Hiring a print specialized designer for signage projects is crucial to ensuring results. We think of all the little things; are your colours correct for print? Pulling colours from digital optimized files will cause your colours to be off because printers and monitors work totally differently. On top of that – print shops require specific formatting, whether it’s colour information, bleeds (the colour going to the edge of a design), advice on materials, etc., and there’s a sliding scale of factors such as budget, desired outcome, location, and more that need to be considered.
Print designs including indoor signage, outdoor signage, and storefront signage absolutely do not need to be a one-off investment. Your vector (print design) files can be repurposed and scaled into as many different potential canvases as you can imagine – and that’s also the job of a good print designer is to help you see the possibilities. The original Kiss My Pans signage is shown in the photographs above, but we’ve also visualized scaling the business to a mall setting or scaling the signage to a box light option. The possibilities are truly infinite with the right team behind you.
Print and manufacture is not something you want to penny pinch on. Effectively, the most “real” form of your brand is the one that people get to actually interact with in the physical world. That’s why sourcing a good printer is going to be key for the right impression you want to make with your customers. The difference between the cheapest option and a higher financial investment could result in the difference between streaky, incorrect looking colours, to solid, vibrant and colour accurate tones. The specialization of your print house can also open up a realm of opportunity – from a variety of materials to use, to a variety of styles (such as embossing, debossing, or mixing materials), to including elements such as lighting. You know when you see or touch something and go “Wow, this is nice.” – that’s what you want to provide to your audience.
