Services
Custom Signage
We create bespoke illuminated signs, channel letters, and pylon structures tailored to brand requirements. Our process combines 3D design software with precision manufacturing using LED components and industrial-grade materials. Each sign undergoes rigorous quality checks before professional installation and ongoing maintenance support.
CNC Routing
Our CNC routing services produce complex sign components and industrial parts from materials like aluminum, acrylic, and composites. With a 5'x20' table - the largest in the Fraser Valley - we achieve tight tolerances and flawless finishes for both prototyping and bulk production runs.
Vehicle Wraps
We design and install full or partial vehicle wraps using premium 3M and Avery vinyl materials. Our wraps transform vehicles into moving advertisements with custom graphics that withstand weather conditions while maintaining vibrant colors for extended brand exposure.
Billboard Advertising
Our outdoor advertising division manages billboard leasing, design, and installation across British Columbia. With strategic locations generating 29+ million annual views, we create high-impact campaigns that maximize brand visibility through professionally produced digital and printed displays.
LED Retrofits
As BC Hydro Alliance Members, we upgrade existing signs to energy-efficient LED systems. This service reduces electricity consumption by up to 80% while improving brightness and longevity, with clients qualifying for rebates on qualifying retrofit projects.
