Can you make te reo Māori and bilingual signs for schools and campuses?

Yes. We make bilingual school signs in NZ for early learning centres, kura, schools and tertiary campuses. Every macron is checked before anything is made, and we check the typeface displays macrons properly, because some fonts don't. The wording needs to come from the right people. At Te Matapihi we worked with Tihei [...]

Do you make braille and accessible signage for schools and campuses?

Yes. We make braille signs for schools, early learning centres, universities and polytechnics, using UV printed braille and raised lettering for room and facility signs. We also laser cut accessible icons and make accessible parking and wayfinding signs. Tactile signs go at 1200mm to 1600mm so students, staff and visitors who are blind [...]

How should school signs be designed so everyone can read them?

Good school sign design comes down to short words, strong contrast and one or two plain typefaces. Aim for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between text and background, and choose matte finishes so lights don't cause glare. As a guide, allow about 25mm of letter height for every 3 metres of [...]

Where should signs go on a school or campus?

Campus wayfinding signs work best where someone has to make a choice: the gate, the front door, corridor intersections, stairwells, car parks and the edge of the drop-off area. A sign that confirms the way at each of these points does more than a dozen signs in between. Start with the route every [...]

What signs does a school, early learning centre or campus need?

School signage requirements in NZ start with two legal ones. Schools and early learning centres must display no smoking and no vaping notices at or immediately inside every entrance, and at the outer entrance to every building or enclosed area on site. Buildings covered by the Building Code also need exit signs, which [...]

Do you need council consent for hospitality signage in New Zealand?

Often, yes, though it depends on your council, the size and type of sign, whether it's illuminated, and if the building is heritage listed. Rules differ from city to city, so what's fine in one town might need a permit in another. Its best practice to check what applies to your site at [...]

Can you install new signage without closing my hotel, cafe or restaurant?

Yes, that's the normal way we work in hospitality. We plan installation around your service hours, check-in times and quieter periods, so guests keep arriving and tables keep turning over while the job's underway. If part of the work needs to happen after hours or before opening, we build that into the schedule [...]

How quickly can you deliver signage before peak seasons in Queenstown and Wanaka?

The lakes region has two peak seasons rather than one, the summer holidays and the winter ski season, so we're used to helping businesses turn signage around before both rushes rather than just once a year. The busier the season ahead, the earlier it pays to get in touch, so we can lock [...]

Do you install signage in the smaller towns around Central Otago?

Yes, we regularly install signage throughout Clyde, Bannockburn, Tarras, Luggate, and Lake Hawea, alongside the bigger centres of Queenstown, Wanaka, and Alexandra. Central Otago has a lot of small, spread-out communities, wineries, orchards, and tourism operators tucked well outside the main towns, and covering them properly, is a big part of why the [...]
