Frontage strategy
Choose signs by how customers approach your shopfront.
Most Sydney tenancies need one main identification sign, then supporting signage for footpath visibility, the glass and after-dark presence.

Four site factors move shopfront pricing more than the sign itself. Confirming them early keeps the quote accurate.
Access and height
Awning height, footpath conditions, parking and whether the install needs an EWP or traffic management.
Power for illuminated signs
Lightboxes and LED letters need a power feed at the sign position — an existing feed makes the install simpler.
Approvals
Landlord, centre management, strata or council conditions can shape sign sizes, finishes and install timing.
Removal of existing signage
Old fascias, cabinets and film may need removal and disposal before the new signage goes up.
Seen from the street
Fascia signs, building panels or dimensional letters identify the business from a distance and passing traffic.
Seen from the footpath
Under-awning lightboxes, projecting signs and window graphics work for pedestrians approaching along the strip.
Seen at the door
Door decals, opening hours, frosting and entry graphics finish the frontage where customers make the final decision.
Seen after dark
LED letters, lightboxes and illuminated panels keep the shopfront working outside trading hours.

Frequently asked questions
Common Sydney shopfront questions.
Straight answers to the questions that usually affect scope, timing and approvals.
Most shopfronts need one main fascia or building sign, then supporting signage chosen by approach: an under-awning lightbox for footpath traffic, window graphics for the glass, and LED or backlit letters for evening trade.
Most standard shop front signs don't require council approval, but larger pylons, illuminated signs in some areas and building identification signs often do. We can prepare DA documentation and liaise with your local council when it is required.
Yes. Printing, laser cutting, CNC routing and fabrication happen in our Botany factory, and installation is carried out by Platinum Signs crews across Sydney metro.
Often, yes. If the cabinet or structure is sound, a face change or fascia reface can refresh the shopfront for less than a full replacement. Send condition photos and we will scope the smallest work that fixes the problem.
Most Sydney metro installs are completed same-week from artwork sign-off. Complex multi-sign frontages are typically 2–3 weeks from order to installed.
Shopping centres, strata buildings and landlords often require drawings, dimensions and install method approval. Send any tenancy rules early and we will prepare the documentation they ask for.
