Creating an engaging, productive workplace is about more than desks and décor. Today’s businesses are using workplace graphics, office wall graphics and large format printing to create inspiring environments that improve employee experience, reinforce brand values and leave a lasting impression on visitors.

From branded feature walls and window graphics to floor vinyls and fabric displays, professionally designed workplace graphics offer a cost-effective way to transform an office without the disruption of a major refurbishment.

Why Workplace Graphics Matter

The design of a workplace has a direct impact on how employees and visitors experience your business. A well designed environment can support:

• Employee engagement and productivity
• Internal communication and company culture
• Staff recruitment and retention
• Brand consistency throughout the workplace
• Positive first impressions for clients and visitors

A blank office space communicates very little. Branded workplace graphics allow businesses to tell their story, showcase their values and create environments that feel purposeful and professional.

Office Wall Graphics: Maximum Impact, Minimal Disruption

One of the most effective ways to transform an office is through Wall Graphics & Office Wall Graphics.

Wall Graphics can be used to create:

• Brand statement walls
• Company history timelines
• Mission and values displays
• Large-scale imagery
• Department zoning and wayfinding

Using high-quality self-adhesive vinyls, graphics can be installed on most smooth wall surfaces and finished with matt or gloss laminates for long-term durability.

Because wall graphics are digitally printed, they can be updated as your business evolves.

Workplace Window Graphics for Privacy and Branding

Office glazing provides an excellent opportunity to introduce branding while improving privacy.

Popular Window Graphics solutions include:

• Frosted window films
• One-way vision graphics
• Printed privacy manifestations
• Full-colour branded window graphics

Window graphics help define meeting rooms, enhance visual appeal and maintain natural light without the need for expensive structural changes.

For many businesses, they represent one of the quickest ways to improve both functionality and aesthetics.

Workplace Floor Graphics That Guide and Engage

Floor Graphics are no longer just for temporary campaigns.

Produced using specialist anti-slip vinyl materials, modern floor graphics can:

• Direct visitor movement
• Identify departments and zones
• Reinforce safety messages
• Create engaging visual experiences

Floor graphics are particularly useful in large offices, educational facilities, retail environments and public spaces where navigation is important.

Workplace Fabric Displays and Textile Graphics

Fabric graphics offer a softer approach to workplace branding.

Using dye-sublimation & UV printing technology, vibrant graphics are infused directly into the fabric, creating:

• Tension fabric display systems
• Acoustic wall panels
• Hanging graphics
• Freestanding displays

Textile graphics are also popular for Exhibition Graphics, helping businesses create lightweight, portable displays with maximum visual impact.

Fabric graphics are ideal for collaborative spaces, breakout areas and reception environments where businesses want to create a more welcoming atmosphere.

Workplace Signage and Feature Displays

For reception areas and customer-facing environments, Signage often delivers the greatest visual impact.

Popular materials include:

• Foamex
• Dibond aluminium composite
• Acrylic panels
• Direct-to-substrate UV printed signage

These materials can be contour cut into bespoke shapes and installed using stand-off fixings to create high-quality feature displays that reinforce your brand throughout the workplace.

Many of these solutions are produced using our large format printing services, allowing businesses to create impactful graphics at almost any size.

Professional Print Finishing for Workplace Graphics

The performance of workplace graphics depends on more than great design.

Professional finishing options help maximise durability and appearance, including:

• Protective laminates
• UV-resistant coatings
• Contour cutting
• Hemming and eyelets
• Bespoke mounting systems

Choosing the correct finishing process ensures graphics remain vibrant, durable and professional for years to come.

Creating a Workplace Graphics That Reflects Your Brand

One of the biggest advantages of large format printing is flexibility. Businesses can transform a workplace gradually rather than committing to a complete office refurbishment.

Many organisations begin with:

• Reception wall graphics
• Meeting room branding
• Privacy window graphics
• Internal signage updates

From there, workplace graphics can be expanded across multiple departments and locations, creating a consistent branded environment throughout the business.

