SHOPFRONT AND BUILDING SIGNAGE, AUCKLAND
Shop and building signage in Auckland, awkward frontages included
Very few shopfronts are a flat rectangle waiting for a sign. There is a tenancy set back behind a veranda, a fascia that is not square, more glass than wall, or a frontage that has to be read from the far side of a main road.
We are a specialist signage company offering a full suite of signage services throughout the Auckland region. Any size, any format, any material, indoor and outdoor, supplied and installed by our own team.

Any size
One footpath sign, a full commercial frontage, or signage at billboard scale.
Any format
Light boxes, fascia and wall signage, window graphics, footpath signs, large format.
Any material
Indoor and outdoor applications, with the material chosen to suit the site.
No job is too small
A single panel is as normal a job here as a whole building frontage.
The frontage is awkward. That is the normal case.
Nobody rings a signage company because their building is easy. They ring because the shop sits behind a veranda, because the only flat surface is glass, because the unit is one of five on the same frontage, or because the sign has to work from a moving car in the rain as well as it does on foot.
That is the job. We supply and install signage and display solutions for indoor and outdoor applications in any size, any format and any material, so an odd frontage usually means a different format rather than a smaller sign.
- The tenancy is set back and nobody sees it from the footpath
- The fascia is not square, or is not flat
- It is all glass and there is nothing to fix a panel to
- It has to be legible from the far side of a main road
- There is one sign area and three things to say
- The frontage goes dark and dead after closing
- You need one sign now and the rest of the shop later
Shop fit out work. We fit out shops, stores and offices with branded equipment, fixtures and signage, so the sign and the space behind it are specified by the same people.
The designers and the shop fitters are the same company
Our team includes experienced designers and shop fitters. That matters on a shopfront, because the drawing and the install are the two places a sign job comes unstuck. When the same company does both, the sign that goes up is the one you approved.
Bring print ready artwork and we will work to it. Bring nothing but a business name and we will take it end to end, from concept through to fit out, and carry on inside the door if you want us to.
- Concept to execution, in one place
- Comfortable working with artwork you supply
- Supply and install, indoor and outdoor
- Shops, stores and offices fitted out with branded equipment, fixtures and signage

What goes on an Auckland shopfront
We can deliver signage solutions in any size, any format and any material. On a shopfront that usually comes down to the six below, and most frontages end up using two or three of them together.
Light boxes
Illuminated signage so the frontage keeps working after dark and through a winter afternoon, which is when a printed panel disappears.
Exterior building signage
Fascia and wall signage sized to the building, from a single tenancy shopfront through to a whole commercial frontage.
Window frosting and graphics
The answer when the frontage is all glass. Frosting where you need privacy, graphics where you need the window to sell, and nothing to build.
Interior signage
Indoor applications as well as outdoor, so the inside of the shop reads as the same business as the sign above the door.
Footpath signage
Sandwich boards and small branded signs, aimed at the people already walking past the door. Often the first sign a new shop buys.
Billboards and large format
When the sign has to be read from the far side of the road, the same team goes up to billboard scale.
Signage work we have out there
A selection of our signage work. Businesses we have signed and fitted out are named further down the page.
We supply and install signage and display solutions for indoor and outdoor applications.
Any size, any format, any material. The format follows the site rather than the other way round.
Light boxes, fascia and wall signage, window graphics and footpath signs all come from the same team.
Bring print ready artwork and we will work to it, or start with nothing and our designers will take it from concept.
We work throughout the Auckland region, from 133 Wairau Road in Glenfield on the North Shore.
No job is too small. One panel is as ordinary a job for us as a full frontage.
What customers say
Rated 4.8 out of 5 on Google, from 21 reviews.
Signmate went above and beyond in transforming my showroom and office fit-out, as well as creating an outstanding car logo.
We use Jackie and the team at Signmate to wrap all our vehicles, they even managed to wrap our building.
I was very pleased with the level of professional service I received from Signmate Limited, the quality of the graphics for my logo was creative and perfect for my company in attracting new customers.
Businesses we have signed and fitted out
Retail, hospitality, motor trade, education and corporate. Big names and single shops, on the same list.

