What file formats do you accept for hoarding graphics?

We accept Adobe Illustrator (.ai), Photoshop (.psd), InDesign (.indd), high-resolution PDF, EPS, and TIFF files. All artwork should be supplied at 150 DPI minimum at full print size, or 300 DPI at half scale. We also accept brand guideline packages and can adapt assets accordingly.

Can you design hoarding graphics from scratch?

Yes. If you have brand guidelines, campaign imagery, or even just a logo and colour palette, our design team can create a complete hoarding layout. We handle typography, layout composition, and visual storytelling tailored to the specific wall dimensions.

How does the proofing and approval process work?

After the initial layout, we provide a scaled PDF proof overlaid on a site photo so you can visualize the final result in context. Most clients approve within one round of revisions. We include up to two rounds of changes in our standard pricing.

Do you follow mall-specific brand guidelines?

Absolutely. Major mall operators like Westfield, Brookfield, Cadillac Fairview, and Simon Property Group each have specific hoarding standards. We maintain an internal reference library of these requirements and ensure every design is compliant before production.

What colour space should artwork be in?

All files should be supplied in CMYK colour space for accurate print reproduction. If you only have RGB assets, we'll handle the conversion and send you a soft proof showing any colour shifts before printing.

Our Hoarding Graphics Design Process

Every hoarding project starts with understanding your brand, your space, and your timeline. Here's how we move from brief to print-ready files — typically in 1–5 business days.

Brand Intake & Layout

We review your brand guidelines, campaign assets, and site survey data. Using precise wall measurements, we create a scaled layout that maximizes visual impact while respecting structural elements like doors, columns, and utility panels.

Artwork Preparation

Our prepress team prepares files at 150 DPI full-scale in CMYK, with proper bleed, safe zones, and panel breaks. We accept AI, PSD, PDF, EPS, and TIFF formats — or create original compositions from your brand toolkit.

Visual Proofing

Before production, you receive a photorealistic mockup showing your artwork overlaid on an actual site photo. This eliminates surprises and lets stakeholders approve with confidence. We include two rounds of revisions as standard.

Artwork specifications

Whether you're supplying finished artwork or starting from scratch, here's what we need:

Supplied Artwork

→ Formats: AI, PSD, PDF, EPS, or TIFF
→ Resolution: 150 DPI at full size or 300 DPI at 50%
→ Colour: CMYK (we convert RGB if needed)
→ Bleed: 2" on all edges
→ Fonts: outlined or packaged

Brand-Only Brief

→ Logo files (vector preferred)
→ Brand colour codes (Pantone, CMYK, or HEX)
→ Typography / font files
→ Campaign imagery or product photos
→ Copy / taglines to include

Mall compliance built in

Major mall operators enforce strict hoarding standards — from maximum graphic height to required "coming soon" messaging and fire safety clearances. Non-compliant graphics can delay store openings by weeks.

We maintain an internal compliance database covering operators like Westfield/Unibail-Rodamco, Simon Property Group, Brookfield Properties, Cadillac Fairview, and Oxford Properties. Every design we produce is pre-checked against the relevant standards before it reaches your inbox for approval.

This proactive approach means fewer revision cycles, faster approvals from mall management, and no last-minute surprises during installation. See our retail hoarding projects or get a free hoarding graphics quote.
