Behind the Scenes at Griffin Designs: Our Production Process
At Griffin Designs, behind the scenes, our small team takes great pride in producing high-quality, customised signage and branding solutions for businesses, schools, and charities across the UK. From initial design concepts to the final product, every step of our production process is carefully managed to ensure excellence. As a UK-based business, we combine expert craftsmanship with the latest technology to create durable, eye-catching signage that meets the unique needs of our clients.
In this blog, we invite you behind the scenes to discover how we bring your designs to life, emphasising our commitment to quality control and customisation.
Step 1: Consultation & Design
The journey begins with understanding our clients’ requirements. Whether you need a reusable vinyl banner, club clothing, or custom signage, our team takes the time to discuss your vision, brand identity, and specific needs. This is not just about the purpose, its about where you are displaying your product as well as the actual design. For example banners can be reusable, but if you are displaying them for a long time on an open fence or windy area, it might be better to use a mesh banner. We are all about longevity of product here, rather than single use.
- Customisation: We offer a wide range of materials, colours, and finishes to ensure each product is tailored to your business.
- Expert Advice: Our experienced design team provides recommendations on layouts, fonts, and colours to maximize impact.
Step 2: Precision Printing & Cutting
Once the design is finalised, we move to production using state-of-the-art printing and cutting technology. We use high-quality, durable materials that ensure longevity, even in the unpredictable UK weather. We have a number of machines in use in our large UK based warehouse from Mimaki printing machines to full paper print, sort and finish.
- Advanced Printing Technology: Our large-format printers produce crisp, vibrant images that maintain their quality over time.
- Precision Cutting: Whether it’s self-adhesive vinyl lettering or intricate logo shapes, our cutting machines ensure accuracy and a flawless finish.
Step 3: Quality Control & Finishing Touches
Quality control is at the heart of what we do. Before any product leaves our UK workshop, it undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure it meets our high standards.
- Material Inspection: We check for consistency in color, print clarity, and durability.
- Hand Finishing: Some products, like custom decals and shopfront signs, require additional hand-finishing for a perfect result.
Step 4: Packaging & Delivery
Once approved, we carefully package each order to prevent damage during transit. We understand the importance of timely delivery, so we ensure that orders reach our clients across the UK promptly and in perfect condition.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: We strive to use sustainable packaging options wherever possible.
- Fast & Reliable Shipping: We work with trusted couriers to provide speedy deliveries nationwide.
