How to Order Custom Signs Online in New Zealand
Ordering custom signage doesn’t have to involve a long consultation process.
For straightforward projects, online sign printing makes it possible to choose your specifications, upload your artwork and place your order from wherever you are in New Zealand.
Here’s how the process works.
Step 1: Decide What the Sign Is For
Start with the application.
Are you ordering:
- A business sign?
- Construction signage?
- Real estate signage?
- Event signage?
- Promotional signage?
- Directional signage?
- Property signage?
Knowing the purpose makes selecting the right material much easier.
Step 2: Choose Your Material
Your material should match the application.
For example:
ACM
A rigid option suited to permanent-looking signage.
Corflute
Lightweight and economical for temporary signage, events, property marketing and construction applications.
PVC
Useful for applications where a lightweight rigid plastic sign is appropriate.
Vinyl
Ideal for adhesive graphics and stickers.
Before ordering, check the specifications of the particular product you’re purchasing.
Step 3: Choose Your Size
Enter the dimensions required for your project.
If you’re replacing an existing sign, measuring the existing sign is a good starting point.
If you’re ordering a new sign, consider the available installation area and viewing distance.
Step 4: Prepare Your Artwork
Good artwork makes a significant difference to the final result.
Ideally, provide:
- High-resolution artwork
- Correct dimensions
- Vector artwork where available
- Clearly defined colours
- Fonts converted to outlines where appropriate
- Correct bleed where required
If you don’t have professional design software, don’t worry.
The most important thing is to provide artwork at the best quality available and follow the printer’s artwork requirements.
Step 5: Upload Your Artwork
This is one of the biggest advantages of online sign printing.
Instead of emailing files back and forth, you can upload your artwork with your order.
Make sure you upload the correct final file.
Before submitting, check:
- Spelling
- Phone number
- Website address
- Logo
- Colours
- Dimensions
- Orientation
Step 6: Review Your Order
Before checkout, check every specification.
A useful checklist is:
Material ✓
Width ✓
Height ✓
Quantity ✓
Artwork ✓
Finishing options ✓
Delivery details ✓
Step 7: Place Your Order
Once everything looks correct, complete your order.
Your sign can then move into production according to the product’s stated production and delivery timeframe.
Why Order Signs Online?
Online ordering can make the process easier for customers who already know what they need.
It can also make repeat ordering particularly convenient.
For example, a construction company may need the same site sign repeatedly.
A property manager might order several property signs throughout the year.
A tradesperson may need additional signs whenever they add a new vehicle or project.
Online ordering makes repeat purchases much simpler.
