Signage projects are delayed by incomplete artwork far more often than by anything that happens in production. Here's what we typically need before a job can move forward.

Vector files for logos and text

Vector formats — AI, EPS, vector PDF — scale to any size without losing quality, which matters for cutting letters, engraving or large-format production. A logo pulled from a website or a low-resolution JPEG usually isn't usable as-is.

Confirmed brand colours

Pantone references, if you have them, take the guesswork out of colour matching. Without them, we'll work from your existing signage or materials, but a confirmed reference avoids back-and-forth later in the project.

Accurate site measurements

Even a rough set of measurements and photos of the installation site helps us size the design correctly and flag any issues — an obstruction, an unusual wall material, limited access — before production rather than during installation.

Any approvals or guidelines that apply

If a landlord, mall or authority has signage guidelines, share these early. Designing around them from the outset avoids a design that has to be reworked after approval is sought.

One person to confirm sign-off

Projects move faster when one person is confirming approvals, rather than artwork going back and forth between several stakeholders. It's worth agreeing this internally before the project starts.
