Post and Panel Signs

What are the main benefits of post and panel signage?

Highly visible and customisable
Cost-effective for large messaging
Quick to install
Flexible for short-term or long-term use
Can be relocated or updated easily

Our approach is to keep the recommendation practical: what will look right, perform properly and make sense for the budget.

How long do post and panel signs last?

Temporary signs: 6–12 months (e.g., corflute)
Permanent signs: 5–10+ years with proper maintenance
Laminated and UV-protected panels last longer in direct sunlight.

If you have a fixed opening, event or handover date, tell us upfront. We can then work backwards from the date rather than give you a generic lead time.

What materials are used in post and panel signs?

Panels: Aluminium composite panel (ACP), aluminium sheet, Colorbond®, acrylic, or corflute (for temporary use)
Posts: Powder-coated aluminium, galvanised steel, timber, or treated pine
Finishes: Digitally printed vinyl, UV laminate, direct print, or routed lettering

What maintenance is required?

Periodic cleaning to remove dirt and debris
Check posts and foundations annually for rust or movement
Re-apply graphics or replace panels if faded or vandalised

Can the signage be customised to match my brand?

Absolutely. Customisation options include:
