Product Overview
What This Product Is
Retail signage is a deadline business. The campaign date is fixed, the artwork arrives late, and the run splits across dozens of designs in small quantities each. What matters is a printer that can hold colour across versions and still hit the date.
We print signage, posters, tickets and bound retail collateral on 80 to 350 gsm gloss and matt art paper, offset paper, fancy paper and specialty stocks, in 1 to 5 or more colours. Offset runs at up to 170 line, 200 line or higher with FM staccato hybrid screening, silk screen covers special surfaces, and digital covers samples and short runs. Lead time on this line is 5 to 7 days, and 5 to 15 working days after file confirmation and deposit for larger jobs.
Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Line
Five To Seven Day Lead Time
Signage is quoted on a 5 to 7 day lead time, so a campaign date that moves does not automatically become a missed date.
Digital For Short Runs
Digital printing handles samples and small run versions without a plate cost per design.
FM Staccato Hybrid Screening
Offset at 170 line, 200 line or higher with FM staccato hybrid screening for higher definition and better colour.
Silk Screen For Special Surfaces
Silk screen printing covers cloth hardcover and other surfaces offset cannot hold.
Any Size Including Oversize
Any required size is available, large or small, with a recommended size list from Letter and A5 up to B2 and 12 by 18 inches.
Binding In House
Hardcover case binding, perfect binding, sewing, PUR, wire-o, spiral and special binding for bound retail collateral.

Problems It Solves
What It Fixes
Signage arriving after the campaign starts
A 5 to 7 day lead time on this line, with digital printing available for the versions that arrive last.
Colour drifting between versions
Colour is checked on press with an X-Rite densitometer, and FM staccato hybrid screening holds tone across the set.
Plate cost on dozens of small designs
Digital printing removes the per design plate cost on short run versions.
Sizes that do not fit the fixtures
Any size is available, so the ticket is cut to the rail rather than the rail being worked around.

Use Guide
Specifying It Well
- Send artwork at final trim size with bleed. Signage is often resized late, and rescaling a raster file after the fact costs sharpness.
- Choose the paper weight against the fixture. Anything hanging unsupported needs 250 gsm or heavier or it will curl within a day under store lighting.
- Keep one master colour reference across the campaign. Posters, tickets and shelf strips printed on different stocks will not match unless a single reference is agreed first.
- For price tickets, leave the price panel uncoated. Laminated and UV coated surfaces will not take a marker pen.
- Group all versions into one job. Splitting them across separate orders loses the shared setup and puts the colour match at risk.
