Wall graphics, vinyl lettering and decals

Words, logos and pictures for your walls

A wall graphic puts your message on a wall where people will see it. In an office, this might be the logo behind reception, the company values along a corridor, or a funny line in the kitchen. Office walls we have done say Welcome to work, What’s cooking, and First I drink coffee, then I do things.

In a shop or cafe, it is usually a feature wall with a picture or a theme. One example is the green camper van on an open road at Fresh Stop in Airport City.

Cut lettering or printed graphics

There are two main ways to put graphics on a wall. The first is cut vinyl lettering. We cut it from solid-colour vinyl, so only the letters stay on the wall, with no background. It suits words, simple logos and clean shapes.

The second is printed graphics. We print them in full colour on self-adhesive vinyl. Then we cut them to shape or trim them to the wall. This means they can show photos, colour gradients and detailed artwork. The heritage timeline at Piket Implemente uses large black and white photos from the 1940s to the 1980s.

How we size graphics to your wall

We work from the width and height of your wall and a photo taken straight on. We scale the design to fit the wall without stretching it. We also look at furniture, light switches, doors and windows. People cannot read lettering that is hidden behind a couch or a coffee machine. We plan the design around these things and show you the layout on your wall before we cut anything.

We also put graphics on ceilings. In the office refit in our gallery, we printed a geometric pattern on the ceiling panels and a flowing line graphic along the wall. We planned both as one design.

Which walls are suitable

Vinyl sticks best to smooth, clean, firm paint. Fresh paint needs time to cure first. Vinyl does not stick properly to rough plaster, flaking paint or damp walls. If you are not sure, send a photo and we will tell you if your wall is ready.

A vector logo gives the sharpest edges. Our artwork guidelines explain the file types. For a printed design that covers a whole wall from edge to edge, see custom wallpaper and wall murals.
