Signs & Large Format Print
Illustrative visualisationA vet practice often operates from a house, a retail unit or a rural building on a main road. Pet owners arrive by car, sometimes stressed and at night, when the dog has eaten something it shouldn't. So the signage must be visible from a moving car and readable after dark, and the out-of-hours phone number must be big.
The second thing that sets a vet apart from other surgeries is a waiting room full of patients who can't stand each other. Separating space for cats and dogs with floor and wall graphics is simple and means less stress for everyone. Then there's the pet food and accessories corner, and the vehicle for farm visits. Vets are also bound by their professional body's code of conduct, including rules on promoting services. Before ordering advertising slogans, check them against the code or ask your veterinary regulator – the name, services, hours and phone number raise no doubts.
1. From the street and at the fence
A driver has a few seconds to notice the practice. By a road, a projecting sign at right angles to the carriageway works better than a flat sign on the wall. If the practice is behind a fence, a fence banner is the cheapest visible information.
- Double-sided illuminated projecting sign→Visible from both directions of travel and at night. From approx. €300 net with bracket; the graphic can be replaced later without changing the structure.
- Fence banner with the emergency number→Coated 510 g banner lasts 2–3 years. On wide-mesh fencing choose a black-back banner so it doesn't show through.
- Sign at the gate→Name, surgery hours, out-of-hours phone. Dibond with UV print doesn't rust or warp in the sun.
- Door and window graphics→Hours and 'dogs on leads please' on the door glass. On treatment room windows, frosted film or full coverage.
2. Home-visit vehicle
A large-animal vet drives round farms every day. A branded vehicle outside the cowshed is seen by the neighbours, and that works better than a leaflet. For a private car we make magnets you take off after work.
- Company vehicle livery→Cast vinyl with laminate withstands car washes and mud from farm tracks. The sides and rear with name and phone are enough; no need to wrap the whole vehicle.
- Magnets for a private car→0.6 mm magnetic sheet, approx. €21–32 net per m². Take them off at weekends, and before an automatic car wash.
3. Waiting room: dogs on one side, cats on the other
A cat in a carrier next to a barking dog is stressful for the animal and the owner. We separate the zones with colour and graphics on the floor and wall – without moving any walls.
- Floor zone marking→Vinyl with R10 anti-slip laminate, e.g. paw prints leading to the cat area. Copes with wet paws and frequent mopping.
- Waiting room wall graphics→Animals, dog and cat silhouettes, zone information. Air-release vinyl goes onto a smooth wall without bubbles.
- Consulting room door signs→Consulting room, treatment room, X-ray, reception. PVC or acrylic, approx. €21–60 net per m² depending on material.
4. Pet food and accessories corner
Many practices sell prescription diets and treatments. The shelf looks tidier with labels and prices instead of handwritten notes.
- Shelf price strips→A strip with your logo and space for the price. Synthetic paper doesn't go soggy when someone wipes the shelf with a wet cloth.
- Wobblers by seasonal products→A reminder about tick treatments in spring or worming. UV-printed HIPS, cheap and light.
5. For pet owners
A dog owner comes back every few months: vaccinations, worming, check-ups. Print that stays at home reminds them of the date and the phone number.
- Vaccination reminder cards→A business card with a field for the next appointment date and the out-of-hours number. 1,000 cost approx. €25 net.
- Fridge magnet with your number→The emergency number should be where people look for it at night. We cut magnets in any shape.
- Preventive care leaflets→Ticks, puppy vaccination schedule, microchipping. A folded DL leaflet in a run of 1,000 costs approx. €90 net.
- Wall calendar with patient photos→Photos of clients' dogs and cats, with their consent. Hangs at home all year and keeps the practice in mind.

From our experience — what to watch out for
- Make the emergency phone number bigger than the practice name. At night nobody looks for the name, only the number.
- Fix a banner to mesh fencing with a cable tie through every eyelet and use a black-back banner. Otherwise it tears at the corners in the wind and shows through in the sun.
- Take the car magnet off every few days and wipe the panel underneath. Moisture and grit under the magnet dull the paint.
- Floor graphics only with anti-slip laminate. An ordinary sticker becomes a slide under wet paws.
- Only use clients' pet photos for a calendar or wall with the owner's written consent.
