Signs & Large Format Print
Illustrative visualisationA community centre or library lives by its programme. A concert, an exhibition, an author talk, half-term activities, sign-ups for classes – every event has to be announced, often in several places at once: in the noticeboard case, on the fence, at the school, in the shop and on Facebook. On top of that the budget is usually set a year ahead, and the invoice has to match the line in the plan.
In our experience the biggest savings come from repetition. One poster template where you change only the title and date. One fence banner with a replaceable bottom strip. A roll-up banner with the centre’s general offer that goes to every fête. Institutions also often run projects funded by EU or national programmes – then there are [information boards and posters](/produkty/tablice-unijne-i-dotacyjne) that follow the guidelines of the programme in question.
1. Announcing events
A poster is still the cheapest way to reach people who aren’t online much – older people and parents of small children. In a small town a dozen posters in shops, the school and the health centre do more than a paid post. For recurring events a banner for the fence or facade, put up every year, pays off.
- A3, A2 and B1 event posters→For concerts, shows, class sign-ups and school holiday activities. For short runs we print digitally, so 10 posters is a normal order.
- Banner for the fence or facade→Town festival, fair, arts festival. A 3 × 1 m banner is 3 m² × approx. €11–13, so approx. €35–40 net depending on material.
- Leaflets and the monthly programme→A folded leaflet with the whole term’s classes sits in schools and the town hall. DL leaflet, 1,000 pcs approx. €90 net.
2. Building and room signage
In community centres classes run in several rooms, often on different floors, and parents bring their child for the first time. In a library, readers look for a section, the reading room, the toilets and the exit. Good signage means a board at the entrance listing the rooms, directions in the corridors and door signs in one style.
- Door signs for rooms and studios→Room name, number, sometimes the timetable in a replaceable pocket. Acrylic on stand-offs, or PVC if the budget is tight.
- Entrance board and directional signs→A list of rooms and sections, arrows to the cloakroom, reading room and lift. Designed together with the building plan.
- Section and shelf signs in the library→Children’s books, non-fiction, crime, periodicals. Large, clear signs above the shelves cut search time.
- Rules and opening hours at the entrance→The institution supplies the wording; we print it on board that lasts for years. For an outside entrance, Dibond is best.
3. Interiors: children’s area, reading room, foyer
Bare walls in the children’s corner or the foyer are easy to transform with graphics. A full-wall illustration, quotations on the reading room walls, a map of the region in the foyer – these are things people photograph and post online. In rooms where children touch the walls, we choose a washable material.
- Wall mural for the children’s corner→A full-wall illustration turns an ordinary room into a space for little ones. The vinyl version wipes clean after art sessions.
- Lettering and quotations on walls→Letters cut from vinyl, with no background. They look painted on, and fitting takes an hour.
- Printed acoustic panels in the rehearsal room→Reverberation is tiring in music and dance rooms. A panel with a graphic quietens the room and decorates it at the same time.
4. Outdoor events, fêtes, town festivals
In summer the community centre goes outdoors. For the open-air stage and the institution’s stand you want a set that one person can put up and that lasts several seasons. You buy the frame once and change the graphics when the logo or slogan changes.
- Printed gazebo for the centre’s stand→Sign-up point, children’s workshops, selling publications. A 3 × 3 m gazebo with full print costs from approx. €750 net.
- Roll-up banner with your classes→It stands in the foyer all year and goes to the fête in June. A 85 × 200 cm roll-up banner is from approx. €55 net.
- Sign for a grant-funded project→Refurbishment, room equipment, a new stage. Dimensions and elements follow the programme guidelines, so we ask for them before designing the sign.
5. Print for classes and competitions
Small print is most often ordered at the last minute – certificates at the end of a competition, bookmarks for a library night, a post-competition anthology. For these it helps to keep templates in our studio; then changing the text takes a few minutes.
- Certificates, thank-you cards and diplomas→Personalised with names from a spreadsheet list. We print digitally, so even a dozen copies is no problem.
- Bookmarks with the library logo→A small item readers take home that reminds them of the return date. The magnetic version grips the page.
- Local history books and competition anthologies→Residents’ memories, village history, winners’ poems. A5 hardback book, 100 copies approx. €700 net.

From our experience — what to watch out for
- Make one poster template for the whole year. You change the title, date and photo, and people recognise your posters from a distance.
- On a recurring banner (town festival, arts festival) don’t put the year in the main graphic. Put the date on a separate strip, which is cheaper to reprint.
- For an EU-funded project sign, check the programme guidelines and the grant agreement first. Requirements differ between programmes.
- For the children’s corner choose a washable mural. You will see the difference after the first painting workshop.
- For orders paid from a budget, give us the invoice details and the date by which it must be issued straight away. We will fit production around it.
