Large format & signage in Paarl: local notes
Farm stalls, cellars and guest houses along the R45 and R101 want roadside boards and wine route signs that last in the sun. Shops on Main Street order fascias and window vinyl, and factories in Dal Josafat need safety signs and van branding. The Berg River canoe marathon and school rugby derbies bring banners, flags and gazebos. Ask for UV-resistant inks and laminated vinyl on anything facing north.
Printing in Paarl
Paarl stretches along one of the longest main streets in the country, and that strip of shops, churches, law firms and old school buildings still carries much of the town's print work. Wine cellars, fruit packers and export firms in the Drakenstein valley order wine and fruit labels, shipping forms and farm boards, while the big boys' and girls' schools bring rugby programmes, sports kit and reunion print. Weddings at estates around Simondium and Franschhoek add invitations and menus. Print shops sit along Main Street and in the town centre, with sign makers and screen printers in Dal Josafat. Hot, dry summers fade outdoor vinyl and winter rain soaks banners.
The requests we see from Paarl usually come from:
