Custom Logo Printing — Cones, Signs & Barriers (Canada)
EN/FR Text
Pantone Matching

Straight talk: Good print = vector art + right process + clean surface. If your file is fuzzy or the substrate is dirty/cold, the result will be too.
1) What we can print (by product)
Traffic Cones
- 1–3 colour logo/text on cone body
- Reflective collar print (select materials)
- Serials/IDs for fleets
Posts & Barriers
- Belt post cassette labels (EN/FR)
- Barrier panel print or decal kits
- Plastic chain tag plates
Signs & Boards
- Full-colour reflective faces (HIP/DG)
- Aluminum/ACP boards, indoor PVC
- Parking/wayfinding, floor boards
2) Print methods — when to use which
| Method | Best for | Pros | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screen print | Cones, flat panels, 1–3 spot colours | Opaque ink, durable, cost-effective in bulk | Setup cost; vector art required |
| UV digital | Signs/boards, multi-colour/gradients | Full colour, fast proofs, variable data | Needs smooth surface; texture shows |
| Thermal transfer | Labels, serials, barcodes | Sharp text, quick runs | Ribbon limits on large graphics |
| Die-cut vinyl | Outdoor decals, reflective legends | High outdoor life; field replaceable | Edges can lift if surface is dirty/cold |
3) Artwork requirements & colours
- File types: AI, PDF, SVG (vector). High-res PNG only if vector unavailable.
- Fonts: convert to outlines or include files.
- Bleed/margins: 3–5 mm typical; keep text away from edges and bolt holes.
- Colour: Pantone Solid Coated for spot; CMYK for digital. We match closest achievable on the substrate.
- Proofs: we send a digital proof for approval before production.
- Contrast: pick high-contrast combos (e.g., black/yellow, black/white) for safety reads.
- Reflective: dark inks over reflective film maintain night brightness best.
4) Durability, cleaning & warranty
- Outdoors: traffic-grade inks/films designed for UV/cold. Life varies with sun, salt and abrasion.
- Cleaning: mild soap + water + microfiber. No solvents or abrasive pads.
- Warranty: defects on arrival are covered. Normal wear/fade/scratches are not (see Returns & Warranty).
5) Lead times, MOQs & pricing basics
- Lead time: stock items usually ship in 1 business day after proof approval for print; complex jobs vary.
- MOQ: depends on method — screen print typically higher MOQ; digital/vinyl flexible.
- Pricing: driven by size • colours • quantity • method. Ask for a quote on your exact spec.
6) How to order — step-by-step
- Send your list and artwork via Contact Support (include SKUs, qty, colours, EN/FR text).
- We confirm method, placement and send a proof.
- Approve the proof → we schedule production and advise ship window.
7) Bilingual (EN/FR) layout tips
- Keep EN/FR on the same panel where space allows; equal prominence (size/weight/contrast).
- Use standard pictograms (slip/forklift/no-entry) to speed understanding.
- See Bilingual Labelling — When It’s Required for more.
8) Common mistakes to avoid
- Supplying low-res JPG screenshots — we need vector or high-res art.
- Too many colours for screen print — simplify or switch to digital.
- Printing light inks on reflective faces for night use — go darker for visibility.
- Skipping surface prep — dust/oil kills adhesion on decals.