Because everything is digitally printed, designs can be updated, refreshed or replaced quickly and cost-effectively as your business grows.

What better way to start the new year than by giving ourselves a fresh new look that combines our extensive in-house large format digital printing capabilities with the latest visual graphics technology?

We’ve been in our current home, just outside Leeds city centre in Kirkstall, for 12 years, and we know that there’s no better way to showcase what we can do, than by making sure our state-of-the-art print facility looks as appealing and eye-catching as possible.

So, what have we done?

The first thing you’ll notice across all our branding is our refreshed logo. The sharp corners of the square have been curved off, to give it a softened and tempered look and feel.

This might seem like a small gesture but in our industry, detail is everything and we’re already receiving great feedback about how the logo feels less corporate, which reinforces our credentials as an approachable and friendly bunch!

Signage

This new logo is now the first thing you see on our website and vans, as well as on our brand-new

roadside sign, perched high above Wyther Lane, as you approach our building from either direction. The sign has immediately become a local landmark and features laser cut red acrylic, fixed to a 3mm aluminium composite tray with returns, which again matches the bright shade of red that is synonymous with Digital Plus.

This is then finished with kiss cut vinyl text, which is a lighter cut that only goes through the vinyl decal and not the backing material, like a die cut.

In addition, we’ve also unveiled a large 7 metre long sign on our building, displaying our logo and company strapline. This comprises of a 3mm aluminium composite tray, with returns,wrapped with an exterior grade vinyl. This was then finished with an exterior UV laminate for weather protection and was fully colour matched by our studio and machinery to match our distinctive shade of remarkable red.

We’ve then added a third sign to create a showstopper next to our main entrance. This baby is powder coated and aluminium fret cut with beautiful acrylic lettering and an attractive integrated illuminated system that works on a day and night timer, meaning our brand keeps on shining 24 hours a day!

This is complemented with directional signage and wayfinding step runners to guide visitors to our reception area or collection and delivery points. Again, these feature 3mm aluminium composite, wrapped with an exterior grade vinyl and finished with an exterior UV laminate to give them full weather protection.

Window graphics

Last, but by no means least, we’ve transformed our glass atrium into a powerful marketing tool by creating a stunning large-scale, attention-grabbing window graphic, that looks agonizingly good, even if we do say so ourselves!

To do this we used repositional vinyl, which enables us to swap and change our campaigns on a quarterly basis, in response to products or services that we want to promote, or even depending on seasonal themes or events.

This choice of vinyl is particularly good because it leaves no residue when it’s removed and is finished with an exterior laminate, so it’s ready to face the elements, which made it the perfect material for the job.

Let us know what you think!

We’d love to hear what you think and don’t forget that this is only a small snapshot of the graphics technology and large format digital printing capabilities that we offer clients across all sectors.

Colour check, direct printing to aluminium

Not everyone knows the difference between a grey back vinyl and a white back vinyl. Its safe to say that a customer would normally fit in to one of two types. Customer A knows what they want, how it should be printed, laminated and cut. Customer B knows what they want to achieve but doesn’t know the route to get there, a trusted supplier will handle both types of customer with ease and be on hand to advise on materials, application methods if required and options on costs depending on budgets.

There are many companies who offer Large Format Printing, the best ones will always produce their graphics in house by using state of the art machinery and will most certainly sell you the promise of speed, quality and cost as standard, but what else should you consider when choosing your printing partner? The below will give you some more food for thought when fulfilling this vital role. 

Communication: From your initial phone call, email or face to face meeting the communication is key. A great supplier will ensure they have captured everything required to cost the work and present this back to you in a clear concise manor which relates back to your enquiry. Once the scope of works is agreed and artwork sent, a regular update at appropriate intervals should also be sent. Most commonly at order confirmation, proofing and dispatch stages. Your account manager should always be on hand to assist with last minute changes or contacting you with any information that will have an impact on your brief, it is not unusual for a small problem to escalate into a much more serious one if not handled straight away and efficiently.

