Who We Print For

Different customers need different kinds of print, signage and graphics. This section shows how Catprints and Signs supports local sectors, events and practical use cases across the Boland.

For shops, offices and day to day business use

Many of our jobs start with the basics that keep a business visible and organised. We print business cards, flyers, signage and branded graphics for customer facing spaces, reception areas, vehicle doors and counter displays. If you are opening, rebranding, or just need fresh printed material after a name or contact detail change, we can help with artwork checks, reprints and updates so the final result is clean and readable.

For towns like Paarl, Wellington, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, a good print choice often comes down to how busy the location is and whether the item will be handled often. Gloss cards suit sales handouts, while matt finishes can be easier to write on for forms and appointment cards. For window notices and indoor signs, we can advise on size, mounting and whether lamination will help in strong light or humidity.

  • Business cards and flyers for sales teams, front counters and local promotions
  • Directional signs, opening notices and internal information boards
  • Artwork checks, lamination and board mounting for a neater finish

For builders, farms and industrial sites

Outdoor sites need signage that stays readable in wind, sun and dust, and that can handle regular use. We supply safety signs, site boards, directional signs and durable vinyl graphics for workshops, depots and farm entrances across the Boland. In coastal humidity and summer heat, material choice matters, especially where signs are exposed to rain, cleaning chemicals or direct sun for long periods.

We also make practical items for contractors and site managers who need fast turnaround on notices, access signs, hazard warnings and vehicle markings. If a sign must be mounted in a controlled area, we can prepare it for installation and advise on sizes that are easy to read from a distance. Municipal rules, traffic visibility and site access all play a part, so it helps to brief us clearly from the start.

  • Safety signs for workshops, yards and construction areas
  • Temporary and long term site boards
  • Reprints and updates when contact details, access instructions or staff names change

For vehicles, riders and mobile advertising

Vehicles are one of the most useful ways to advertise locally because they work on the road and at the client site. We fit wraps, decals, magnets and contra-vision graphics for cars, bakkies, vans, trailers and motorbikes. For riders and drivers in Paarl, Wellington and surrounding towns, a well planned vehicle layout needs to suit the body shape, door gaps and daily use so that the message stays clear without getting in the way.

We handle design, print and fitment, whether you need full coverage or a smaller branded panel. Magnets are handy for shared vehicles, while contra-vision can keep rear windows usable from inside. Motorbike decals need careful sizing and the right adhesive for vibration, heat and repeated washing.

  • Vehicle wraps and partial wraps for service fleets and delivery vehicles
  • Magnets for temporary branding or dual use vehicles
  • Motorbike decals and window graphics for riders on the move

For events, launches and promotions

Markets, open days, sports events and local launches all need print that is quick to set up and easy to spot. Banners, light boxes, vinyl stickers and printed boards can be used for staging, registration points, sponsor recognition and special offers. When there is limited time before an event, keeping the artwork simple and the message direct usually gives the best result.

In busy places like towns, schools, clubs and farm venues, the setup must also suit the space. A banner that works in a hall might not be the best choice for outdoor wind, and a sticker that looks fine on a file screen can be too small once it is on a door or crate. We help customers choose formats that match the venue, viewing distance and lighting.

  • Event banners, sponsor boards and directional signage
  • Light boxes for longer term visibility after dark
  • Vinyl stickers for giveaways, packaging and promotional use

For retail windows, interiors and customer spaces

Shops and customer spaces often need graphics that do more than advertise. They need to guide people, protect privacy, show trading hours and support the look of the space. We produce window frosting, contra-vision, wall graphics and mounted signs for offices, salons, showrooms and small retail stores. These items can be useful where sun control, privacy or clearer front-of-house branding is needed.

Window treatments also matter in smaller premises where layout is tight. Frosting can give a cleaner look without making the room feel closed off, and contra-vision can still allow some visibility from inside. For premises that get strong afternoon sun or repeated cleaning, we can recommend finishes that hold up better over time.

For community groups, schools and local organisations

Clubs, schools, churches and community groups often need practical print that can be used again and again. That might be a notice board for the hall, a banner for a fundraiser, or a set of signs for a sports day or field event. Because these jobs usually have a clear deadline and a fixed budget, we focus on simple layouts, proper sizing and clear wording.

We also help with replacement signs and updates when details change, which is common for committees and annual events. If the same board or banner is needed each year, we can keep the artwork consistent so future updates are quicker. That saves time and avoids mistakes when there are several people involved in the approval process.

Questions we get asked

How do I know which print option suits my job best?

Start with where it will be used, how long it must last and how far away people will read it. Indoor cards and flyers need different materials from site boards, wraps or signs exposed to sun and rain.

Can you help if I only need a small update to existing artwork?

Yes. We handle reprints and updates for contact changes, pricing changes, seasonal messages and refreshed layouts, so you do not have to start from scratch every time.

Do you work with customers outside Paarl?

Yes. We serve Wellington, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Worcester, Malmesbury, Klapmuts and Simondium, with enquiries handled through the contact page form.
