What Can I Use Custom-Made Signs For?

Flexible, durable and great for getting your message spotted – there’s almost no limit to the uses of custom-made signs. With instantprint, create your own signs for any purpose and location – whether it’s indoor, outdoor or even on the move.

  • Information: Do you have something to say? From safety signage to simply telling the world your business is here, signs are a great way to communicate with people.
  • Promotional: Got a seasonal sale on? Looking to advertise an exciting new product line to customers? Hoping to make a striking impression at a trade event/exhibition? Nothing can say it faster and more effectively than a custom sign.

How Can Personalised Signs Help My Business?

Using high-quality outdoor signs to advertise your business can often be the first impression you make on potential customers – so it’s really important that the design of your business or shop signs reflect the quality of products or services you offer.

Like banners , good signage can be the silent salesperson of your business. Exterior signage has the power to capture the focus of passers-by. Meanwhile, indoor signage won’t just help your customers to find what they’re looking for, it can boost those all-important impulse sales too.

But, most important of all, custom signs have the power to get your brand out there. Whether it’s bespoke event signage to stand out from the rest at a trade show or something stunning to sit in a prominent roadside location, your sign lets people know who you are and what you do.

How to Set Your Sign Artwork Up for Print

It’s our aim in life (seriously) to make sure you can design and print signs online easily – so we’ve made the whole process really simple. Here’s a little checklist to help make sure you’ve set your artwork up correctly:

  1. Size – You’ve set the size up to the correct size of the sign you want
  2. Colour – If possible, you’ve set your colour mode of your preferred design program to CMYK for printing
  3. Bleed and safety – You’ve added an extra 3mm around the edge as a bleed area so there are no unexpected white lines after we’ve trimmed your sign down to size and you’ve got an additional 3mm safety zone inside your document to avoid important info getting trimmed
  4. Resolution –For high-quality printing, we recommend using high resolution images and logos, and saving your file with a resolution of at least 300dpi
  5. Fonts – We’ll manually check your design to make sure it prints perfectly, so flatten your fonts by saving your artwork as a JPEG or PDF before sending it to us so none of the fonts change or move about when we open it up
  6. Holes – Remember that some of our signs have pre-drilled holes in the corners, meaning it’s a good idea to keep important information away from the corners

Top 5 Business Sign Design Tips

Custom signs for your business are fantastic for promoting your store, giving directions and even for health and safety signage – and their size means you can get really creative with your design. Here are our top tips!

  • Use big, bold fonts – Signs are used to attract attention from a distance, so it’s important that the reader can actually read your message. So don’t be scared to ramp up your font size!

Design Top Tips - Use big, bold fonts.png

  • Make sure text is clear – Speaking of fonts, it’s a good idea to choose a blocky sans serif font. If it makes it even clearer, see what your sign looks like with all capital letters!

Design Top Tips - Make sure text is clear.png

  • Use bright colours – We offer full colour printing on all of our signs, so choose something that stands out, whether that’s your brand colours, a yellow hazard sign or bright red for a sales promotion.

Design Top Tips - Use bright colours.png

  • Be mindful of your background – Where is your sign going to sit? Is it by some bushes on a fence? If so, avoid green), don’t use white if your sign is going on a white wall, etc. If you want it to stand out, pick a contrasting colour to your background.

Design Top Tips - Be mindful of your background.png

  • Pick your sides – Some of our signs, like correx, can be printed double sided. This is useful for when you can see both sides of a sign, like an estate agent board. If you can, add an extra side so you’re covered from all angles.

Design Top Tips - Pick your sides.png

What Information Should I Include on My Sign?

Great business signs can tell people a lot about what you’re offering without actually including a huge amount. After all, pictures can tell a thousand words – so why not consider using a logo or a drawing to represent what your brand stands for?

It’s also important to get the use of colours right. Not only do you want to make sure you stand out, you’ll want to make sure that passers-by pay attention to any text or imagery you’re using.

And what about the text? Well, it’s essential to include what your business does or exactly what you want someone to get from your sign. Research has shown that 75% of people driving down the street pick out a key word from a sign the first time they pass it. So, make sure they do!

You might also want to consider including a catchy slogan, contact details and a call-to-action.