In our printer we trust: A promise is but a string of words, does your supplier back this up with consistent delivery against time scales and quality? Printers will be supplying end user and 3^rd parties alike, they are responsible for not just their own reputation but those of the agencies and at times, other printers they supply, often dispatching direct to the end user under plain label. Having a printer that will meet your own high standards from print quality to packaging and delivery is a fundamental part of your own companies success.

Adding a 3D printed element to a project

Specialists: Some Large Format Printers say that they specialise in certain sectors, what this means exactly is something of a mystery to some. A specialist printer will understand the art of large format printing having worked in a variety of sectors, enabling them to pass on the best techniques and knowledge gained to you the client. They should understand the demands or needs of your business type, matching your brief to a solution obtained from working within a variety of different scenarios. A competent printer will service a large mix of clients and have a vast amount of experience that will span across many business types. Testimonial and case studies are key and a supplier should be active in obtaining these to show to any perspective new customer.

Creative: A Large Format Printer should be creative, if you cannot ask for creative assistance from your printer then I would consider looking for someone who can demonstrate this ability and who are in the best position to advise on what will and will not work. Some printers will offer an art creation service, normally from a brief given, some in the industry are known for not entertaining such commitments but as the needs of the market place change you will find a supplier who can do this very well and rival that of some design agencies (as long as the brief is on par). A supplier should also be creative in the solutions it offers, not every solution is an obvious one, if something is not achievable a great supplier will find something that will meet the criteria.

Green: The Large Format Printing industry is not known for its kindness to mother nature but this is changing as material suppliers become accountable for offering alternatives to the likes of PVC and Self Adhesive Vinyl’s. It is important to many business’s now to lower their own carbon footprint and it is OK to ask your suppliers where they stand on such matters and how they are doing their bit to help the environment.

Our home is your home: An honest Large format Printer will have an open door policy for you to come and view the machinery, your work being produced and really importantly meet the people who work there. The printer/client relationship is one built on trust where sight of the printer to the end user (if done correctly) can be beneficial rather than risky, we have all heard the stories of Printer A going direct to End user B, if you trust your suppler this of course should never be an issue and bring a new level of service and understanding to the end user.

Trust in what we do best: At Digital Plus such is our expertise, that we can provide a solution for all visual graphics challenges, whether that’s for architects or agencies or for individuals or businesses within the retail, education, leisure or trade sectors. Get in touch and you can count on our award-winning team of highly-creative-experts to provide the ultimate one stop shop solution.

The post What should you expect from your large format printer appeared first on Digital Plus.

Like most forms of communication, signs carry key messages, but unfortunately, these key messages can easily be misinterpreted, overlooked or simply ignored.

However, in the world of signs, especially signs that are designed to carry essential health and safety advice and help prevent injuries, accidents, and even fatalities, it’s essential the messages are seen and understood by all.

The most effective wayfinding and site safety advice signs don’t just happen by chance, time and consideration has been taken into their design and the messaging

What do we mean by wayfinding signs?

These types of signs are available in all sorts of different options, as floor plans, area maps, building directories, street signs and directional signs. (More on this a little later in the blog).

On the whole, the principle remains the same, to make it easy for people to know where they’re going and how to get from A to B, whether that’s on foot, in the car on the train or via other forms of transport. I.e. How to get to Platform 12A; from the car park to the main entrance; from one hospital department to another and from the main reception to the kitchen….

The best wayfinding signs almost always tend to follow these four design rules:

1. Create a unique identity at each location – this can easily be achieved by using colour-coded backgrounds or basing the sign designs on themes.
2. Incorporate landmarks/special features to provide orientation cues and memorable locations – for example, sculptures or greenery alongside signage for maximum effect.
3. Create well-structured paths – that are clearly mapped out using signs that are strategically positioned at key points along the way.
4. Don’t give people too many navigation choices – instead, be selective with your use of wayfinding signs, you don’t want to overcomplicate pathways by giving people too many different instructions.