One supplier, or three
A shopfront is rarely one trade. There is the design, the sign itself, and then the fit out inside the door. You can buy those from three places, or from one.
Signmate, concept to fit out
- One company designs it, makes it and installs it
- The drawing you approve is the sign that goes up
- Indoor and outdoor handled by the same team
- The fit out, the vehicle graphics and the printing come from the same place
- Supplied artwork accepted, or the design handled for you
A designer, a sign maker and a fitter
- Three quotes, three contracts, three points of contact
- You carry the artwork between them
- Every gap between the trades is yours to close
- Nobody owns the finished frontage
- The interior gets specified by someone who never saw the sign
Artwork ready, or starting from scratch? Send it through either way.
How a shopfront job runs
Four steps. Ring us or send the details of the premises and we take it from there.
1. Get in touch
Ring 09 415 6849, or email the address of the premises and what you want the sign to say.
2. Your artwork, or our design
Send print ready artwork and we work to it. If there is none, our designers start at concept.
3. The sign gets made
Any size, any format, any material, built for either an indoor or an outdoor application.
4. We install it
We supply and install. Saturday can be used for installations depending on the job, which helps if you would rather not shut midweek.
What end to end actually covers
You do not have to buy all of it. Plenty of jobs are one sign and nothing else. But when a frontage is handed over finished, this is the list it came off.
- Concept and design, or your supplied artwork used as it is
- Logo design, if the business does not have one yet
- Signage in any size, any format and any material
- Indoor and outdoor applications
- Supply and installation by our own team
- Light boxes, window frosting and graphics, footpath signage, interior and exterior building signage
- Shop, store and office fit out with branded equipment, fixtures and signage
- Printing to match: business cards, brochures, flyers, posters, banners and pull up banners
No job is too small
One frosted glass panel, or a single sign for the footpath, is a perfectly normal job for us. Nothing here has a minimum size.
Your artwork, or ours
We are comfortable working with supplied artwork. If you have none, our designers take it from concept instead. Either way is a normal starting point.
Vinyl comes back off
Wrapped graphics can be positioned nearly anywhere and removed without damage to the underlying paintwork, which is why so much shopfront work is vinyl.
No job is too small. Get yours priced.
Questions people ask before ordering a shopfront sign
Almost certainly. We deliver signage solutions in any size, any format and any material, for indoor and outdoor applications, so an awkward frontage usually means choosing a different format rather than settling for a smaller sign. Ring us with the address and tell us what you are looking at.
No. We are comfortable working with supplied artwork, and we also offer a complete end to end service from concept to fit out. Logo design and design work are part of what we do, so you can start with nothing more than the name above the door.
Yes. No job is too small. A single frosted glass panel or one sign for the footpath is a perfectly normal job for us.
Wrapped graphics can be positioned nearly anywhere and removed without damage to the underlying paintwork. That is one of the reasons vinyl gets used so widely on shopfronts and on vehicles.
We supply and install. Our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, and Saturday can be used for installations depending on the job, which helps if you would rather not shut the shop in the middle of the week.
Yes. We supply and install signage and display solutions for indoor as well as outdoor applications, and we fit out shops, stores and offices with branded equipment, fixtures and signage.
We also do vehicle graphics and wrapping, and printing: business cards, brochures, flyers, posters, banners and pull up banners. Same company, so the frontage, the van and the menu can all match.
We are at 133 Wairau Road in Glenfield, with the entrance off Currys Lane, and we offer a full suite of signage services throughout the Auckland region.
Send us your shopfront
The street address and what you want the sign to say is enough to start. Ring the office, or leave your details and we will come back to you.
You can supply your own artwork, or we can design it for you. No job is too small.
