Hoarding graphics
Printed hoarding for development sites, specified to survive a full programme outdoors rather than a single season, and installed to the setting out drawing. See our guide for more detail.
The largest advertisement on the street
Site hoarding is often the biggest printed surface a developer will ever buy, and for the length of the build it is the scheme marketing. It also has to satisfy the highway authority, keep the public out and still look presentable in month eleven.
The specification decision is substrate and film. Anything paper faced fails within a season. Laminated cast vinyl on exterior grade ply, or direct to substrate print, lasts the programme.
Before you order
Where hoarding fronts a public highway the local authority licence carries conditions on projection, lighting and maintenance, and those conditions often specify how quickly graffiti or damage must be made good. Worth confirming before artwork is signed off rather than after.

Specification
Exterior grade ply
Printed vinyl laminated onto ply. The standard for a full programme.
Direct to substrate
Printed straight onto board. Fewer layers to lift at the edges.

Common questions
What is the best material for site hoarding graphics?
Printed vinyl laminated onto exterior grade ply, or direct to substrate print, for anything expected to last a full programme. Foamex and Correx suit short duration or internal hoarding only.
Do hoarding graphics need a licence?
Where the hoarding fronts a public highway the local authority licence carries conditions on projection, lighting and maintenance, often including how quickly damage or graffiti must be made good.
Can hoarding be cleaned rather than reprinted?
Yes, with an anti graffiti laminate specified from the start, which lets tagging be cleaned off rather than triggering a reprint.
Hoarding to dress?
Send the run length and the programme dates. We will price against the dates rather than a standard lead time.