These dos and don’ts are particularly important too:

DON’T make people think too hard about their routes.

DO create clear designs that can be understood by everybody.

DON’T overload your signs with information.

DO put yourself in the shoes of your sign users.

DON’T rush the sign design process.

DO carefully consider every single square inch.

DON’T forget to double-check your signs for errors!

DO use a clear font in a large enough size.

Generally speaking, wayfinding signs can be grouped into three categories: directional signs, identification signs and warning signs, which brings us nicely to the next part of our blog – how signs can help with site safety.

Signs are central to helping maintain safety, particularly in busy areas and where dangerous work is taking place, i.e. on construction sites, in packed shopping centres and congested high streets. It can be easy to take them for granted because they’re literally everywhere, but you’d be surprised at just how effective the important messages they convey are at showing us what to do and what not to do (whether or not we realise it at the time!)

Some examples of site safety signs

Chemical storage area, hazardous area, danger – construction site, no entry, fire exit, no unauthorised entry; protective clothing must be worn, the list goes on.

Site safety sign design

In most circumstances, signs that carry specific site safety messages should follow the golden principles of sign design we’ve shared with you above. However, certain statutory safety signs must also comply with the Health and Safety Executive’s guidance. For instance, colours alone indicate certain meanings or purposes:

• Red = prohibition sign/danger alarm
• Yellow/amber = warning sign
• Blue = mandatory sign
• Green = emergency escape/first aid sign/no danger

The overall make-up and composition of these types of signs should also be designed in accordance with the HSE’s Safety Signs and Signals guidance. Failure to comply with the HSE’s guidelines means that the signs won’t comply with the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 and the company they belong to won’t be fulfilling their legal health and safety in the workplace duties.

The power of signs in providing wayfinding and site safety advice should never be underestimated. They can help create a good customer experience, promote businesses to passers-by, attract customers, communicate essential safety advice plus, so much more.

We hope you’ve found this wayfinding and site safety advice a useful starting point for designing your wayfinding and/or site safety signs.

If you’ve ever been tasked with producing an office mural or wall display for your business, you may have found it trickier than you first imagined.

Maybe it started with someone saying “Just put something bright and cheerful on that empty wall!” And at first, you thought, “Easy – I can do this. This is a fun idea.”

But then you started looking at ideas and doing some research and there were so many different types of office murals. From fun, creative office murals and beautiful works of art to bland and truly terrible office murals. And that was before you even tried to get buy-in from the rest of the team…

How do you get everyone to agree on a design? Can you make it look great and still mean something to the rest of the business? Will everyone get bored of it?

Many businesses know exactly what they want their wall graphics to say and it’s an easy decision. But, others struggle and don’t have one set idea for what they’d like to display. In these cases, it helps to think outside the box and go less permanent.

It’s possible to create interactive displays that can be altered and added to. You could create an abstract visual background and include boards where your team add images, text, figures, drawings or doodles. You could even make it magnetic so it doubles up as a notice board.

Take a look at this example…

The Big Word provides translation and interpreting services. They bring people together by breaking down language barriers and helping them communicate ideas. It seemed only fitting that their office wall mural should reflect this approach.

They came up with the idea of having a large black and white wall graphic printed on dry wipe material. The design could be coloured in, drawn and written on top of by the whole team, enabling everyone to share their contribution and have their say.

The mural has become a team-building exercise

We installed the full-size mural in their main office. The black and white cartoon-style graphic looks great as a standalone feature, particularly against the blue of their branding behind. And it can be transformed and changed using coloured pens!

