sign solutions really do work. For your obligation-free quote, head to our contact page and tell us what you require.

One Way Vision - See through window signs

Signage that can be see through has heaps of advantages. For example, it maintains your privacy, cuts down glare and still allows you to see what’s going on outside. That’s why we are often asked to produce one way vision graphics which have tiny holes to allow it be a see through sign.

Avon Truffle Company asked us to make a one way vision sign for the back window of its Great Wall X240 SUV. You can see from the photo above that they still have complete rearward vision, whereas the top photo shows how it looks from the outside.

See through window graphics can be used for offices, cars, buses, or any application in which you need to see out, but still want your graphics to be seen.

Contact us for further information or to discuss any options for one way vision signage.

Life-size Cardboard Cutouts

You may know these guys as George and Gary from a hit reality TV cooking show. No, we didn’t have them in our office, but we did produce these cardboard cutouts for Zesti Woodfired Ovens.

If you need a character made into a cardboard cutout (well, technically a plastic cutout) at life size, then we can help.

From one off to several hundred, as long as the photo is crisp, we can trick your eyes into believing that your favourite personality is really sitting in your office.

Give us a call and speak to our friendly staff about your life-sized cardboard cutout needs.

Fascia Signage - Handcrafters House

Our client, Handcrafters House in Midland WA needed a sign on their fascia but the deadline was quite tight. Rather than us tell the story, we thought it better to post the unedited Testimonial supplied by the owner, Michelle:

“Recently I purchased a new premises for my patchwork & quilting business in Midland. The fascias on this building are huge and I wasn’t really sure where to start.

I found Perth Graphics Centre online through the Yellow Pages and emailed them to which they replied first thing the following morning. (Note to self - prompt and professional). A day or so later Tony and I were standing out the front of my shop measuring the signage area and discussing what would be needed.

As I dabble in a bit of graphic design I wanted to design my own signage, which was not a problem for Perth Graphics. After a lot of emails back and forth, due mainly to my indecision on colour, design, size and placement (after all I wanted it to be perfect) we came to the final product which was installed less than a week later! All of this happened in the weeks leading up to Christmas, one of the most busiest times of the year.

I was so impressed with Tony & Clare’s team at Perth Graphics that I offered to write to this testimonial. The quality of their work, their professionalism and their patience with my ever changing mind is second to none. And now my artwork sits proudly above my shop for all to see! Thank you Perth Graphics!”

Thankyou Michelle. We appreciate the business too! Just a side note… Whilst this sign was being installed, we had one gentleman approach us and ask where Handcrafters House had shifted to. He saw the sign and pulled in off the street to come and see what Handcrafters House had to offer! Proof positive that good signage really does work.”

Metal Signs on shopfronts - how to transform your look

Often the quickest way to give your shopfront a lift is to freshen it up with new signage. Old signs can look tired, and give off a negative impression. However with bright digital print, and new metal signs, you can transform the look of your shop and make it much more appealing.

Have a look at the Kebab King Van we renewed before the 2009 Perth Royal Show. Now it draws people in, with its eye catching graphics. Our team of professional in house designers spent time with the client, Snax Catering, and came up with a new image for this previously tired looking van.

If you would like a consultant to come out and discuss new signage for your business, head to our contact page, or e-mail us at info@pgc.com.au

Magnetic Signs or Car Magnets - a cheap alternative to vehicle signage

We often get asked if we make magnetic signs for cars - the answer is simple. Yes! These car magnetics are a great alternative to stickers, and offer a temporary branding for while you’re on the job.

Made from a durable, vehicle grade magnetic, these signs can be done in full colour, or just one colour if required. The standard size is 600mm x 300mm, and they’re usually done in pairs.
