Production that matches the project​

Not everything should be made the same way.​

At Lemon Signs, production is not a fixed process — it’s a set of methods we combine depending on what the project actually requires.

From precision digital printing to fabrication, assembly and finishing, we choose the right approach based on scale, materials, durability and installation conditions.

The result is signage that doesn’t just look good — it performs properly in the real world.

We also work with a trusted network of specialist fabricators and suppliers we’ve built relationships with over many years.

This allows us to scale production and access a wider range of materials, techniques and capabilities — while still keeping full control over quality and delivery.​

How production is managed

File Preparation

Printing or Cutting

We start by preparing your artwork for production, using vector files (like AI, EPS, or SVG) to make sure everything prints or cuts with perfect clarity—no blurry edges! 
​

Assembly & Fabrication

Once the components are ready, we assemble the sign. This may involve  mounting letters, welding frames,or installing LEDs—whatever the sign type calls for.
​

Depending on the design, we either print the graphics (for full-colour signs or wraps) or cut shapes and lettering using plotters.

Finishing Touches

We clean, polish, and apply any protective coatings needed. This step ensures your sign looks sharp and is ready to withstand the elements.
​

Quality Control

Before it leaves  us, every sign goes through a thorough inspection to check for colour accuracy, alignment, finis quality, electrical safety and structural integrity.

Ready for Install or Delivery

Once we're sure the quality is tip-top, your sign is either packaged for delivery or handed to the installation team.

These are some of the methods we use — often combined within a single project.

Digital Printing

​This method is ideal for full-colour graphics, photos, and gradients. Using large-format printers, we print directly onto vinyl, banner material, or even rigid substrates. It’s great for indoor and outdoor signs, posters, decals, and vehicle wraps.

​CNC Routing / Laser Cutting

​Computer-controlled machines cut shapes, letters, or designs from rigid materials like acrylic, aluminium, wood, or PVC. CNC routing is used for dimensional lettering, sign panels, and custom shapes, offering a clean and precise finish.

UV Flatbed Printing

UV printers can print directly onto rigid materials like acrylic, wood, metal, or foam board. The UV light cures the ink instantly, making it highly durable and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

​Vinyl Cutting

Plotters cut shapes, letters, or logos from coloured adhesive vinyl. It’s perfect for window lettering, wall graphics, and clean, simple signage. The cut vinyl is then transferred and applied to the desired surface.

​Engraving

Engraving uses lasers or mechanical tools to etch text or graphics into metal, plastic, or wood. It’s commonly used for nameplates, directories, plaques, and wayfinding signs.
​

Fabrication / Assembly

​This involves constructing 3D or illuminated signs. It can include welding frames, bending metal, mounting LED lighting, and assembling the final structure.
