Retail Branding

We see signage every single day — a shopfront, opening hours, a display of discounts. This is the work of putting a brand onto a premises and keeping it there.

In short

Shopfront and interior signage, 3D lettering, glass decor, wall graphics, vehicle livery and retail displays — the brand carried across every surface a customer sees.

Drive down the street and you are confronted with signs. At the workplace there is health and safety signage everywhere. Pop into your local store and it has its main sign, its opening hours, and a display of discounts and deals. Signage is an essential part of life, and getting a brand onto a premises well is what our in-house workshop does.

Beyond the standard catalogue we design and produce bespoke signage solutions, advertising hoardings and building wraps. Every job is surveyed before it is quoted, fabricated in our own workshop, and fitted by our own crew — so the sign that goes up is the sign that was approved.

What it includes

Everything we make under retail branding

  • Two printed Science in the City wayfinding totems standing in a Valletta street

    Shopfront & Outdoor Signage

    The best outdoor sign showcases your brand and brings attention to your location. Visibility is the point.

  • Frosted glass wayfinding signs for Elysium Spa, and a Level 0 fire notice plate on stone

    Indoor Signage

    Brand an office, advertise a sale, or direct people around a clinic or an office block.

  • Built-up 3D lettering spelling Karl Brincau Hair Salon, mounted on a panelled wall

    3D Signs & Lettering

    Depth added to a flat sign. The shape and shadow of built-up letters catch the eye in a way flat signage cannot.

  • Frosted vinyl panels applied to a glass office partition beside a small waiting area

    Glass Decor

    Used as a divider or for privacy — frosted repeated patterns, or brand colours across the glass.

  • Printed football-shirt wallpaper covering the wall of a sports bar dining room

    Wall Graphics & Wallpaper

    Washable, light-resistant and durable — plain, or with your branding worked into the surface.

  • A red London-style taxi wrapped in printed Vodafone graphics

    Vehicle Wrapping

    Graphics applied to cars, vans, trucks, buses and boats — full wraps or partial, cut to the panel and worked over the vehicle’s own curves and door shuts.

  • A printed exhibition wall carrying a Spazju Kreattiv logo and a dated timeline

    Displays & Exhibits

    An exhibitor has about three seconds to land a brand message, at a shop display or a trade show alike.

Good to know

Retail Branding — questions we are asked

Do I need a permit for a shop sign in Malta?

Often, yes. Many shop signs and advertisements in Malta need Planning Authority permission. Some small signs fixed flat to the facade can be exempt, and premises in conservation areas face stricter rules. The rules change, so check with the Planning Authority for your premises before a sign is ordered.

How much does it cost to wrap a car or van in Malta?

It depends on the vehicle and the job: its size, a full or partial wrap, how many panels and door shuts the design crosses, roof bars or ladder racks that have to come off, any existing livery, and the artwork. Send the make, model and year, with what you want on it, and we will price it from the vehicle rather than guess from a photograph.

How long does a vehicle wrap last?

It depends on the vinyl, how it is cared for and where the vehicle is parked. A van in full Maltese sun every day ages faster than one kept under cover, and the roof and bonnet weather first. Hand wash rather than using a brush car wash, wait a few days before the first wash, and keep a pressure washer away from the edges and seams.

Will a vehicle wrap damage my paint?

Not on sound paint. Vinyl bonds to the paint surface, so on a well-kept factory finish it comes off cleanly. If the paint has already failed, through rust, a flaking respray or a badly finished repair, removing the wrap later can lift that paint with it. Tell us about any paint damage before the wrap goes on, not after.

Should I get a full wrap or a partial wrap?

A partial wrap puts your logo and contact details on the flat panels and uses less material and fitting time. A full wrap covers the whole vehicle and can change its colour. Either way, keep the phone number large and on the rear doors, because that is what the traffic behind you reads.

What types of signage do you make in Malta?

Shopfront and outdoor signs, indoor and wayfinding signage, 3D signs and built-up lettering, frosted glass decor, wall graphics and printed wallpaper, displays and exhibition stands, and vehicle wraps for cars, vans, trucks, buses and boats.
