Eastern Cape notes on large format & signage
Factories in Kariega, the Coega special economic zone and East London's industrial areas order SANS 1186 safety signs and floor markings. Surf events at Jeffreys Bay and beach festivals need flags and banners that handle strong wind. Shops in Mthatha's busy CBD order fascias and window vinyl. Coastal salt is hard on steel, so ask sign makers about aluminium frames and laminated vinyl.
