Large Format Printing

Large Format Printing from Our Tanjong Pagar Studio

When standard paper sizes can't keep up with your ambition, large format printing steps in. From floor-to-ceiling exhibition backdrops and durable outdoor signage to immersive retail wall graphics and gallery-quality canvas art, Happy Print Shop produces sharp, colour-accurate output on virtually any substrate — up to 5 metres wide and as long as you need. We've been doing this from our International Plaza studio for over 40 years, and the experience shows in every square metre we print.

Substrates for Every Situation

Choosing the right material is half the battle. We stock and print on a broad selection of substrates, each suited to different environments and purposes:

• Frontlit vinyl (440 gsm) is the backbone of outdoor advertising. Tough, weather-resistant, and economical. It features welded hems and stainless-steel grommets for durability.
• Mesh vinyl is a perforated material that reduces wind resistance on large outdoor installations such as scaffolding wraps, fence banners, and elevated signage. It offers a versatile solution for outdoor advertising and construction site signage.
• Polyester fabric is lightweight, crease-resistant and machine-washable. Dye-sublimation printing produces vivid, photo-realistic colour. It's the first choice for exhibition backdrops, trade show booths and indoor retail displays.
• Canvas: a textured, archival-quality medium for fine art reproductions, photography exhibitions, and upscale office decor. Supplied rolled or stretched over timber frames.
• Self-adhesive vinyl is perfect for wall wraps, window decals, floor graphics, and vehicle livery. It comes in gloss, matt, frosted, and one-way-vision finishes.
• Rigid boards are a popular choice for many signage applications. They come in various materials, including foam board, PVC sheet, acrylic, and aluminium composite panel. These boards are ideal for wayfinding signs, exhibition panels, and semi-permanent indoor and outdoor signage.

Trade Show and Event Graphics

If you're looking to make a big impact at your next trade show or product launch, exhibition graphics are the way to go. From fabric backdrops and pop-up displays to stage wraps and floor decals, we've got you covered. We know deadlines are always tight in the events world, so we'll work closely with your timeline and deliver right to venue locations across the island.

Outdoor Signage Built for the Tropics

Singapore's combination of fierce UV, heavy rain and constant humidity will degrade inferior prints within weeks. Our eco-solvent and UV-curable inks are engineered for outdoor durability, maintaining colour integrity for two to three years under direct exposure. We regularly produce storefront signage, construction hoarding, car park wayfinding panels, building wraps and roadside promotional displays — all built to survive the local climate.

Vehicle Wraps and Floor Advertising

You can turn your company vehicles into moving billboards with professionally printed vehicle wraps. We use conformable cast vinyl that hugs curves and recesses without bubbling or peeling. For retail floors, event spaces and shopping malls, our anti-slip laminated floor graphics transform underfoot space into an eye-catching advertising channel.

Preparing Your Files for Large Format

Here are a few tips for preparing your artwork for printing. You don't need to build your artwork at full scale. Working at 50% or 25% size with proportionally higher resolution is standard practice. As a general rule, 150 dpi at actual print dimensions is sufficient for most signage and event graphics. For close-range displays, such as tradeshow booth graphics or retail displays, aim for 300 dpi. We accept PDF, TIFF, PSD, AI and EPS files. Our team runs complimentary prepress checks on every order.

Pricing and Lead Times

Send us your dimensions, substrate preference and quantity, and we'll return a detailed quote, usually within the hour. Large format jobs are priced per square metre: vinyl from SGD 7, fabric from SGD 13, canvas from SGD 22 and rigid board from SGD 28. Volume pricing applies automatically on bigger orders. Standard production is two to three working days; express turnaround is available for urgent deadlines — just let us know upfront.

We offer poster printing, banner printing and brochure printing services for smaller-scale print needs.
