Manufacture

CV operates one of Australia’s largest, state-of-the-art signage manufacturing and printing facilities, based in Brisbane. With an expansive 7,840m² factory, our team has delivered countless iconic sign projects across Australia and New Zealand – backed by the space, equipment and processes required to manufacture at scale.

Our facility is equipped with advanced machinery and cutting-edge technology, enabling a broad range of in-house manufacturing services, including:

• Metal, plastic and electrical fabrication
• LED, neon and fluorescent illumination works
• Traditional hand signwriting and vinyl application
• 2-pak baking, powder coating and finishing booths
• Digital printing, including direct-to-substrate UV and wide-format latex
• CNC routing and laser cutting

With state-of-the-art print room facilities and ongoing investment in new equipment, we reduce reliance on outsourcing and maintain direct control over production quality – from the first fabrication step to final finishing.

Our print capability supports high-volume production as well as bespoke, complex applications. With top-of-the-line printer technology in-house, we can work across an expanded range of materials and substrates while maintaining consistency across repeat runs – essential for multi-site branding and national programs.

Our factory is strategically designed to maximise production efficiency. A gantry setup supports streamlined material handling and workflow – enabling seamless movement through storage, metal processing, manufacturing, finishing and despatch. The result is a production environment built to support scale without compromising detail or quality.

Quality is embedded in the way CV manufactures. Our operations align to ISO 9001:2015 standards and are supported by SAI Global certification, underpinned by documented policies, procedures, audits and continuous improvement mechanisms.

Quality assurance extends across every stage of manufacture:

• Department-level sign-offs throughout production
• Final approvals through dispatch and QA checks
• Inspection Test Plans (ITPs) for large-scale projects, such as national rebrands or sky signage – with scheduled inspections at critical points to verify compliance and performance

This structured approach helps ensure dependable delivery, consistent finishes and outcomes that meet specification.

CV’s innovation and product development capability focuses on practical improvements that increase visual impact while reducing cost and extending asset lifespan. Through ongoing upgrades to machinery and tooling, and careful analysis of production methodologies, materials and supply chain processes, we continuously refine how signage is manufactured – improving durability, finish and performance while staying aligned to evolving industry requirements.

Sustainability is integrated into our manufacturing approach through practical measures that reduce waste and energy use. We implement a semi-closed loop system focused on repurposing and recycling materials, and we offer 100% recyclable signage options where suitable. Energy reduction is supported by the extensive solar system installed at our Hendra head office, producing 880 kWh of green energy and reducing reliance on non-renewables.

We also utilise energy-efficient print technologies, including the HP Latex R2000 Hybrid and HP Latex 2700 – which use water-based inks free of hazardous air pollutants, reducing environmental impact compared to traditional solvent-based inks.

With in-house fabrication, illumination, finishing and print under one roof, CV is equipped to deliver complex builds, high-volume programs and time-critical rollouts. Whether it’s a single bespoke installation or a coordinated multi-site delivery, our manufacturing capability is designed to deliver signage that lasts – and looks the part for years to come.
