Not at all. Although we work with over 80 of the world’s top 100 brands and many of the top brands locally, we also provide branding solutions to much smaller companies and start-ups.

We have no minimum order quantity. We have the flexibility to manufacture 1 unit and the capacity to do 1000. As with most bespoke manufactured items, price reduces as quantity rises, but we recognise that very often one unit is all that is needed to get your brand out there.

You can either send through a Quote Request or Contact Request form through our website or contact us directly via email or phone.

We need to receive your logo in a format suitable for large format printing, preferably vector or print-ready PDF. Full details of our artwork T&Cs are available here: Artwork T&Cs

We can normally re-create your logo in the correct format, for which we will charge a per hour fee. However, we will supply you with this logo file for future use.

No sorry we don’t offer this service

Yes, in all instances we provide a visual proof prior to production. This will give you an idea of what the finished product will look like (although colours won’t be a true visual match), as we as present any issues pertaining to logos, images, etc our studio may encounter whilst setting up the artwork for print.

This is all dependent on the products you’ve ordered and the quantities. Before your order goes into production, your account manager will confirm the dispatch date. Please note that products will only be dispatched once payment has been made in full.

Provided that the hardware is from Expand a Sign, yes you can. Our hardware is made to last with most of our products offering the flexibility to be reskinned when the fabric becomes old and faded. These products include: Flying, Feather and Wing Banners, Ex-Up Banners, WondaSigns, BackWalls, Ex-T Lite, Ex-T Banners, Gazebos, and Ex-Stars, Acacia Parasol Shades, Bean Bags, Poster Boards, Deckchairs.

Yes. We offer an extensive range of hardware and accessories, specially designed for our banners.

All our dye-sublimation inks are non-toxic and water-based. We also offer UV printing for certain products

In Layman’s terms, the image is printed onto a special transfer paper. This printed image is then fed through a high-pressure roller heat-press. This process then transfers the printed image onto the fabric. This process allows for the ink to be embedded into the fabric.

UV printing is a form of digital printing that uses ultra-violet lights to dry or cure ink as it is printed. As the printer distributes ink on the surface of the fabric, specially designed UV lights follow close behind, curing or drying the ink instantly.

Strike-through is the visibility of the print on the reverse side of single-sided prints. With our high-quality inks, we can offer increased penetration through the fabric – allowing your prints to be clearly visible on either side.

We have developed fabrics specific to each one of our products. These fabrics are woven polyester which we weave and coat with dirt repellant, light fasteners, fire retardants (on request), etc ourselves.

First and foremost, the Flying Banner was invented by us over 20 years ago and since then, competitors have tried and failed to copy our patented design. The Flying Banner offers a teardrop shape and is ideal for windy areas. The Feather Banner is better known as a telescopic banner and we offer variating widths and heights for these banners. Finally, the Wing Banner. This banner offers a Sail banner shape and is ideal for spaces where you really want to stand out with its’ impressive 6.7m height on the XL option.

Our Gazebos come in 3 sizes: 3m x 3m, 4.5m x 3m and 6m x 3m. All our Gazebos offer custom options of: half walls, full walls, single sided print, double sided print, doors, standard or heavy duty frames and standard carry bags or wheeled bags.

Our products can be set up in a matter of minutes with no more than 2 people required for larger products. Most of these products are accompanied by printed set up and takedown instructions, which are sewn into their bags. Alternatively, we have created videos for our most popular products for added assistance.

A bespoke (aka custom) product is one that is made especially to a size and design, it is made-to-measure.

Yes, our in house team can often adapt our banners or flags to fit specific requirements or make a ‘custom-made’ banner. If for any reason we cannot do this for you, our extensive industry contacts means we can source a solution for you.

At Expand a Sign, size does count. We have made soccer shirt replicas the height of a 4-story building and 10m inflatables. We have also created desktop flags and A4 Ex-T Lite pull-up banners. There are virtually no limitations to the size banner we can print.
