All Your Questions Answered!

Welcome to our FAQs page! At Signs On Time, we’re dedicated to making your signage experience as smooth and straightforward as possible. Below, you’ll find answers to our most frequently asked questions, covering everything from customisation options to installation and design. Whether you’re new to signage or looking to explore specific services, these FAQs are here to help you make an informed choice.

  • The timeline for a vehicle wrap varies based on the size of the vehicle and the complexity of the design. Generally, a full wrap takes between 2 to 5 days. Our team will provide an estimated completion date when we begin, ensuring we meet your deadline without sacrificing quality.

  • PPF is a transparent, self-healing film that protects your vehicle’s paint from scratches, chips, and environmental damage. The film is applied to high-impact areas of your vehicle, such as the bonnet, bumper, and side mirrors, preserving the original paintwork while maintaining a pristine look. PPF is especially beneficial for new or high-value vehicles. PPF can be applied to the entire vehicle.

  • Absolutely! Our illuminated signs are fully customisable, allowing you to choose colours, fonts, and sizes to reflect your brand. We work closely with you during the design process to ensure your illuminated sign captures your business’s style and catches the eye both day and night.

  • Yes, our labels and stickers are designed to withstand outdoor conditions, making them waterproof, UV-resistant, and weatherproof. They are perfect for a variety of uses, from product packaging to outdoor promotions, and maintain their colour and quality over time.

  • ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) signs are durable and ideal for permanent outdoor signage, such as shopfronts and building signs, as they can withstand various weather conditions. Corflute signs, on the other hand, are lightweight, cost-effective, and typically used for temporary outdoor signage, such as event promotions or real estate signs.

    “We had Paul take care of our window signage and vehicle wrapping. The results were unbelievably good, the cars stand out so well, and they’re really eye-catching. We gave him the barest of instructions and brief and he turned it into something just magic. Using his artistic liberal license and produced something way better than we expected. Great value for money. Really easy to deal with, the process was seamless.”