Here’s an action shot of the team getting stuck into colouring in the mural one afternoon during summer. Because the graphics can be cleared and wiped down, they’ll be able to have fun with it, sharing messages and getting creative whenever they feel like it. It’s a clever idea that everyone can enjoy.

Having an appealing working environment helps employees feel happier and more satisfied at work. It can even make your office a more productive and creative place to work.

Nowadays, office branding is about much more than a smart entrance sign. It includes graphics, decor, feature walls and even interactive signage. There’s really no limit when it comes to what can be achieved.

Effective office branding makes your workplace a more enticing place to work, and can even help you retain employees. It also enables you to differentiate your business from competitors and any other office space you might come across.

Practical and achievable office branding ideas

There are dozens of different ways to make a splash using signs, graphics and branding, including:

• Wall graphics
• Window vinyl
• Banners and posters
• Internal and external signs 
• And many more

To show you what we mean, we’ve pulled together some of the best office branding ideas from installations we’ve previously completed. Take a look at them in the below infographic:

The post Infographic: Office branding ideas and inspiration appeared first on Digital Plus.

People are happier and more productive in pleasant surroundings. A study by the University of Texas found that bland grey or beige offices made people feel sad and even depressed. Adding colour in the form of branding, lettering and graphic displays is one easy way to counter this.

Vinyl lettering and printed words are a brilliant way to weave colour into your space. They allow you to create an eye-catching display but also share a personalised message. This message could be funny, inspiring or motivational. Either way, it will help to enhance the surroundings.

Take a look at these examples, which illustrate what we mean. They’re wall graphic displays we’ve created for businesses and organisations around the UK:

EXAMPLE 1: A quick pep talk from the walls of this gym

You might not always have a personal trainer to push you on during your workout, but at Club Energy Gym you can look above your head to feel their presence. They enlisted our help to print a series of quotes and messages around the gym walls. These graphics decorate the brick walls and provide a much-needed reminder of the value of feeling the burn and powering on through!

EXAMPLE 2: A dash of inspiration for this school maths department

While you were at school, how many times did you hear somebody say ‘Miss, when am I going to use this equation in real life?’

Well, the maths teachers at Ormiston Maritime Academy now have an answer. They can simply tell their pupils to read about the different ways maths is used around the world, right outside the classroom door. We created this floor to ceiling wall graphic as a part of a school-wide fit out of signs and graphics (you can read about the full project here). The educational message is a great reminder to teachers and pupils of the power of learning.

EXAMPLE 3: Little pick-me-ups at this office space

This brand new office building wanted to decorate some of the walls within their communal meeting areas and recreation rooms. The client selected a range of motivational quotes and messages to scatter around the rooms in noticeable places.

They used colours, fonts and contrasting backdrops to make the words pop. And whether you view the messages as thought-provoking or a bit of fun, they definitely succeed in adding a splash of colour. We printed and installed this vinyl wall lettering as a part of a wider installation (see the full space here).

EXAMPLE 4: A gentle reminder in a customer call centre

When we’re caught up in the daily hustle and bustle of our jobs, it can be easy to forgot the wider purpose of the work that’s being done. That’s why many large businesses decide to put branded messages on their office walls.

This message sits on the wall next to the customer care team at a call centre. It provides a visible reminder that the team is there to help customers feel at ease and reassure them. The message is printed in company colours for all to see.

EXAMPLE 5: The commemoration of hard work for a good cause

It’s easier to feel positive for the future when we can recognise the hard work that’s already been achieved in the past. And that’s exactly what this local Leeds charity, Mencap, wanted to do within their centre’s reception area.

We helped them create a commemorative wall featuring the names of individuals who’ve supported their charity over the years. Not only is this a well-deserved celebration of their donors, but it’s also a positive reminder of what can be achieved with the support of a community.

We hope these ideas have provided a useful starting point. There are so many options for personalising your space with wall graphics, deciding which option is best for you can be the tricky part.

