Large-format signage is an effective way for your business to grab attention and promote your brand or services to customers.

Large Bespoke Format Printing

With our in-house graphic designers, you can be as creative as you want. Create custom large-format signs made to suit your brand and space. From wall murals to cut-out signs and shaped panels, our bespoke large-format package allows you the freedom.

What Are Large Format Signs Made From?

Our large-format signs can be made from a wide range of materials, such as foam, acrylic, or PVC. While we can use any material, we specialise in the following large-format printing specialisms.

Large Format Vinyl Printing

Since our founding, we’ve had the most experience in large-format vinyl for indoor and outdoor use. We take high-quality digital design and print it right onto vinyl, which is usually found in promotional and wayfinding signs.

Large Format Fabric Printing

Banners, exhibitions, flags, or showroom displays usually use textured or soft fabrics that are easy to touch. We take your digital design and print it straight onto the fabric of your choice and any colour. Rest assured that our large-format fabric signs are high-quality and durable.

Large Format Aluminium Printing

Printed onto a self-adhesive film, which is then applied to a lightweight panel called an aluminium composite panel (ACM). This takes two aluminium sheets with a polythene filling in between. Large-format ACM printing is useful for both outdoor and indoor use as it’s durable and waterproof.

Can You Print Any Design?

Yes, while we can print almost any design, photo or logo you need, the image quality needs to be suitable for enlargement. But we can help with any optimisation or design changes if need be.

How Does Large Format Printing Work?

Large-format printing uses high-resolution digital printers designed for wider-format graphics.

Requiring specialised machinery, we use a range of tools and techniques to turn your digital artwork and design into eye-catching focal points. We then apply finishes and any mounts for finishing touches to keep it looking pristine.

How Big Can Large Format Signs Be?

Our large-format printing can print anything from 420mm to more than 3m and covers any length. While this is broad, we have the equipment to print at a scale that matches your needs.

Where Can Large Format Signs Be Installed?

How Long Do Large Format Signs Last?

Our large-format printing offers high-quality and durable signs that can last anywhere from 3 to 10 years. Of course, this depends on material and location, with outdoor large-format signs lasting 3-7 years and indoor signs lasting 5-10 years with proper care. If you need them removed or need any touch-ups, Lavastar can help.

How Do I Maintain Large Format Signs?

Proper care is vital to making sure your large format signage stays in good condition and lasts for years. Make sure you wipe clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaners, avoiding any harsh chemicals. Inspect regularly for any damage or wear and tear; if you need any help, let us know.
