Spring is one of the busiest times of year for events, exhibitions, and activations across Australia. Whether you're planning a trade show, product launch, or corporate event, your signage plays a crucial role in attracting attention and elevating your brand.

At Coleman Group, we specialise in high-impact, custom signage solutions, and we know that the key to a seamless event is early planning. If you want to stand out this spring, here’s how to get your event signage ready well in advance.

1. Lock in Signage Production Lead Times

During spring, production schedules across the signage and exhibition industry fill up quickly. Leaving your signage order to the last minute could mean limited options, extra costs, or delays.

To stay on track:

Schedule your custom signage production 4–6 weeks before your event
Confirm delivery and installation requirements early
Factor in time for design approvals and print proofing

Need signage in a hurry? At Coleman Group, we do offer emergency printing and short turnaround options where possible,

but to ensure the best results and stress-free delivery, early planning is always recommended.

2. Finalise Your Artwork Early (Or Let Us Handle It)

Your signage is only as strong as your design. If you're supplying your own artwork, we recommend submitting final, print-ready files at least 2–3 weeks prior to your event to keep production on schedule.

However, if you don’t have a designer, That’s no problem.

At Coleman Group, our in-house creative team can take care of the entire design process. We'll work with your brief to create graphics that only meet guidelines but also enhance the space and set the right tone for your event.

From initial concepts to fully approved designs, we ensure your signage is visually striking and event-ready, without the stress of managing artwork yourself.

3. Choose Modular Signage for Speed, Flexibility, and Sustainability

Looking for signage that’s cost-effective, reusable, and easy to set up? Modular signage solutions like our FABframe system are ideal for businesses with multiple events throughout the year.

Benefits of modular signage:

Graphics can be changed easily, saving time and money
Frames can be reused across various events
Lightweight and easy to transport
Provides a clean, premium finish for exhibition signage or brand activations

It’s a smart investment for marketing teams that value flexibility and sustainability.
