Digitally Printed or Computer Cut Vinyl
Digital prints or computer cut vinyl can be applied to or mounted on:
Vehicles - Shopfronts - Lightboxes - Glass - Acrylic - Metal - Banners
Some Specialty Digital print services include:
Posters - Polypropelene - Canvas - One Way vision - Reflective - Wallpaper
Fabrication
We can fabricate frames, posts, pylon signs, lightboxes and nearly anything else you might need to turn that idea into reality.
Traditional Signwriting
We can traditionally signwrite onto virtually anything. Need an old sign touched up, or want to create a new one with a classic feel?
traditional Signwriting is also used commonly on large wall murals, where it's more cost effective than a print.
Promotional Materials
We can provide promotional items such as: Business Cards - Stationary - Brochures - Aboards - Pull-ups - Endurosigns
Teardrops - Flags & much more!
In short, we can find a solution to virtually any signage requirement you have, whether it's a common sign or one-off solution.
We tailor our signs to suit the individual needs of each client.
Digital Printing
Need to include photographs into your sign or banner, we have the technology to do it.We have a variety of materials to print on from photo quality paper to outdoor banner or fine canvas painting material.
No matter what kind of sign you need, there's no match for the promotional value of full-colour digital graphics ...and no better place to get them than at the Signdoctor.
Our digital printers offer the latest technologies coupled to the most cost effective printing methods using our solvent based ink printers or our UV curable flatbed, capable of printing directly onto almost any flat surface under 50mm in thickness.
When it comes to the materials we use for digital printing, only the finest will do. Although more expensive than other available options, they have far superior adhesive qualities and better ink penetration. This results in richer colour saturation and longer outdoor life. For additional durability exterior prints are covered with a UV laminate (unless specified). This protects against premature UV fading, helps reduce scuff marks, assists in graffiti removal and makes the surfaces easier to clean.
Our experience and choices of media allow us to provide a written warranty for the life of the print, something not many other signwriters or print shops will do.
Have a look at Our Guarantee for details
Just bring us your design, photo or message, and we’ll duplicate it according to your exact specifications. Our digital imaging process can transfer your image to any number of signs or specialty items with speed, quality and full-colour, allowing you to create an eye-catching effect that is sure to grab attention.
Computer Cut Lettering and Graphics
Vinyl lettering is the perfect choice for use in many sign projects.It can be successfully adhered to virtually any smooth surface, including sign panels, A-boards, banners, boats, vehicles, windows and storefronts.
The vinyl we use is renowned for its superior adhesive and anti-peeling qualities. Vinyl generally bonds well onto any surface that is painted with a smooth, glossy enamel, automotive acrylic or two-pack finish. It will also adhere well to glass, acrylics, painted wood and painted metals.
Vinyl lettering does NOT adhere to cement, raw timber, oxidized or faded paint, rubber, bare metals and oily surfaces.
Traditional Signwriting
Yes, we still hand signwrite!As computers and digital printing have become increasingly popular, this age old traditional skill still has a place in our company. As technology races ahead there is still and always will be a place for traditional hand crafted signs.
In some instances, such as signwriting a large sign or mural onto a brick wall or corrugated building, hand-painted lettering is simply the most successful and cost-effective method of completing the project and achieving outstanding results.
3D Lettering
The Sign Doctor offers products and services in the field of 3D and cut out letter signage for standard and illuminated communications. Brand differentiation is achieved by combining different materials and effects including enhanced contrast, shadows, halo and neon-like effects. Not only are our processes cost effective, they also result in sign panels that project quality with a high visual impact.LED Signage
LED is the latest in illuminated signage unlike costly neon signs, LED products are extremely robust, long lasting and completely waterproof. They can be used in all manners of applications and are extremely energy efficient.Substrates
Our aim is to provide you with the best value. To achieve this we only use top quality materials that are more durable and longer lasting than cheaper alternatives. This is especially necessary for costal regions and outdoors where the materials are exposed to salt air and UV radiation. Using superior quality materials in the long term will prevent premature ageing and more frequent replacement periods.Acrylic
Acrylic is also known by the brand name Plexiglas or Perspex. Acrylic is a substrate with a glossy finish and is perfect for a sophisticated, high-tech look. It’s an excellent product for the customer who desires a high quality finish. Because of it's glossy nature acrylic signs can be subject to glare problems. It is susceptible to scratching easily and can shatter or chip upon impact.
Alpolic
Alpolic is a polyethylene composite sheet with an aluminium top cover. It is gloss on one side and matt on the other. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This lightweight and rust-resistant substrate is one of the most rugged sign materials available. It is easily machined and cut and can be successfully bent to produce a neat and attractive fold.
Signwhite
Signwhite is made from Colorbond steel, and is well-suited for short or long-term outdoor usage. The substrate is relatively lightweight, weather-resistant, and rust-resistant.
Corflute
Corflute is an extremely lightweight and versatile plastic sheeting. It is an excellent substitute for poster board or cardboard as it is more durable and versatile. Its surface is not affected by most oils, solvents or water, so it may also be used outdoors. We use 5mm cross grain corflute for its greater strength to weight ratio and superior crease resistance
The Signdoctor uses a variety of other substrates for special needs, such as polycarbonate panel, MDF, weathertex and common metal plates such as aluminium & stainless steel.
Our experts will always have the right solution for your needs.
