Production Signage, Unit Boards & Banners
Film production signage is the unsung hero of a smooth-running film set, relying fundamentally on crystal-clear communication and flawless logistics. Beyond what the camera lens captures, the massive machinery of a film crew needs constant direction, organisation, and safety protocols to function efficiently. Print Met Erika supplies Art Departments, Location Managers, and Unit Managers across the Western Cape with the highly durable, exceptionally visible signage required to keep sprawling basecamps organised and remote locations completely secure.
Operating a bustling production requires moving hundreds of people and tons of equipment safely on a daily basis. Printed with premium, weather-resistant eco-solvent inks, our unit boards, directional arrows, and large-format banners are specifically built to withstand the heavy winds, driving rain, and harsh elements typical of outdoor location shoots in this region. We understand that a missing basecamp sign can delay a crew of hundreds, which is why we treat production signage with the same urgency, care, and precision as our camera-ready hero props.
Comprehensive Production Signage, Unit Boards & Banners
Every production has unique logistical challenges, but the need for reliable, rugged signage remains constant. From the moment the first unit truck arrives to the final wrap party, our signs guide the way.
What We Produce:

Built for the Elements:
Location shoots inherently demand incredibly tough materials. Our large-format banners and rigid unit signs are printed and constructed specifically to handle the grueling demands of daily rigging, constant transport in the back of grip trucks, and the famously unpredictable Cape Town weather. We know that a flimsy sign is worse than no sign at all. By utilising top-tier materials and advanced printing technology, we ensure your production stays clearly marked, highly organised, and completely secure from the first unit call in the early morning mist to the final wrap under the setting sun.