The best way to discover what might work is simply to ask. Involving your employees, visitors, students or customers in the design process is one way to develop a design people will appreciate and enjoy. Alternatively, talking to a digital printers about what’s achievable can also help develop your ideas.

Have you tapped into the benefits of office branding yet?

It brightens up your workspace and makes it feel like your own. It also creates a fantastic first impression for visitors and can even help your employees to feel more engaged.

If you’re thinking about investing in some office branding, it’s good to do a bit of research first. And if you’re reading this blog, you’ve come to the right place. We’re here to tell you about the most common mistakes companies make, so you can avoid making them yourself.

MISTAKE #1: Including information that could go out of date

Will your content stand the test of time?

Make sure the answer is ‘yes,’ or you may end up kicking yourself….

Imagine creating a beautiful ‘meet the team’ wall display only for Janet from sales to leave the following week. Or imagine having window graphics printed featuring your top client logos, only for your client base to have changed by the following quarter. These are common but preventable errors.

Your office branding should be relevant and reflective of your organisation, so stick to concrete facts only. Don’t be tempted to include details you know could change or become outdated. This will leave you with costly amendments (and most probably test your patience too).

Make sure your graphics look bright, colourful and exciting

MISTAKE #2: Being too corporate

The purpose of office branding is to brighten up your space, so make sure it does exactly that.

Your finished graphics should always be professional, but try to ensure they’re exciting to look at too. Use colour, text and graphics and think beyond traditional door signs and banners. There are dozens of different ways to use a blank wall, so get experimenting! Wall vinyl and branded magnetic boards are two of our favourite products for office interiors.

TOP TIP: Avoid relying too heavily on stock images and generic corporate messaging. Instead, give your employees the chance to input into the creative process and consider commissioning a custom-made design.

An example of generic, corporate imagery to avoid

MISTAKE #3: Being too casual

Yes, your branding should look great, but make sure it’s not too informal.

Strike the right balance!

Remember that the space you’re working with is a working environment that will be visited by clients and other contacts, who you’ll no doubt want to impress. Equally, your office branding should remind employees why the work they do is important. Making your office branding too casual and informal can detract from this.

Keep it recognisable

MISTAKE #4: Not making it personal to your business

The best office branding says: ‘This is who we are and this is why we’re here.’

The worst office branding says: ‘Here’s a blank wall that we filled with a stock photo because we ran out of ideas.’

Don’t fall into the latter category. Make sure your branding is, in some small way, reflective of who you are as a company and what you stand for. This could be as simple as including your company vision, some relevant symbols or a quote from a satisfied customer. Or why not create a visual nod to your biggest achievement to date? Whatever it is, make sure it’s unique to your organisation.

MISTAKE #5: Branding overkill

Less is more when it comes to branding.

Even the most neutral brand colours can become garish when placed on every wall, floor, ceiling, door and surface. Stick to a few feature walls and smaller details, like doorway signs, reception desk graphics and displays in communal areas.

Think carefully about your space and the type of branding that will work the best. If it’s a bright, light warehouse, you’ll be able to get away with bigger pieces than if it’s a compact office. Working with a company that conduct site visits and supply visual mock-ups is the best way to make sure you order effectively.

Corporate wall murals and custom wall graphics are no longer reserved for the likes of Google, Facebook and Spotify, but are regular features at company HQs of all sizes. But what makes them so popular? And what are the benefits of commissioning one for your business?

Well, a corporate wall mural can…

1. Share your company identity.
2. Brighten up dull, empty walls.
3. Impress clients and visitors.
4. Create an engaging environment for employees.
5. Promote company achievements.
6. Create inspiring meeting spaces.
7. Make your premises your own.

Time to enhance your office?

Clean, bright and comfortable surroundings make for a more contented, productive workforce. Wall graphics are just one of many, easy ways you can upgrade your office space to make it more appealing.

The thing that makes murals such a popular choice for sprucing up corporate office space is that they are customisable, cost effective and simple to install. They can also be removed easily, making them the ideal solution for leased properties.

