Catch Those Pedestrians

Get Noticed and Boost Foot Traffic

Footpath signs, also known as pavement signs, are an essential tool for businesses looking to attract more customers. Placed right in the path of potential customers, these signs offer an easy, effective way to direct attention to your business, promotions, or brand.

Footpath Sign Considerations

Design and Content

These signs are designed for maximum ‘impact’. They work best by having a short but powerful message to capture interest quickly. Use complementary, brand colours to make a sign pop and promote company identity.

Wind

In an area that experiences particularly strong winds, a footpath sign is not always a viable option. The wind has the potential to uplift even the most carefully designed and weighted footpath sign.

In especially windy locations, it may be unwise to have them at all. In this case please chat to our staff who will be able to advise on possible safer alternatives.

Regulations

Certain Councils, eg Wellington,  have legislation relating to pavement signage and a licence needs to be obtained before it is displayed. We always recommend checking council rules before making your order.

Fabricating Footpath Signage

Footpath Sign Unit

There are a number of different footpath signs available and they can be fabricated from wood, metal ACM or a mixture of all.  The majority we supply consist of a weighted polyethene base with a 4mm ACM graphic panel inserted into it.

Image Panel

The ACM panel can be double or single-sided. The image on the panel can be created using cut vinyl graphics, digitally printed vinyl or for extra protection, we can print directly to substrate and coat the panel with a 2-pack clear coating. This method means that any graphics can be used with no issues relating to peeling or delaminating.

Custom Options

We can use our computer-controlled profile cutting equipment to custom shape the advertising board, and ensure that your footpath sign sis unique.

In addition, we can incorporate whiteboard or blackboard inserts or even attach slide tracks to the surface of the sign to allow for the inclusion of interchangeable panels if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are footpath signs weatherproof?2024-08-20T12:50:02+12:00

Yes, our footpath signs are made from durable materials designed to withstand rain, wind, and sunlight, ensuring they remain effective year-round. Some signs are more durable than others, please chat with us so that we can advise you of the best option for your situation. We always recommend bringing any portable signage inside during extreme weather events.

Do I need council permission to place a footpath sign outside my business?2024-08-20T12:46:53+12:00

In most cases, you’ll need to check with your local council to ensure compliance with their regulations. Each council in New Zealand has different rules about the types of advertising allowed on the curb side and specific regulations for where signs must be placed.

Can Signbiz manage a full business signage fit-out?2026-03-04T13:43:37+13:00

Yes! Full signage fit-outs are one of our specialities.

We have completed large-scale fit-outs for major New Zealand retailers and businesses including Pak n Save, New World, Liquorland, Foursquare, Total Energies, and Weber to name a few, managing everything from initial design through to manufacture and installation across multiple locations.

What is the best signage for a small business in New Zealand?2026-03-04T12:41:16+13:00

The best signage for a small New Zealand business depends on your location, budget, and goals, but the highest impact options for most small businesses are external fascia signage that clearly identifies your premises, window graphics that communicate your brand and opening hours, and a vehicle wrap if you operate a company vehicle. These three elements cover your physical location, your storefront, and your mobile presence.

Once those are covered additional elements can be added like business cards and stationery, footpath signage or attention grabbing options like promotional flags.

At Signbiz we work with small businesses across New Zealand every day and are happy to advise on the most cost-effective combination of signage for your specific situation. A free consultation with your nearest branch is a great place to start.
