Printing and signs for work that has to hold up

We supply everyday print and sign items that businesses use on site, on the road and at events. That includes business cards, flyers, canvas prints, vinyl stickers, safety signs, banners, light boxes, motorbike decals, vehicle wraps, contra-vision and magnets. If you need something printed and ready for mounting, fitting or display, we can usually handle the full job from artwork check to finishing. In the Boland, signs have to cope with strong sun, wind, dust and coastal humidity in some areas, so we choose materials and fixing methods with that in mind.

Our work is practical. A restaurant may need menu boards and window frosting, a contractor may need branded vehicles and site boards, and a rider may need decals that stay neat after regular road use. We also help with reprints and updates when details change, which saves clients from having to replace everything from scratch. Small runs, repeat orders and one-off pieces all get the same attention, because the first print only helps if it still looks right after a few months outside.

  • Business cards and flyers for day-to-day marketing
  • Canvas prints and board mounting for offices, reception areas and displays
  • Safety signs, banners and site signage for public and work areas
  • Vehicle wraps, magnets and decals for cars, bakkies and bikes

Who we serve across Paarl, Wellington and the Boland

We work for small businesses, shops, farms, offices, schools, tradespeople, clubs and independent riders. Some clients come in with a full brief and finished artwork, while others need help tidying up logos, checking sizes or making sure text will print cleanly. We also do repeat work for teams that need the same item reprinted for another branch, a new vehicle, or a replacement sign after damage or wear.

Because we are based in Paarl, we are set up for clients in Wellington and throughout the wider Boland. Many orders come from Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Worcester, Malmesbury, Klapmuts and Simondium. That local reach matters when a sign needs measuring, a wrap needs fitting or a client needs to collect in person without losing a full day on the road. We know the pace of local business, and we keep communication direct and practical.

  • Paarl and Wellington printing and sign work
  • Stellenbosch and Franschhoek orders for shops, hospitality and events
  • Worcester, Malmesbury, Klapmuts and Simondium for trade and fleet work
  • Businesses that need fast updates, replacements or bulk sets

How we handle artwork, print and finishing

Good print starts before the machine runs. We check artwork, sizes, bleed, crop marks and image quality so the final piece comes out as it should. If a file needs correction, we sort out the basics before printing rather than wasting material on a poor setup. That saves time and keeps costs under control, especially on larger jobs. Leandri handles studio and prepress, so the layout and technical side gets proper attention before anything goes to production.

Our print and sign process covers large format printing, vinyl cutting, lamination, board mounting, banner finishing, sign installation, vehicle fitment and window frosting. For outdoor jobs, we choose the right finish for the site and the expected weather. For indoor display pieces, we focus on clean presentation and a neat edge. We also do sign refurbishment and updates when a board still has value but needs a fresh look or changed wording. A little preparation goes a long way, and it avoids costly mistakes.

  • Artwork checks before print
  • Vinyl cutting and lamination for durability
  • Board mounting and banner finishing
  • Installation and fitment for signs, windows and vehicles

Boland service area

From Paarl and Wellington, Catprints and Signs works across the Boland, including Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Worcester and Malmesbury.

Vehicle graphics, wraps and decals that work on the road

Vehicle branding is one of the quickest ways to turn daily travel into regular exposure. We make motorbike decals, vehicle wraps, contra-vision for rear windows and magnets for removable branding. Whether the job is a full wrap or a simple set of door graphics, the aim is the same: clear contact details, clean alignment and a finish that suits the vehicle. On working vehicles that spend time in the sun or on gravel roads, material choice and fitting quality matter just as much as the design.

Anele handles vehicle wrap installation with care, and that matters because a bad fit is easy to spot. We work around body lines, handles and curves so the final look stays neat. Contra-vision is useful where rear visibility needs to remain open, and magnets are handy for shared vehicles or short term campaigns. We can also refresh old branding when details change, so a fleet or single vehicle does not have to look outdated. If a vehicle is on the road every day, it should carry the business properly and not peel at the edges after a few weeks.

  • Full and partial vehicle wraps
  • Motorbike decals and graphic sets
  • Contra-vision for rear windows
  • Magnetic signs for flexible use

Local service with plain communication and steady follow-through

Clients come back because we keep things straightforward. Zelda handles sales and client care, so the line of communication stays clear from first enquiry to final handover. Pieter Johannes van der Merwe, our Managing Director, oversees the business with a practical eye on timing, quality and service. Ruan manages sign fabrication, and Mihlali runs the wide format print operation, which means the shop floor and the finishing side stay coordinated. In a small business setting, that kind of coordination saves time and avoids crossed wires.

We are used to the real conditions that affect printing in the Boland. Load-shedding can interrupt schedules, so planning, staging and communication matter. Coastal humidity can affect certain materials if they are not handled properly. Outdoor signs need to cope with sun and wind, and some municipal environments have their own rules about placement or size. We try to keep clients informed where those details matter, instead of leaving them to find out after the job is done. It is a practical way to work, and it keeps the process calm.

  • Clear updates from enquiry to collection or installation
  • Workflows suited to load-shedding and changing schedules
  • Advice on outdoor durability and site conditions
  • Support for signage where local rules may apply

Established in 2008 and still focused on useful print work

Catprints and Signs has been serving the Boland since 2008. Over the years we have handled a wide mix of jobs, from simple flyer runs to branded vehicle work and permanent signage. That experience shows in the way we plan each order, choose materials and handle finishing. Pieter Johannes van der Merwe has guided the business from the start, and the team has grown with the needs of local clients rather than chasing trends for the sake of it. The result is a shop that understands what people actually need from print and signs.

Our long service also means we know how to handle repeat business properly. A client who returns for a reprint or an updated sign should not have to explain the whole job from the beginning every time. We keep records, measurements and practical notes where needed, which helps with matching old work or making changes quickly. For many clients, that consistency is the main reason they stay with us. They know what they are getting, and they know the finished piece will do the job.

If you need printing or signage in Paarl, Wellington or anywhere across the Boland, send us your details through the enquiry form on our contact page. We will help with the next step, whether that is artwork, a new sign, a vehicle fitment or a straightforward reprint.
