Making your business stand out.

Your shopfront is the face of your business. It is the first thing potential customers see and often what determines whether they step inside or walk past. That is why having well-designed, high-quality shopfront signage is so important. It’s more than just a name above your door; it’s a statement about what your business is, what it offers, and the customer experience people can expect when they walk through your doors.

What is shopfront signage?

Shopfront signage refers to all the visual elements that make up your store’s exterior identity. This can include anything from large fascia signs and window graphics to 3D lettering, A-frames, wall panels, and even door decals. Together, these elements form a cohesive, branded display that should attract attention and build recognition.

Every place is different, which is why shopfront signage solutions need to be tailored to the space, the surrounding environment, and your brand personality. Investing in professional signage ensures your business is seen, remembered, and trusted.

Types of shopfront signage

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for shopfront signage. A strong visual identity often combines a few key types of signs, with each type having a unique purpose and aesthetic. Some of the most common options include:

Aluminium Composite Panel (ACP) Signs

Durable and weather-resistant, ACP panels are a go-to choice for shop fascias and outdoor signage. They offer a sleek, modern look that can be custom printed with your logo, graphics, or full-colour designs using advanced digital printing technology. Aluminium composite panel signs are lightweight yet sturdy, making them perfect for long-term outdoor use.

Acrylic Signage

When you want a professional and polished finish, acrylic signage (plexiglass) is hard to beat. With their smooth, glossy surface, acrylic signage offers a premium look ideal for both interior and exterior branding. Acrylic can be printed directly, layered for a 3D effect, or used with standoff mounts for a floating appearance. They are an excellent choice for businesses that want signage that feels modern, sleek, and high-end.

Window Signage (Vinyl Graphics)

Window signage is a versatile tool to enhance your shop front. It employs self-adhesive vinyl for simple lettering and logo decals or full digitally printed vinyl with custom artwork. Solid vinyl offers clean branding and privacy strips, while digitally printed vinyl delivers vibrant, high-resolution graphics that catch attention and communicate your message clearly. Window signage helps make full use of your existing glass surfaces, adds personality, boosts visibility, and reinforces brand identity without permanent modifications.

A-Frame Signs

Ideal for footpath advertising, A-frame signs (or sandwich boards) are portable, cost-effective, and very versatile. Whether you're promoting a special, guiding customers to your entrance, or launching new products, A-frames are an excellent way to expand your shopfront presence beyond your windows and walls.

Corflute Signs

Corflute signs are a lightweight and cost-effective signage option suitable for short to medium-term applications. Made from corrugated polypropylene, they’re easy to mount, replace, and update, which makes them ideal for seasonal promotions, temporary branding, or new product announcements. Coreflute signs print beautifully using digital printing, allowing bright colours and clean graphics that stand out without a large investment. They’re a great way to add flexibility to your shop front signage without compromising on visual impact.

Bollard Signs (Corflute Bollard Covers)

Bollard covers, also known as corflute bollard covers, are a variation of corflute signs and provide a practical and eye-catching way to utilise the bollards outside your business for branding and promotion. Since corflute is waterproof and the signs are printed with UV-resistant ink, bollard signs withstand outdoor weather conditions well. Bollard covers allow you to expand your signage beyond your shopfront, drawing in the attention of pedestrians and traffic in car parks. Bollard signs are lightweight and easy to swap out, making them ideal for recurring campaigns or seasonal message changes.

One Way Vision Signage Window Film

One way vision signage window film is a signage solution that transforms your windows into promotional spaces while still allowing you to see out from inside. This perforated film sticks directly to glass, enabling sharp graphics that illuminate your shopfront and reinforce your branding without blocking natural light. It’s particularly beneficial for shops on busy streets, as it maximises visibility to passersby while maintaining privacy for those inside. One way vision signage window film helps create a striking, unified look across your shopfront, boosting visibility without needing structural changes.
