Built to Last: What Makes Great Commercial and Industrial Signs – And What NBS Signmakers Gets Right

When it comes to commercial and industrial signs, it’s not just about making a good first impression—it’s about making a lasting one. At NBS Signmakers, we know that a great sign does more than identify a business or site. It speaks for your brand, safety standards, and long-term vision.

Whether it’s a towering pylon sign on a busy road, durable directional signs in a mine site, or crisp corporate branding at a business entrance—your signage needs to work hard, stand strong, and withstand the test of time.

So what exactly makes a great commercial or industrial signage? Here's a closer look at what we get right—and how we deliver signs that are truly built to last.


Smart, Functional Design That Makes an Impact

We believe that functionality and style can go hand-in-hand. A sign should never just be a slab of information. It should serve its purpose clearly, while also reflecting the professionalism and personality of the brand it represents.

At NBS Signmakers, our team of experienced signmakers and signwriters collaborates with clients to create signage that is:

  • Readable, clear, and attention-grabbing
  • Strategically designed for its environment
  • Fully compliant with Australian Standards and site regulations
  • Tailored to suit your brand and visual identity

From road signs to event banners, every detail is considered. Because great signage starts with great design.


Premium Materials That Withstand WA’s Harshest Environments

Durability isn’t optional—it’s essential. That’s why we only use industry-grade, weather-resistant materials that stand the test of time in WA’s unique climate.

We regularly work with:

  • Marine-grade aluminium and stainless steel
  • 0.8mm Colourbond for box-edge signage
  • Class 1 and Diamond Grade Reflective Vinyl for visibility and safety
  • UV-stabilised vinyls and laminates for long-lasting prints

Our signs are built tough, whether they’re facing the Pilbara heat, roadside wind tunnels, or high-impact industrial zones.


Precision Fabrication with In-House Expertise

With state-of-the-art tools and local manufacturing, we control every stage of production to ensure consistency, quality, and attention to detail.

We offer:

  • Digital printing
  • CNC and laser cutting
  • Powder coating
  • Box-edge and flat panel fabrication
  • Custom bracketry, posts, and fixings

By keeping everything in-house, we maintain tight quality control and fast turnaround—so your signage is ready when you need it, and reliable when it matters most.

This control over the entire process means consistent quality from start to finish. Whether it’s a one-off install or a fleet of signs for a large project, you can expect precision, consistency, and professionalism.

We’re more than your regular Karratha signwriters—we’re your signage partner.

  • Sign design and consultation

Installation That’s Safe, Efficient, and Built to Stay Put

What’s the point of a high-quality sign if it’s not installed properly? At NBS Signmakers, we know installation is just as important as design and fabrication—especially for large-scale or remote industrial sites.

  • On-site assessments and site-specific engineering (where required)

The result? Signs that stay where they’re meant to.


Safety, Compliance, and Professional Accountability

For commercial and industrial clients, signage is often tied to compliance, liability, and workplace safety. We take that responsibility seriously.

NBS Signmakers ensures your signage complies with:

  • AS/NZS standards
  • Mining and construction site regulations
  • Workplace health and safety guidelines
  • Traffic and road authority specifications

We offer detailed documentation, sign-off procedures, and even help clients through council or site approvals when needed. It’s part of our commitment to professional integrity and client peace of mind.
