What is Hoarding Signage?

Hoarding signage is created from robust materials, with printed panels that communicate project details and brand messages. These boards serve multiple purposes: securing the site, preventing unauthorized access and promoting the brand or project. At its core, hoarding signage is about turning a necessary barrier into an effective marketing tool.

We use top-quality products to meet service expectations and enhance impact. Our production facility uses advanced large-format printing technology to create high-quality signage that boosts brand visibility. That means your printed hoarding panels do their job—and look great doing it.

Printed hoarding panels provide advertising space while enhancing safety and security around construction sites. Whether it's site hoarding boards or printed site hoardings, the goal is to create a visual statement that resonates with viewers and maintains a professional appearance throughout the project.

Key Benefits of Hoarding Signage

High-quality graphics on hoarding boards grab attention and turn a simple barrier into a powerful promotional tool. That's what you want from your construction barriers. Hoarding graphics inform the public and keep them engaged throughout the project. Safety and marketing go hand in hand.

Hoarding signage prevents unauthorized access, keeping your site secure. Durable and strong hoarding board materials keep the site secure and promote the brand. And because hoarding panels can be reused, they're a cost-effective marketing option that generates additional revenue.

Aesthetic hoarding signage helps maintain positive community relations by reducing visual disturbances. Printed hoarding boards transform ordinary spaces into marketing opportunities, increasing visibility and impact. That's what you want from your construction project.

Materials Used in Hoarding Signage

The materials you choose for hoarding signage are vital for its effectiveness and longevity. Dibond and PVC foam are our top recommendations for hoarding boards.

Dibond and PVC foam panels feature UV-resistant coatings to withstand weather conditions. These coatings keep your printed hoarding signage looking vibrant even after prolonged exposure to the elements.

Dibond Hoarding Panels

Dibond panels are made from Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) and acm hoarding panels. They're ideal for long-term outdoor use, especially with a protective laminate that adds rust resistance. Dibond hoarding panels come in various sizes, including 8ft x 4ft and 10ft x 5ft, with custom sizes available to meet your project needs.

Protective laminates on Dibond panels enhance their longevity and add features like anti-graffiti coatings. That makes maintenance easier and more cost-effective. Durability, customization and ease of maintenance make Dibond an excellent choice for high-quality hoarding signage.

PVC Foam Hoarding Panels

PVC foam panels are lightweight and easy to handle. They come in multiple thickness options—2mm, 4mm and 6mm—catering to various project needs for both indoor and outdoor environments. That versatility supports a wide range of applications, from temporary barriers to long-term installations.

PVC foam panels are an attractive choice for budget-conscious consumers. They're lightweight, versatile and cost-effective.

Customizing Your Hoarding Design

Hoarding graphics turn construction barriers into effective marketing tools. Keeping brand visibility during construction is advantageous, maintaining public awareness throughout the project. Continuous exposure builds anticipation and interest in the upcoming development.

Integrating branding elements with informative content is where hoarding designs really come to life. That's where you want your project narrative to shine through. Customizable hoarding graphics can feature unique elements like die-cut shapes and specific color choices—that really make your brand stand out and communicate its message effectively.

Our graphic production services deliver high-quality hoarding designs that meet—and exceed—client expectations. And regulatory compliance. That's where Octink's in-house studio or your chosen design agency comes in. We offer customized design assistance to help you achieve a design that perfectly aligns with your brand's vision and project goals.

The Printing Process for Hoarding Signage

The materials we use for hoarding signage are premium, UV-resistant and built to last. That means your signage will look vibrant and professional for a long time. We print hoarding signage at the highest quality setting possible, so you get clear visuals that grab attention and effectively convey your message.

We employ advanced printing and laminating technology to produce high-quality hoarding panels. Site hoarding boards are printed at 1440dpi resolution, so you get crisp images and sharp details. That's what guarantees your signage will look professional and impactful.

Installation Services for Hoarding Signage

Before we install your hoarding panels, we assess the site to determine the exact dimensions you need. Then we manufacture the panels according to those specifications. That meticulous process ensures each panel fits perfectly and serves its purpose.

Our professional installation services offer options for both in-ground and on-ground mounting of hoarding panels. Our CSCS-certified installers ensure the safety and quality of your hoarding installation. Additional services like painting and lighting can really make your signage stand out—and be more effective.

Maintenance and Upkeep of Hoarding Signage

Regular maintenance is what keeps your hoarding signage looking its best over time. That includes prompt graffiti removal and timely updates to promotional content. We also check for damage and clean or repair as needed.

Health and safety regulations require hoardings to protect the public from hazards like falling debris. Regular checks and assessments of your hoarding signage identify any damage and determine if cleaning or repairs are needed. Dibond panels are ideal for long-term outdoor use because they're strong and weather-resistant.

Weatherproofing measures protect your hoarding signage against the elements. That extends its lifespan. Hoarding signage may need more frequent maintenance in high-traffic areas due to increased exposure to weather and vandalism.

Planning Permission and Compliance

Construction hoardings are temporary barriers that encircle worksites to protect the public from construction-related hazards. Health and safety guidelines often require hoardings to protect both workers and the public. Hoarding installation is often required to adhere to health and safety regulations at construction sites.

Planning permission for hoardings is usually needed if they obstruct public areas or are near heritage sites. Hoardings over 2 meters in height often require planning permissions based on local regulations. Planning permission is typically required if a hoarding is intended to be up for more than 28 days.

Hoardings with advertising may require additional consent under the Town and Country Planning Act. Hoardings on private land that don't affect public access usually don't require planning permission.

Our construction site hoardings comply with health and safety regulations, including height and illumination standards. Planning permission is required for construction site hoardings, along with deemed consent as outlined in The Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007.
