Healthcare, Medical and Aged Care Signage

Can you create privacy frosting for consulting rooms?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

This is where a photo is incredibly useful. Send us the location or item you want signed, along with your logo and approximate dimensions, and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

Can you produce wall graphics for calming healthcare environments?

Yes, there are more environmentally responsible choices, and this is exactly why we developed our ENVIROEdge approach. Depending on the application we can look at recycled-content or recyclable materials, lower-impact print processes, reusability, energy-efficient illumination and designing components so they can be updated rather than discarded.

I also don’t like making a ‘green’ claim just because one material sounds better. If an alternative performs badly and needs replacing twice as often, that may not be the better outcome. We look at lifespan, performance, waste and practicality together.

Can you update an existing directory without replacing the whole system?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Can healthcare signage be designed for frequent room or staff changes?

Yes. This is where having the design, production and installation thinking connected makes a difference. We can work from existing brand guidelines or, if you only have a logo, build the signage direction from there.

My view is that good signage should look like it belongs to the business and the site. We don’t want to force the same construction onto every brand just because it is easy for us to make.

Can you create car park and external directional signage?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Can you work in an operating hospital or aged care facility?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Can installations be staged to minimise disruption?

Yes. We can manage the installation as part of the job, and we prefer to think about installation while the signage is being designed rather than at the end.

Access, fixing surfaces, power, working heights, trading hours and site rules can all affect the best solution. A sign that looks great in a proof but is unnecessarily difficult to install is not a well-resolved sign.

Can you match existing signage throughout a facility?

Yes. This is where having the design, production and installation thinking connected makes a difference. We can work from existing brand guidelines or, if you only have a logo, build the signage direction from there.

Can you manage signage across multiple healthcare sites?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

What signage does a medical or healthcare facility need?

It depends on the application, and this is one of those questions where seeing the actual site makes the answer much better. We look at visibility, brand, materials, expected life, access and budget before recommending the final solution.

If it were my project, I would start by getting the basics right rather than adding complexity for the sake of it. Send us a photo and the key dimensions and we can talk you through the options in plain English.

Can you work with architects, builders and facility managers?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Why is wayfinding especially important in healthcare environments?

Yes, there are more environmentally responsible choices, and this is exactly why we developed our ENVIROEdge approach. Depending on the application we can look at recycled-content or recyclable materials, lower-impact print processes, reusability, energy-efficient illumination and designing components so they can be updated rather than discarded.
