Frequently asked questions
Where do I start?
Please get in touch with us in the earliest stage of your process as possible – this will allow us to ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible. We can assist in all steps of the process, from logo design and brand development all the way through to signage installation.
Do you offer design and artwork services?
Yes. We can create new designs from scratch, adapt existing artwork, or prepare print-ready files.
Will installation or removal damage the surface?
No. When vinyl is correctly applied over sound surfaces (like factory vehicle paint or cured wall paint) and removed correctly, there should be no damage. We assess surface quality beforehand and advise if repairs are needed prior to installation.
Can you wrap over rivets, corrugated surfaces, or checker plate?
- Rivets: Yes, we use specialized heat tools to mold vinyl over them.
- Corrugations: We advise on a case-by-case basis; sometimes flat panels are better.
- Checker Plate: We recommend installing a flat panel over it or avoiding it, as vinyl is prone to lifting on heavily textured surfaces.
Can you protect graphics against stone chips and harsh environments?
Yes. For high-impact areas, we can apply a “stone guard” laminate. This thicker, protective skin absorbs impacts, protecting both the printed graphic and the paint underneath from the elements.
Can you remove my old signage or graphics before starting?
Yes. We offer a full “strip and prep” service. We can professionally remove old vinyl, decommission old lightboxes, and responsibly dispose of or recycle old materials so your new branding has a perfectly clean surface.
How do I clean and maintain my signs or wraps?
Use hand washing with pH-neutral soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive brushes, harsh chemicals, and high-pressure water blasters (especially near the edges of vinyl graphics). We provide specific care instructions with every completed job.
What happens if my sign or graphics get damaged?
Because we keep all your digital artwork on file, we can quickly produce and apply repairs, ensuring your signage always looks its best. Drop us a line or send through a photo of the damage, and we’ll get it sorted.
Important: If the damage has created a potential hazard, please contact us immediately. We will mobilize as quickly as possible to secure the signage and restore safety.
How long will it take to complete my signage job?
Project durations at Timaru Signs depend on the complexity and size of your request. We aim for a speedy turnaround on every job, ensuring your brand gets noticed as quickly as possible without sacrificing quality. If you have a specific deadline you need to meet, we can usually make it work – please be sure to mention this to our helpful staff when you enquire.
