Builder’s signs

Do you have a building site on which you’d like to advertise your business? Is there a vacant block on which you’re going to build, and you have a need for signs? Then Perth Graphics Centre can help.

Our builder’s signs come in all sizes and can be made from corflute, colourbond, signwhite, aluminium composite or anything else that will stand up to the elements.

A builder’s sign allows you to make use of your space and get your business name out there and seen by all the passers-by. If you would like a quote on a builder’s sign, then head to our contact page and send us an email.

Banner signs

Do you have a sign that you need to do on a budget? Do you have a large area to cover but don’t want to paint? Then perhaps banner signs from Perth Graphics Centre may be what you need.

Banner signs are eye-catching but affordable alternatives to the more expensive metal signs, and the beauty is there are no unsightly joins. Also known as sailtrack skins, banner signs are a vinyl banner skin attached using an aluminium extrusion. The skin is then stretched extremely tight, making it as flat as a drum. The result is a large sign for little cost.

If you would like a quote on banner signs, Perth Graphics Centre would be more than happy to help. Head to our contact page today.

Long lasting stickers

To make long lasting stickers, you need to follow several steps. Firstly, you need the right kind of sticker material, or self-adhesive vinyl as we call it in the industry. Secondly, you need to use high quality inks which will bite into the vinyl - solvent-based inks are the best for this. Next is the most crucial step - outgassing.

Seen above, outgassing is simply letting the solvents “outgas” from the vinyl. During the normal drying phase of the inks most of the solvent evaporates, but some still remains. Outgassing is done by hanging the vinyl vertically, and as the solvents are heavier-than-air, they fall out of the vinyl over time. Perth Graphics Centre outgasses its prints for 72 hours to ensure they are completely solvent-free. This restores the vinyl to its original state and prevents it from curling up at the edges or from lifting over time.

This is particularly critical when following up with the final step - overlaminating. You see, if a print still has solvent in it and then gets overlaminated with a protective film, it will trap the solvents inside and that can cause bubbling or peeling later down the track.

So there you have it: Perth Graphics Centre’s guide to producing the longest lasting stickers possible. These steps are followed meticulously every time we produce stickers that need to last. You can be confident that stickers you purchase from Perth Graphics Centre will stand the test of time.

Building site signs

More and more, we’re producing builder’s site signs. These are small signs made from corflute which show all the details of a builder, their registration number and any safety warnings associated with that site.

Building site signs allow a builder to display all relevant information in condensed format and we can show you exactly how to set them up if required. Each building site sign can be personalised, or individualised, or you can have a generic site sign that you can write on with permanent marker to show the lot number, etc.

Because the site signs are made from corflute, they’re light-weight and easy to transport from site to site. They’re also cheap to replace if they get damaged. If you’re a builder and you need builder’s site signs, then head to our contact page and ask for a quote - we’re sure you’ll be impressed.

Roll up banners

More Perth businesses are utilising roll up banners, and Perth Graphics Centre is continuing to astound with its quick turnaround, great pricing and extremely high quality.

Even international customers are turning to Perth Graphics Centre for their roll up banners - Singapore Airlines is a case in point.

Singapore Airlines required two high-end roll up banners for their international terminal check-in lines in Perth, to differentiate between economy passengers and business/first passengers. PGC was happy to oblige.

2012: A big year for signs in Perth

Perth Graphics Centre kicks off 2012 with a bang: New equipment, a revised workspace and more firepower to get your signs made quickly.

As you can see above, we’ve redone our production area to have a cleaner, more streamlined look. The walls have be repainted grey to ensure colour matching is as accurate as possible. Our new flat-bed printer will be commissioned in a few weeks’ time and will ensure quality, speed and accuracy are unrivalled. In addition we’ve strengthened our supplier relationships to ensure we’re always in stock with the highest quality materials to make your signs last as long as possible.

Our premises were completely stripped out of all the old carpet and the floor thoroughly cleaned and prepped. Then we’ve layed in a new industrial-grade lino to make the whole place look up to scratch. The result is the staff are happier and we’re enthusiastic about making 2012 the busiest year we’ve ever had.

If you’re in Perth and you need signs, then come in and see us at our Malaga office, or simply head to our contact page. We look forward to helping you through 2012 and beyond.

Wall signs

Wall signs take many forms and use many different materials. You can have corflute wall signs, acrylic wall signs, foam PVC wall signs, posters and even digital wallpaper.

It all depends on what you want to display on your wall. If you have an idea you have in mind, then feel free to run it past us. We’ll be able to advise you on the best way to go about it. Most commonly, wall signs are done using colorbond or aluminium composite panel.

You can use clear acrylic as well (as shown above) or even frosted acrylic. There are so many options that sometimes it seems confusing. However with our professional staff to guide you, you can be assured of the best possible wall signs.

Give us a call and ask for a quote on any signs you need.

Perspex Signs

We’re often asked to produce perspex signs, or acrylic signs, so Perth Graphics Centre’s goal is to turn these around quickly and with high quality graphics. We can print full colour or just have one colour onto your perspex signs, ensuring your logo is reproduced accurately.

We can even do 3D routed perspex letters as seen in the sign above. The perspex was overlaid with a charcoal metallic vinyl giving a beautiful sparkly effect. The reason for this is perspex isn’t produced in charcoal, so we endeavour to do our best to listen to the customer’s request and oblige.

If you have perspex signs you require or any signs at all, then give us a call to ask for a quote. Perth Graphics Centre will make your signs look their best.

Aluminium Composite Signs

If you’re after metal signs, Perth Graphics Centre can help using aluminium composite panel. These signs are light weight, yet very strong and durable.

The aluminium composite signs shown here are one of Perth Graphics Centre’s creations for Morley Coventry Markets. The specification was aluminium composite panel (two sheets of aluminium with a polythene core sandwiched between) with digital print on the face and 3D routed acrylic lettering.

It makes for a sign which has excellent presence, looks great and jumps out at you. For attention grabbing signs, head to our contact page and ask for a quote.

A-frame Signs

A-frame signs are a stable yet portable solution to having a sign out the front of your premises.

A-frame signs are sturdy because they’re made from galvanised powdercoated metal, with colorbond faces, so they won’t blow over in the wind, yet are light enough so your staff can move them if necessary. A-frame signs are also durable, being made from outdoor grade materials. You can have vinyl-cut lettering, full colour signs or any combination of th two.

We also can make blackboard A-frames and whiteboard A-frames where the faces of the A-frame signs are covered in blackboard or whiteboard vinyl. If you need an A-frame for your Perth business, then head to our contact page and ask for a quote.
