Guide for Signage Installation in Singapore – How to DIY?

Some business owners prefer to DIY and manage the installation of a signage by themselves, in order to save costs. Here's a guideline on how to install it.

Business signs are the easiest way for your customers to spot you from the street. Undoubtedly, it’s a must if you are starting a new business, or undergoing rebranding for your business.

Over the period of 10 years of our signage business, we have met various types of customers.  Some business owners trusted us with the process of signage making and installation, because they figured that it’s best to leave it with the professionals and spend their time on other business aspects. However, there are also some who would like to save some costs and do the installation themselves. If you’re the latter one, make sure you read on!

Before learning how to install a signage, here are some tips on choosing WHERE to install your signage. 

  1. Check with BCA to find out if you will need a license for the signage or outdoor ads.
  2. Place indoor signs at eye level or at other locations to which your eye is naturally drawn. This is to ensure maximum visibility.
  3. Calculate the view distance for the sign. You want to make sure that it will be visible from building or street entrance.
  4. Make sure that there is no obstacles like trees or street poles blocking your signs.
  5. For signboard, place it at the optimal height. Generally, the higher the placement, the more angles you should be able to view it from.
  6. The best way to test a location is is to place with a proof that is made to scale at the exact spot and angle to check its legibility.
