Signwriters in New Zealand
Top 5 rankings across New Zealand
Most signwriters in New Zealand do vehicle signwriting for cars, vans and utes alongside shopfront signs and banners, and the vehicle work is where the quotes vary most. Ask whether the price covers design, installation and removal of the old signage, and which grade of vinyl they use, since cast vinyl outlasts the cheaper calendered kind by years on a vehicle. A sign visible from the road has to meet your council's signage rules: in Auckland that is the Signs Bylaw 2022, which permits a business sign on your own premises within limits set by sign type and zone and requires approval for anything outside them, with penalties of up to $20,000.
