The questions we get asked most, about sizing, materials, artwork files, turnaround and delivery.
Standard turnaround at Event Signs is 2 to 3 business days to dispatch from artwork approval. Everything is printed and cut in-house in Ravenhall, Melbourne, and shipped Australia-wide.
What are 3D builds made from?
Often lightweight honeycomb board, which is strong, recyclable and easy to transport, plus other materials to suit the design.
Can you build large freestanding structures?
Yes. We engineer freestanding letters, shapes and sculptural pieces that stand on their own.
Do you deliver and install 3D builds?
Yes, on request. Most orders ship direct to you, or to your venue if you prefer. Installation is available across Melbourne and can be arranged interstate, quoted separately on top of the job.
What is acrylic printing?
Acrylic printing is full-colour printing onto or behind an acrylic panel, which is then cut to shape, for a premium, durable sign or display.
What thickness of acrylic do you offer?
We offer a range of thicknesses depending on the size and use of the sign. We'll recommend the right one for your job.
Can you cut acrylic to a custom shape?
Yes. We cut acrylic to any custom shape in-house in Melbourne.
Do you ship acrylic signs Australia-wide?
Yes. Event Signs prints in Melbourne and ships Australia-wide.
How much does a custom backdrop cost?
Backdrops are priced by size and material. Request a quote for exact pricing.
Board or fabric — which is better?
Rigid board gives the crispest finish; fabric is lighter, packs down small and travels well. We recommend based on your use.
Do you ship backdrops Australia-wide?
Yes. Event Signs prints in Melbourne and ships Australia-wide.
Do you install activations on site?
Yes, on request. Most orders ship direct to you, or to your venue if you prefer. Installation is available across Melbourne and can be arranged interstate, quoted separately on top of the job.
Can you work to our brand guidelines and deadline?
Yes. We build to brief, to your brand guidelines, and to your deadline.
Do you handle large national rollouts?
Yes. We produce single sites through to multi-site rollouts from our Melbourne floor.
How much do custom cutouts cost?
Cutouts are priced by size and material. Request a quote with your size and design for exact pricing.
Can you make a life-size cutout from my photo?
Yes. Send us a high-resolution photo and we print and cut it to shape.
What material are cutouts made from?
Usually foam board or PVC, cut to shape. We recommend the best option for indoor or outdoor use.
Do you ship cutouts Australia-wide?
Yes. Event Signs prints in Melbourne and ships Australia-wide.
What is the difference between a vinyl and a mesh banner?
A vinyl banner is a solid printed sheet. A mesh banner is perforated so wind passes through it rather than pushing against it. Use vinyl indoors or on a solid wall, and mesh outdoors or anywhere it is fixed to a fence.
What size is a standard pull-up banner?
Most pull-up banners are 850mm or 1000mm wide and around 2 metres tall once extended. The base and pole are included, so it stands on its own and packs back into a carry bag between events.
How long does it take to print event banners?
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days to dispatch from artwork approval. Banners are printed and finished in-house in Melbourne, so urgent jobs can sometimes move faster. Confirm your event date when you enquire.
Can event banners be used outdoors?
Yes, with the right material. Mesh banners and outdoor-rated vinyl handle weather and wind. Solid vinyl fixed to a fence in an exposed spot will catch wind like a sail, so tell us where the banner is going before we specify it.
Do you print banners to an expo specification?
Yes. Send the venue or organiser spec sheet with your enquiry and we will print to those exact dimensions and finishing requirements rather than to a generic size.
How much does event signage cost in Melbourne?
Price depends on size, material, quantity and finish. A pull-up banner and a custom-cut acrylic sign sit at very different points. Send your sizes and quantities and we will quote exactly rather than give you a range that turns out to be wrong.
How quickly can you print event signage?
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 business days to dispatch from artwork approval. Because printing and cutting happen in-house we can sometimes move faster on urgent jobs. Tell us your event date when you enquire and we will confirm what is achievable.
