Signbiz National Coverage Map

Nationwide Service

One signage partner wherever you welcome guests

Signbiz operates 11 branches with coverage from Northland to Invercargill.

If you’re running a single cafe or a hotel group with sites in three cities, you get the same team, the same brand files and the same point of contact wherever the work happens.

That matters more in hospitality than most industries: a hotel group rebranding across multiple properties needs colours, materials and finishes to match exactly from one city to the next, not “close enough”.

Because Signbiz is one company and not a franchise, that consistency is built in.

Ideas to help plan your venue’s signage

Inspiration from hospitality venues around the world that we can create right here in New Zealand

From boutique hotel lobbies to roadside motels, cafe fit-outs to full hotel rebrands, we can take a look you love from anywhere and work out how to build it here, in materials that hold up to Kiwi weather and Kiwi guest traffic.

If you’ve got reference photos, a brand guideline document, or just a Pinterest board, that’s a great place to start the conversation.

Our Process

A simple, supportive approach for hotels, cafes and hospitality groups

Hospitality venues don’t get to shut down while signage goes in. Guests are checking in, tables are turning over, and the building has to keep working the whole time. Our process is built around that.

One Point of Contact from Start to Finish

One project manager runs your job from first site visit to final install, even if the work spans multiple venues or cities. That’s the advantage of Signbiz being one company, not a franchise: our own installers, our own crews, with no work passed between separate businesses along the way.

Your Venue Stays Open While We Work

We plan installs around your service hours, quiet periods and guest flow, so signage goes in with minimal disruption to check-ins, service or trade. Every job is backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Hotel & Cafe Signage:

Tips and Tricks

Simple ways to make your venue easy to find, and hard to forget

Get the exterior right first

Your building sign and pylon are doing their job before a guest ever walks in the door. Illuminated signage extends that visibility into the evening, when hotels and hospitality venues do a lot of their trade.

Guide guests before they get lost

Every question a guest has to ask at the front desk is a sign that’s missing. Clear wayfinding, room numbers and lift signage cut down on lost guests and free up your staff for the things that actually need a person.

Keep the brand consistent from car park to coaster

Guests notice when a venue’s signage, menus, uniforms and print don’t quite match. Getting one supplier to hold your brand files across every touchpoint, exterior signage through to the coasters on the tables, is what makes a venue feel finished rather than assembled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need council consent for hospitality signage in New Zealand?2026-08-25T17:22:24+12:00
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 the survey stage, so you know upfront rather than finding out after signage is made.
Can you install new signage without closing my hotel, cafe or restaurant?2026-08-25T11:38:09+12:00
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 instead of asking you to close.
Do you make braille and accessible signage for hospitality venues?2026-08-25T11:34:46+12:00

Yes. We produce UV printed braille for room numbers and facility signage, laser cut accessible icons, and accessible car park and wayfinding signage that meets compliance requirements.
