Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about signage and vehicle wraps in Adelaide.
Signage
How much does a shop sign cost in Adelaide?
The cost of a shop sign can vary quite a bit depending on a few key factors, so there isn’t a single fixed price. Things that influence the final cost include, Size of the sign, Materials used, Design complexity, Illumination & Installation and access requirements. For an accurate price, it’s best to request a quote based on your specific needs and location.
Do I need council approval for my sign?
Only for exterior signage. The requirements vary by council area but the rule of thumbs is if you already have a sign then you can upgrade it as long as the size and type of sign remians the same. Many business signs require development approval under South Australia’s planning rules, especially if they’re large, illuminated, or structurally fixed. Some minor signage may be exempt, but there are still rules around size, placement, and safety, so it’s best to check with us first. We can take care of develpoment application and engineering for you.
How long does a shopfront sign take?
Standard shopfront signage takes 5 to 10 business days from design approval to installation. Illuminated signs and 3D fabricated letters typically take 2 to 3 weeks. We can arrange rush jobs if you have a tight deadline.
Can you match my existing branding?
Absolutely. We work from your existing brand guidelines, logos and colour specifications to ensure your signage matches your branding perfectly. If you don't have a style guide, our in-house design team can help create a cohesive look.

A quality vehicle wrap installed by Signlab will last 4 to 5 years in Adelaide's climate. We use premium cast vinyl that resists UV fading, which is important given the harsh South Australian sun. Every wrap comes with our unrivaled 36 month warranty.
Can a wrap be removed without damaging the paint?
Yes. We use premium vehicle wrap vinyl which is designed to be removed cleanly without damaging your vehicle's paint. This makes wraps a great option for leased vehicles or if you want to update your branding down the track. The wrap should be removed with 3-4 years of installation to allow the wrap to be removed without issues.
