A shop sign must fit the frontage, the artwork and the installation day

A bookshop replaces a faded exterior sign. Keep the measured size, material, design version, customer decision, manual print-file check and installation plan with the job, so the workshop knows which version it is making.

  1. Measurements belong to the job

    Product, material, width, height and fitting need sit with the sign order.

  2. Know which proof was approved

    Design versions and the recorded customer decision help avoid printing an outdated layout.

  3. Hand work to production

    Preflight records human checks; site, fitter and date are available for installation planning.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

A new sign for the bookshop

Fictional example: the owner wants a dark-blue wordmark above a narrow entrance.

  1. Measure the frontage

    A sign maker checks usable space, fixing surface and access before entering dimensions.

  2. Review the current proof

    The owner comments on a specific version; the shop records the decision and handles changes as a new review.

  3. Prepare making and fitting

    A specialist checks the print file, records the checklist and agrees material and fitting details.

The job has a clear version and plan; physical fixing and permissions still need separate review.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Open a sample order

    Use a fictional bookshop and measured dimensions from your own test.

  2. Try a proof and preflight

    Record a sample approval and results of a check you actually perform.

  3. Plan a trial installation

    Add sample site, fitter and date; note any unresolved surface or permit issue.

Questions before you start

Does the system inspect artwork automatically?
No. Preflight stores checklist results entered by staff; resolution, bleed, fonts and colour need a real inspection.
Does artwork approval permit fitting?
No. It covers that design version, while structure, access and any local consent need other checks.
Can a revised proof use the earlier approval?
Treat a revision as a new version and obtain a decision on what will actually be made.

Use a physical colour reference

Screen appearance alone cannot establish the final print colour.

Check the wall

Competent staff must assess fixing and site conditions.

Prepare a new shop sign

A shop orders a facade sign and still needs to approve its size and colour.

  1. Measure the mounting area on site.

  2. Agree the colour specification with the shop.

  3. Plan materials and an installation visit with the team.

Measurements, colour and date are recorded for the sign job.