Share your culture and values

Rather than opting for a quick lick of paint or hanging some pictures, a corporate wall mural allows you to create something completely unique and personal to your company that everyone can enjoy.

You could use your mural to…

• Celebrate your city or region
• Share your company’s values
• Display a company timeline
• Commemorate key achievements
• Represent your employees

What’s your style?

The beauty of commissioning a mural or graphic display is that you can choose a design that suits your brand. Is a colourful, quirky illustration your style? Could inspirational quotations work effectively? Or perhaps smart, sleek photography would set the right tone?

The possibilities are endless and it really depends on the kind of environment you hope to create. Getting your team involved in the ideas stage is a nice way of making sure your finished mural hits the mark. It’s also a great way of helping people feel more at home within their working environment.

Simple, effective and easily attainable

While wall graphics aren’t going to revolutionise your business, they’re a simple, but effective touch that can enhance the way people feel about their day-to-day surroundings. They look great and don’t break the bank, making them an easy, convenient way for organisations to update and personalise their office space.

Whether you’re a local charity, restaurant, national bank or an international hotel chain, recognisable on-site branding is an absolute must. For a start, it tells visitors that they’re in the right place. But more than that, printed branding can leave a positive first impression and help make your premises a more engaging place to be.

There are dozens of creative ways to brand your space, many of which will allow you to stand out from the crowd without breaking the bank! These 7 printed branding hacks are a good place to start:

1. Brand every pane

Adhesive vinyl lettering takes minutes to install (check out our video to see for yourself) and is the smart and professional way to brand empty glass space in your shop, office or premises. Window vinyl is easily removed, making it ideal for branding rented spaces. Add a company name, web address, a witty comment or simply an opaque logo – it’s totally up to you what message you share!

2. Introduce yourself

Your reception desk or customer service counter is often one of the first areas visitors will come across, meaning it presents a valuable branding opportunity. Not only does a branded counter tell people they’ve arrived in the right place, but it can help create a smart first impression too.

3. Create a feature wall

This one is great for customer-facing and non-customer facing businesses alike. Wall graphics are the simple way to transform empty wall space in your premises, creating bright, eye-catching designs within your shared areas.

You could share your company values, create a mural, commemorate team achievements, write a thought-provoking message or simply display a photograph – the options are endless. Perhaps the best thing about wall graphics is that they serve to decorate and brand your space simultaneously. Two birds, one stone!

4. Spell it out

Investing in high-quality cut lettering on the outside of your building creates a professional impression and signals to the local area that you’re here to stay. Choosing a lightweight metal, like aluminium, looks great while remaining simple to install and maintain.

5. Illuminating ideas

Lightboxes are great for making an impact in entranceways and shared areas as their brightness naturally draws in attention. Team your lightbox with a logo or text in the foreground and your branding is, quite literally, illuminated for all to see.

6. Reusable messages

If you regularly hold events, sales or offers that you want to shout about, there’s no need wasting time on creating new paper collateral every time. Investing in a branded event banner that’s printed on to PVC substrates means you can reuse the same posters and banners each time.

PVC banners and posters are waterproof, uncreasable and unrippable, meaning they can easily be wiped down, folded up and stowed away until you next need them. This not only saves you money, but also means you have more time left over to spend on making your event a success.

7. Memorable messages

Creating an interactive message board or wall is a great way of getting your branding and messages centre stage, while also encouraging customers and/or employees to get involved and share their thoughts.

We create magnetic, dry wipe boards that can be branded and customised to your business’ unique preferences. These boards can be wall-mounted or stand alone, allowing you to position them where they will be seen and used by the most people.

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to branding your space and, often, the more creative the idea, the better it turns out! If you’ve been inspired by any of these branding hacks or would like to run your own suggestion(s) past us, simply get in touch on 0113 278 3133 or sales@digitalplus.co.uk.
