Recent Signage Projects

At Benefitz we love the variety of projects that we get involved in. We undertook this recent project out at the Auckland International Airport in the Duty Free area. Our client was Feature Landscapes who were doing the interesting project that involved plantings to make the stand come alive for their client, Snowberry.

Our involvement included the printing and installation of the circular bulkhead, prints for four sides of a pillar, lightbox prints and printed floor decals. We also constructed a frame to accommodate clear acrylic prints and formed a hanging display box that was printed on e-flute and machine cut to shape on our Zund cutter. Installation was done between midnight and 6am.

“I love this project as it is something different where a number of our printing methods and machines were used,” explains Sean Hawkins, Benefitz Account Manager for the project. “It is awesome to see everything come together in a situation where we only had one chance at install in a certain timeframe. The Benefitz team made it happen and the client was extremely happy.”

Fusion Entertainment wanted a unit made to display a time line showing 10 years of marine stereo systems. Benefitz came up with the concept of making a box with all power hidden inside with the stereo units on the face. The top blade is illuminated using RGB Led lights with the logo being etched into the clear Perspex to catch the light and make the logo shine bright green. The unit sits 1.8m long with the green LED lights underneath to give the illusion of the box floating.

We wanted to make a big impact for My Food Bag to showcase their new "MADE" product range. Our team designed the concept, layout and signage for the 7.2 x 3m stand, creating and installing a backdrop banner, acrylic sigage, cut-out logo signs and over three metres of 3D logo signs with palight facing for the 7.2 x 3m stand.

A lot of this signage will be able to be reused at other events or in the My Food Bag office. Everything was produced within 2-3 days and we installed everything on the day prior to the show opening.

This client approached the Benefitz team to help with marketing material for the Bremner Ridge Residential & Lifestyle Development at Flatbush in south east Auckland. The range of items we produced showed our versatility, including billboard skins, advertising trailers, the wrapping of temporary buildings (portacoms) with graphics, and also printing corflute signage and interesting A3 size sales brochures.

“I am excited about this project as it really showed that we were able to produce everything in-house,” explains Benefitz Account Manager Grant Young. “This is one of our strengths at Benefitz. The client was extremely happy with the outcome.”

Benefitz recently played a part by producing and installing signage and display items at NZ Cricket’s head office in Auckland. This included large printed wall graphics, 3D logos, printed graphics on meeting room windows and the creation of a ‘Gallery of the Greatest’ display using various signage items and supplied items – helmut, stumps, bat, ball etc.

“I was particularly proud of the way we came up with signage solutions for the Gallery of the Greatest," says Account Manager Rhys Lloyd, who led the project for Benefitz. “NZ Cricket’s design agency supplied a 2d rendering and our team came up with ways of bringing the supplied drawings to life by fabricating a wide range of sign and display solutions depicting NZ Cricket awards and finding ways to suitably hang the supplied items. The entire project scope involved lots of printed graphics and many fabricated items – all installed by our sign team.”

The Benefitz team produced large format printed items to promote the show, also a large nine metre wide hanging banner to act as a backdrop for the show, and a complete 130 square metre floor graphic which was applied by the Benefitz sign team. We also printed the programme for the show.
 
“The thing I most like about this project is the school came to us looking for a solution to a problem,” says Benefitz director Robert Johnson. “The stage needed to be cleared the day after the production finished to make way for the school’s 150th festivities. So their usual method of painting the auditorium floor was not an option. It was great we could provide the short term floor adhesive solution that we could apply and then remove quickly. At the end of the day the school was very satisfied with our all round solution for the show. It was a thrill to then also help with items for the 150th Celebration.”

The team at Benefitz recently assisted with the signage at a new store called The Seafood Collective. There was a whole range of interior and exterior signage, including big printed images – all produced and installed by our sign team. An interesting new feature was the use of LED Silicone Neon to create a neon effect on the exterior signage.

“This is another first for Benefitz with an innovative and cost-effective solution for the customer,” says Benefitz director Dallas Bennett. “The client wanted something that was different and would stand them apart from what was around them. We used this new LED Silicone Neon product with an 8mm lamp by 16mm high and it blazes bright and looks great."

Golf Warehouse is currently undergoing a new refresh of their driving range in Takapuna. Benefitz was able to provide the impact required for the entry signage. These 10mm acrylic letters were router cut on the Benefitz CNC router. The letters were then spray painted to match the Golf warehouse yellow. All letters were fixed direct to the building using paper patterns to ensure accuracy of letter placement. This signage has a bold impact when arriving at the driving range!

The team at Lovely by Skin Institute needed a great looking display that could be adapted to suit different spaces in a variety of locations. It had to be easy to put up, pack down and easy to transport. Our clever designers combined with our Signage/XL team to produce the 3m x 3m printed floor, a fabric backdrop stand, plinth sign and a fabricated table with printed skin. All the items pack down into carry bags and boxes for easy travel.

Smales Farms' new dining precinct Goodside has become a quick favourite on the Shore. We fabricated and installed these slick lightboxes for flagship restaurant The Grange, using black ACM panel lightboxes, router cut logos and LED backlighting for a clean, modern, high-impact look.

Ballistics thought it was time to update their shop front sign of over 10 years! Benefitz had the solution to jazz this up. This sign spanning 4.8m wide was cut 20mm signex board with an ACM face using the Benefitz CNC router. LED lights were used to illuminate the sign. The sign was installed by the Benefitz team, 150mm off the shop front so the lights give a halo effect at night time, with the BALLISTICS word being illuminated too. Overall transforming this shop front into a new sleek design!

We love bringing storefronts to life with fresh signage. Our Benefitz designers and signage crew teamed up to create this new look for Wettie Spearfishing & Wetsuits for their move to new premises, and we're stoked with the finished result!

The Benefitz team designed, produced and installed window graphics, plinths, carpark and entrance signs and 3D Acrylic signage to give the building a whole new feeling.

How cool is this signage we produced for Siamese Doll, the new Asian fusion eatery in Hobsonville Point's Catalina Bay.

The acrylic letters were 3D router cut, treated with a red vinyl application, then mounted onto painted metal bars to match the shelving for a floating effect. We're stoked with the finished result!

Benefitz was part of an exciting project when the first Mexiconsin store was launched. This is a combination of Mexicali and Burger Wisconsin. Benefitz was part of the merge, looking after the store signage. The Burger Wisconsin logo was router cut from acrylic and sprayed in the brand colours. The Mexiconsin sign inside was router cut from plywood and applied to the wall to give the rustic/organic feel. The new decals on the sneeze guard were cut from frosting and applied along with the window graphics outside cut from coloured vinyl. Over all bringing two great food stores together with the merging of signage produced by the Benefitz team.

Our signage team created and applied a range of signage solutions throughout the brand new B:HIVE building at Smales Farm on the sunny North Shore of Auckland. Adhesive graphics were applied to meeting rooms, pods and phone booths for privacy, as well as tenant logos and safety strips on glass throughout the space.
