At DB Signs, we’ve always believed that the story behind the sign is just as important as the sign itself. Every project, no matter how big or small, involves a detailed process that blends creativity, precision, and care.
In this article, we’re taking you behind the scenes to show you what happens from the moment you contact us to when your sign is up and making an impact for your business.
The First Step: Understanding Your Needs
The journey begins the moment you reach out to us. We understand that a sign is more than just a way to label your business – it’s a vital part of your branding and marketing strategy.
When you contact DB Signs, we make it a priority to listen and understand your goals. Whether you’re looking to refresh your store or office front or create a completely new identity, we take the time to learn about your business, its values, and the message you want to convey.
This initial conversation is crucial, as it lays the foundation for the entire project. We ask questions, clarify details, and make sure we’re all aligned on expectations before moving forward.

The Quoting Process: Transparency Every Step of the Way
We aim to provide a clear and detailed quote for all jobs.
At DB Signs, transparency is key.
We break down every element of the quote, so you understand the costs involved – from materials to installation. Our aim is to ensure that there are no surprises along the way.
We want you to feel comfortable and confident in the value of the work we’re doing, and we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have throughout this process.
At DB Signs we are ready to help you with your signage needs
Creating the Perfect Design
Once you give us the go ahead and you require us to help with the design our design team begins work.
This is where creativity comes in. We’ll work closely with you to craft a design that resonates with your business’s identity. Our goal is to create a sign that not only looks good but also communicates the right message to the right people.
We understand that design is a process, so we get your approval before taking it to the next step. If you have any adjustments or new ideas, we will implement these before the final design is signed off.
Our goal is to ensure the final design is something you’re proud of and that aligns perfectly with your brand.
If you already have a sign design and just require the production and installation we go directly to the next step.
Choosing the Right Materials
The materials used for your sign are just as important as the design.
We work with a wide range of high-quality materials, from weather-resistant vinyl for outdoor signs to eco-friendly options for those looking to minimize their environmental impact.
We select materials that suit the specific needs of your sign, considering factors like durability, location, and how long you expect the sign to last.
Whether it’s a vinyl wrap for your vehicle or a large-format outdoor sign, we ensure the materials used are of the highest standard, built to withstand NZ’s diverse weather conditions and maintain their appearance over time.
Printing and Production: Crafting the Sign
After the design and materials are approved, it’s time to bring the concept to life.
Our state-of-the-art printing technology ensures that your sign is produced with sharp detail, vibrant colours, and the durability it needs. Whether we’re printing banners, decals, or large-format signs, we ensure that every detail is crisp and precise.
This part of the process also involves cutting, shaping, and finishing the sign. We pay attention to the smallest details, from the quality of the edges to the application of finishes that enhance the longevity and visual appeal of your sign.

Installation: The Final Touch
Once your sign is ready, our installation team steps in. Installation is a critical part of the process, as it’s the moment when everything comes together. Our team ensures that your sign is positioned perfectly, safely, and securely, whether it’s being mounted on a building, displayed at an event, or installed on your vehicle. We take care to ensure that everything is aligned, visible, and professionally presented.
