RAMS for Signage & Hoarding Installation

Yes, aluminium composite boards lend themselves to ideally suit application of anti-graffiti lamination. Most of the printed hoarding and signage projects and we work on, include anti-graffiti laminate.

Anti graffiti laminate is added to the hoarding boards after printing. Apart from protecting the ink on the hoarding it also adds a premium gloss finish to the hoarding. Adding to the aesthetic of the hoarding boards as well as prolonging their life.

How Does Anti-Graffiti Laminate Work?

Anti-graffiti laminate won't stop vandals from defacing your hoarding. However, the coating on the gloss laminate film protects your printed image and allows mild detergents to be used to clean off the graffiti.

If printed hoarding doesn't have this laminate protection, cleaning is more difficult to administer without breaking down the ink. This may cause fading or even smudging of the ink depending on how aggressive the cleaning solution is. Anti-graffiti laminate will allow most cleaning solutions to be administered without breaking down and therefore without compromising the printed image on your hoarding panels.

Printed Hoarding

Printed hoarding gives a professional solution to unsightly site hoarding. We give a full survey, design, print and installation service. We help our clients acheive the most professional, safe and creative printed hoarding.

We give you a professional and comprehensive printed hoarding service which includes site survey, print production and installation.  Your project will be managed from start to finish by our installation manager who, after surveying, will work with you and our pre-press and production teams, right through to managing the installation.

We can be creative with your site hoarding. Adding printed hoarding that is cut to shape, 3D or add external leaflet holders and TV monitors. We have solutions for everything and the expertise and experience within our installation team. You can discuss requirements over the phone or ask for a survey on site.

Durable Printed hoarding, with exceptional print quality

We use only the best aluminium composite substrates for all our signage and hoarding, ensuring a durable solution.  Anti-graffiti laminate can also be applied which not only protects but will enhance the graphic. We also print to a quality that reproduces your design with accurate colour reproduction using the much coveted AGFA workflow software.

Free Site Survey

We offer a free site survey to assess the area, take measurements and discuss the style of hoarding that is required.  At this stage we would measure and assess the hoarding structure the graphics will be fixed to, and then record any variations in height that may affect the run of the graphics.

Creating artwork for hoarding

If you are designing the hoarding panels, we would submit a scale template for you to render your graphics on to.  This will allow you to see exactly how your graphics will appear when the hoarding project is completed.  Call Jamie Brelsford on 01270 625 207 to discuss in more detail.

Hoarding Design Styles

There are a number of different ways to present your graphics onto existing hoarding structure.  A complete covering with anti-graffiti laminate and complete with header and kickers are the most popular, but you can reduce expenditure by using boards in a landscape orientation.  This band of graphics is usually centred across the hoarding, and as long as the hoarding is painted, it will be perfectly adequate to get your message across.

Other examples include acrylic logo's and text to add depth to the design.  Solar spotlights can add a little more attention to the site too.

We can always discuss your design ideas during the site survey, or by phone using images of the site. If you need us to help design your hoarding, our studio will work with you to go through the brief and present design ideas to scale.

We can make printed hoarding cheaper in a number of ways. However, our method of creating a scaled schematic diagram of the hoarding layout makes a big difference to cost.

These diagrams, produced after our site survey, allow designers to add graphics giving a realistic visual of the finished hoarding graphics. As it is drawn to scale, it is also used to create print ready files for production. This not only reduces pre-press time but reduces the installation time of the hoarding considerably.

Ways we can make your hoarding cheaper

1) Installing Landscape Hoarding Panels

Landscape hoarding panels will generally double the amount area covered around your construction site perimeter. On this example above, only the top half of the hoarding was visible from the roadside therefore using landscape panels to the top of the hoarding was ideal.

We have also produced projects where landscape hoarding panels are fixed across the middle of the existing hoarding boards.

2) PVC Hoarding

Whilst using a high quality 720gsm PVC banner material can reduce the cost of hoarding graphics, PVC can deteriorate much quicker than Dibond hoarding panels. However for short term projects this may be ideal. The PVC requires a mostly flat surface and will require our site survey to discuss the options.

The image below shows how the PVC material is not always completely flat on timber hoarding. However, creates an adequate graphic for short term hoarding.

Give the team a call to discuss your hoarding project. Our experience in creating and installing high quality hoarding graphics will ensure you get the very best advice. See more details in the links below, or leave a message for us at the bottom of the page and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Use existing Headers and Kickers

A nice way of reducing costs on printed hoarding is by utilising the existing headers and kickers.

Headers and kicker panels are usually 150mm in depth and run along the top and bottom of the hoarding. These are usually added by the hoarding fitters when they build the site hoarding, and these are usually white. If these can be utilised it will save costs on us producing the headers and kickers. However, matching headers and kickers with the brand colour can enhance the overall look of the hoarding.

Headers and kickers run across the top and the bottom of hoarding to frame and finish the hoarding. Because hoarding panels are generally rectangular they will be installed in steps on steep inclinations and the headers and kickers hide the unsightly steps. This gives a good frame to the top and the bottom of the peinted hoarding graphic.

Mesh Banner Covers for Heras Fencing

Printed Heras Fence covers are produced in fabric or mesh banner material to allow air to pass through easily. This puts less stress on the Heras fencing than a PVC banner or rigid sign, and presents a large area for branding.

We are able to print high quality covers at a cost effective price due to our investment in the most up to date print technology. Give our team a call to discuss in more detail or email sales@jprint.co.uk

How To Install Printed Heras Fence Covers

Heras fencing covers are easy to install. The lightweight material is easily attached to the fencing. They can be applied by cable tie or bungee in a few minutes via the reinforced eyelets on each side of the fence cover. Air flow through the material is excellent and will not put stress on the fencing which is particular critical in high winds.

Our Printed Heras Fence Covers offer a very cost effective alternative to hoarding boards and where there are no substantial timber or metal hoarding to attach hoarding boards.

Print Quality and Colour Matching

As always, our exceptional quality control extends to printing on all of our wide format products. Where colour or brand matching is critical we can offer sampling showing a section of the printed Heras fencing covers.

Mesh Banners

Johnsons also manufacture mesh banners. The banners are printed onto a lightweigh mesh substrate which allows air to flow through the banner. Mesh banners are required in those areas where high winds can cause damage and where additional weight to structures is not advised. Take a look at our mesh banner printing pages.
