Design
The design process is a crucial step in creating eye-catching and impactful vehicle and signage graphics that capture the attention of potential customers. It all starts with a consultation to help us understand your branding, marketing objectives, and specific requirements. This initial discussion helps in developing a clear brief that guides the design process.
Our designers are seeking your assistance to kickstart your design project. We kindly request you to pick a vehicle livery or signage option and inform us of your budget, so that they can create a design that meets your expectations. If you browse through our galleries, you will find a wide range of signs to cater to your needs. Our vehicle graphics offer four options: vinyl lettering, insert panels, half-wrap, and full-wrap.
Once the brief and budget are established, the next step is to create the design concept. This involves using specialised design software to produce 2D and 3D mockups of the graphics, taking into consideration the shape and size of the vehicle, as well as any existing branding elements. The design must be visually appealing, legible, and in line with the client’s brand identity. It may include elements such as logos, images, text, and other graphical elements that convey the desired message.
We allow for fine-tuning and adjustments to be made based on your feedback before we manufacture. Once the final design is approved, it is prepared for manufacture taking into consideration factors such as vinyl type, printing techniques, and application methods.
Manufacture
The manufacturing process plays a crucial role in producing high-quality graphics that are durable and visually appealing. It all begins with selecting the right materials for the job – This includes premium vinyl films in various colours, finishes, and textures that are suitable for the specific application on vehicles. The vinyl may be printed using advanced digital printing techniques that ensure crisp and vibrant graphics that are resistant to fading and peeling.
Once the materials are selected, the manufacturing process involves precise cutting and weeding of the vinyl to create the desired design elements. This requires using specialised equipment such as plotter cutters and weeding tools to accurately cut through the vinyl and remove excess material. The graphics are then transferred onto transfer tape, which acts as a carrier to apply the design to the vehicle.

Install
Once the surface is prepared, the graphics are carefully positioned and applied using professional installation techniques. This may involve using a combination of tools such as squeegees, heat guns, and measuring devices to accurately align and position the graphics on the vehicle. Skilled installers pay close attention to factors such as spacing, alignment, and tension to ensure that the graphics are applied smoothly and without any air bubbles or wrinkles.
In some cases, complex graphics may require the installation process to be carried out in multiple stages or layers. This requires careful planning and precise application techniques to ensure that each layer is aligned and applied accurately, resulting in a seamless and professional finish. Once the graphics are fully applied, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that the graphics are securely adhered and meet the client’s expectations.
