When hoarding design is first briefed, it’s easy to think you’ll be dealing with a straight row of text and CGI’s. However, you can be creative with printed hoarding design.
You can use additional substrates and films to create very different look and feel to a construction site hoarding. Adding touches of vinyls, metallics and reflective, takes you away from CMYK constraints and whether its shaped hoarding panels, adding gold/silver metallics or simply adding literature holders. Hoarding design can be fun and eye catching.

Johnsons have a wealth of experience in the manufacture and installation of hoarding graphics. We use our experience to help designers and end-users create hoarding that is eye-catching. Our installation teams work with our production teams to help designers to create beautiful and premium hoarding displays that are built to last.
What can be done with hoarding design graphics?
Using computer cut Dibond panels or metallic gold vinyls, built-up text and logo’s or simple literature holders can greatly improve your hoardings appeal and wow factor. Illumination and our recent inclusion of digital messaging on monitors can be a great option where budgets allow, but simple projected flat cut shapes and viewing apertures can make a difference. We are always looking to see how creative we can be when adding hoarding graphics, so why not try us with your ideas? We love a challenge, designing hoarding doesn’t have to be run of the mill.

How we can help
If you have design ideas or you are an agency or designer, we can help bring your ideas to fruition. Your project will be managed by one of our project managers who will work with designers, production teams and installation teams. We will discuss and survey your site, advise and ensure each stage progresses smoothly and with full support.
Our survey offers designers the chance to see how the land lies. How the hoarding falls and drops away, as well as any obstacles that may obscure an important message. We look after this for you, and will advise on design before the projects goes into production.

If you would like us to meet at site, take measurements and discuss your ideas, please don’t hesitate to call 01270 625207 where we will be able to advise on the best steps forward. Advice on hoarding design is always available.

House Builder Flags and Marketing Suite Graphics
The House Builder flags and flagpoles are the most popular product. They are 6 metres tall to the top of the finial, and include a 2 metre long x 900mm wide flag. This portrait flag drapes permanently from a rotating arm ensuring a permanently expanded graphic even when there is little or no breeze.
The flags are weighted from the base and attached to the flagpole by a weighting ring and mast bands. This ensures the flag drapes permanently to enhance the graphics, logo's or text. The knitted polyester flags are single sided and have a 95% show through, giving a graphic on both sides of the flag.

Double sided flags
Many clients go for double sided flags which include a light-block liner to prevent graphics merging together from both sides. However, the flags look fantastic as a single sided flag where the lightweight fabric drapes well and lasts that little bit longer.Marketing Suite & Construction Site Printed Graphics

Our hoarding printing project start out with a site survey enabling us to create accurate measurements for designers. This is done with Adobe Illustrator so that the designers can see areas that may be hidden, uneven printed hoarding placements and gives our client a good idea of how the hoarding will look once installed. This was produced in collaboration with Parker Design Consultants, see their hoarding pages here.

The site position in Windermere was perfect to communicate to the public how important the work in this area was. After the survey, the hoarding printing was done on our flatbed printing presses in Cheshire. Our workflow software enabled us to colour match the UU brand colours accurately.

Installation Of Hoarding Boards
We provided a Risk Assessment and Method Statements based on our site survey. The printed hoarding used 1220mm x 2440mm ACM hoarding boards and required a lay down area for each section.
We have a professional and experienced hoarding fitting team. Each installation is discussed beforehand and designers use diagrams produced by the site survey to design each length of hoarding graphic. Installation of printed hoarding was made simple by producing the schematic diagram after the site survey. This meant that all hoarding graphics met perfectly and reduced the fitting time.

The Things That Nobody Tells You When Designing Office Wallpaper!

#5 Tips to Help You Design Great Office Wallpaper
#1 Use a generous safe area

#2 How Much Bleed?

#3 Look at the wall from all angles
Take multiple views of the wall into account. There's nothing worse than finding an obstruction in front of that important text. This might mean visiting the office to check for yourself, however a good survey should take care of this. Ask the printer to include multiple views in the survey pictures. Very often it means you'll amend position of text, eyes etc on the final design.#4 Look out for inappropriately positioned pipes

#5 Check the Image Quality
