Window Signage and Graphics

Is window signage removable?

Yes. Most vinyl signage can be safely removed without damaging the glass, especially if applied correctly. Temporary materials like static cling or low-tack vinyl are easily removable. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

Do you offer installation services?

Absolutely as it’s a skill that’s hard to master & best left to the professionals. We handle installation services across major cities and regional areas of Australia with all production completed inhouse at Pooraka to ensure 100% brand compliance & consistency. DIY installation is possible for small decals. Installation quality matters, so we don’t treat that part as an afterthought.

Can I use window graphics for business promotions or sales?

Absolutely. Window signage is ideal for seasonal sales, new product launches, grand openings, or limited-time promotions. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

Can I customise my window signage design?

Yes. You can use your own branding, colours, logos, and messaging. Any of our 3 x fully qualified designers can assist with graphic design services if you need help creating your artwork. You don’t need finished artwork to start. Give us your logo, brand guidelines if you have them and the result you’re chasing; our design team can take it from there.

What are the legal or council requirements for window signage in Australia?

Requirements vary by local council. Some councils restrict the size or placement of signage—especially on heritage buildings or shopfronts. It’s best to check with your local council before installation if you are concerned, especially for significant coverage. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

What’s the difference between frosted vinyl and one-way vision?

Frosted vinyl provides privacy and a sleek, etched-glass look. Great for offices and clinics. One-way vision allows for full-colour graphics visible outside while maintaining visibility from inside. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

How much does window signage cost in Australia?

Costs vary based on size, design, and material: Small decals: From $100+ Full window wraps: From $300–$1,500+ One-way vision: Around $150–$500 per window As every job & window size is different – we will happily offer custom quotes based on your project but traditionally between $100 to $150 plus GST per m2 is typical pending the size of the windows, volume & material chosen. Treat those figures as a guide. Size, coverage, material, design and installation can move the final price, so we’d rather quote the actual project.

Can I apply window graphics inside the glass?

Yes. Inside-glass applications are possible for protection against weather and vandalism, we just need to make sure we print these in reverse. Please note that internal application may affect visibility slightly & can adjust colours pending any tint in the window. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

How do I maintain or clean window graphics?

Clean gently using a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges, high-pressure washers, or harsh chemicals, especially on printed or perforated films. If you’re unsure, send us a photo and a few details and we’ll tell you what we’d use if it were our own vehicle or premises.

How long does it take to produce and install window signage?

Production takes 3–7 business days, with installation typically completed within a day depending on size and location. Installation quality matters, so we don’t treat that part as an afterthought.

What is the best type of window signage for a shopfront?

There isn’t one universal best option. Tell us what you’re trying to achieve and send a photo; we’ll recommend the most practical solution rather than defaulting to the most expensive one.
