We’ve got another ‘feather in our cap’ so to speak. 🧢
A fancy new cap heat press has expanded our toolbox when it comes to our garment-printing capabilities.
Using direct-to-film graphics printed in-house, we whipped up these complimentary caps for Road Transport Logistics Ltd, designed to match the graphics we recently applied to their Clinton Waipahi Holdings Ltd and West Otago Transport Ltd rigs.
Both truck cabs received fresh signage and pinstriping, all applied by the crew in our drive-through factory.
From trucks to tees … and now caps! Oh yeah!
Thanks to the team at Road Transport Logistics Ltd for trusting us with another project. We love seeing the whole package come together ... from head to tow!

Another rig looking swish! 👌
Our team recently completed the graphics on this Scania truck for DES Ltd, adding their burgundy stripes and logo for a sharp, professional finish.
We also wrapped the front grille using Hexis Candyfence carbon fibre paint protection film – a first for our team and rapt with the result.
Not only does it give the grille a seriously cool carbon fibre look, it also provides an extra layer of protection against stone chips and everyday road wear.
Good looks + serious protection = a winning combination.
Thanks to DES Ltd for trusting the Creation Signs team with another great project!
From concept to creation, we make your brand stand out on the road.

Evolving is vital when it comes to business.
We enjoyed working with Villas Motel Invercargill recently to bring their new brand to life on site.
Originally known as Homestead Villa Motels, the rebrand to Villas Motel features a new logo developed by the ILT team.
Our Creation crew produced new signage for the reception desk and entrance using 6mm acrylic for the 3D logos, flash new lightbox panels on Dee and Avenal streets, together with a traditional painted logo on the side of the building.
The end result looks smart and professional.
Need a revamp? Give us a holler.
We’ve had a little glow-up! ✨ Huge thanks to the team at Creation Signs for making us look this good! 👏

Toot toot! 🚗
We’re proud to have recently wrapped this vehicle for Inclusive Activity Murihiku – creating a mobile showcase for the incredible work they do across Southland.
Hard to believe this car was maroon when it rolled into our workshop! After the overall transformation, signage was then applied to sides, back and bonnet.
The new graphics brings their brand to life while giving a shout-out to the amazing funders, sponsors and partners who help make inclusive sport and recreation opportunities possible for people with disabilities.
From bold branding to the finer details, we love creating vehicle graphics that get your organisation noticed wherever the road takes you.
A big thank you to the team at Inclusive Activity Murihiku for trusting our Creation crew with the job. Keep an eye out for this one travelling the roads of Southland!

Check out our Direct-To-Film (DTF) garment printer in action.
There’s something pretty satisfying about watching a design go from screen to print then garment so we thought we’d share part of the process with you.
Earlier this year we whipped up a full range of printed clothing for NZ Cycling Project – everything from tees, polos and tank tops to shorts, jackets and hoodies. You might even spot some of these garments making a cameo in the video!
From concept to creation, we make your garment needs a reality.
⚽️ Sports uniforms
🦺 Workplace clothing
👚 Team gear
👕 Promotional apparel
… and everything in between!
Our DTF printing delivers vivid colours, sharp detail and high-quality durability.

Our wrap with mega bite! In fact, you could say it's 'Jaws-dropping'.🦈
We’re excited to now finally share photos and details of our semi-submersible great white shark wrap which we completed earlier this year – a project which saw our team win a bronze medal at the 2026 Sign Display Awards of Excellence.
Our creative talents were enlisted by Hazmat Productions, an American film company creating a documentary which has recently been released on the Discovery Channel for Shark Week 2026.
Our uber-skilled graphic designer Bradley utilised 3D software to design the wrap to simulate the look of a great white shark.
Initially digitally printed in sample sections, these were applied to the shark to ensure the prints would work together on the 3D model. Once it was determined the overall outcome was achievable, the test prints were removed and the fibreglass model was prepped for application.
The final artwork was pieced together in Photoshop and flattened as a 2D print before being digitally printed in-house with a matte laminate applied.
The graphic was applied in two huge sections onto the sides of the 3D model. The tail, fins and underside of the fins were then applied separately.
It was a highly-technical project with several challenging aspects to navigate – particularly as the shape of the shark went from being very large and broad along the sides to thin at the tail and head.
Our experienced team had to conform the vinyl carefully with heat so it could be stretched and shrunk around the curved surface to ensure the prints seamlessly joined together.
A hatch on top allows a brave person to fit inside the semi-submersible shark decoy. (Don’t panic, airbags are included!)
The result is the 'reel' deal and can be seen in action in this Facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1018528894503083

🦈 2026 CHAMPIONS! 🦈
Huge congratulations to the Southland Sharks on taking out the 2026 NBL Championship! 🏀🏆
Yesterday’s game against the Wellington Saints was an absolute thriller at ILT Stadium Southland with our lads reigning supreme 104-101!
Our Creation crew has been incredibly proud to support the Sharks all season. And it’s fair to say two of our team have taken their role as ultimate hype fans very seriously!
Putting their professional skillset to excellent use, Nicky and Graham have been busy designing and printing their own Sharks tees and signs, kitting out their parochial families to guarantee plenty of Southland Sharks pride in the stands every home game.
Their creations have attracted plenty of attention from the players, and even the TV commentators have regularly spotted them in the crowd and given them a shout-out!
When you work at a sign shop, apparently there’s no such thing as too much team spirit!
If you’re looking for custom tees, signs, banners or promo gear for your team, business, club or crew, pop in and see us. We’ll make sure you get noticed!

Talk about a game changer. ⚽️
We were thrilled to design, manufacture and install this eye-catching sponsor recognition board for Southland Football's new turf.
The 3m wide feature is built from oversized ACM panel with a premium digital print, finished with a striking 3D Southland Football logo made from 10mm painted acrylic lettering.
Just like football, great signage is all about teamwork. A huge thanks to Southland Football for giving us the opportunity to help recognise the sponsors who are kicking in to support the future of the game in the south.
When it comes to making an impact, the Creation Crew is your team for quality signage that’s built for impact from kick-off to full-time.
