Large format & signage in Cape Town: local notes
Film and advert shoots need printed backdrops, mock shopfronts and fabric prints at short notice, often from wide format printers in Salt River and Paarden Eiland. Exhibitions at the CTICC need stand graphics, light boxes and floor vinyl, and the Cycle Tour and Two Oceans Marathon need route banners and flags. Shops in Claremont and around the Waterfront want window vinyl. Ask for mesh banners and weighted bases in the southeaster.
Print, signs and branding in Cape Town
Film crews, ad agencies and the events calendar give the Mother City a different print rhythm from the rest of the country. Shoots need set graphics, prop prints and location paperwork; the CTICC brings conference backdrops and exhibition stands; and the summer tourist season fills orders for menus, maps, wine estate brochures and hotel stationery. Design studios in Woodstock and the city centre want fine papers, foiling and short runs, while Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland host the big litho presses, sign makers and wide format printers. The summer southeaster tears banners, winter fronts bring heavy rain, and salt air near the coast is hard on steel.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Companies and offices: reception signs, office door plates, site boards and SANS 1186 safety signs across a plant
- Events, conferences and clubs: directional boards, sponsor boards and temporary venue signs for races, festivals and expos
- Shops, restaurants and salons: shopfront fascias, light boxes and window vinyl for shops, salons and restaurants in malls
