Window graphics for branding, privacy and promotion
Glass is free advertising space. We quote on printed window graphics, cut vinyl lettering, frosted film and one-way contravision for shopfronts, offices, showrooms and vehicles. Send a photo of the glass, the measurements and the message you want people to read.

Types of window graphics
The right film depends on whether you want to sell, brand or screen.
- Printed vinyl: full-colour promotions, product images and opening notices.
- Cut vinyl lettering: trading names, hours and contact details in a single clean colour, applied directly to glass.
- Frosted film: a soft, etched look for privacy in meeting rooms and bathrooms, with logos or patterns cut out.
- Contravision (one-way vision): perforated printed film that shows a graphic outside and lets people see out from inside.
Window graphics pair well with shopfront signage and reception signage.
How contravision works
Contravision film is covered with tiny holes. From outside, the printed side reads as a solid image. From inside, the holes let you see through to the street. It suits shopfronts, office glass and vehicle rear windows where daylight and a view matter.
Because of the perforations, finer detail is slightly softer than on solid vinyl, and in low light conditions the graphic may look different. Use bold images and large text. Ask us about vehicle glass rules before branding any window used for driving visibility.
Measuring and preparing artwork
Glass sizes and frames dictate the layout. Measure the visible glass area, not the frame, and note mullions, handles and door openings.
- Photograph the window straight on, including surroundings.
- Tell us whether the film goes inside or outside the glass.
- Supply vector logos (AI, EPS, SVG, PDF or CDR).
- Keep important text clear of door handles and frame lines.
We can set up the layout on your measurements. See artwork rescue and design if you need help.
Installation and timing
Window graphics should be applied to clean glass in suitable conditions, so installation is normally quoted along with supply. Wind, dust and heat make application difficult outdoors.
Timing depends on capacity, film stock, size, approved artwork, payment and a confirmed deadline, and we confirm it on the quote. Cut vinyl lettering is often quicker than large printed panels.
Collection and delivery
Small pieces can be collected from Rivonia Central, Oriental City, once ready. Delivery and installation are quoted per job.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see out through contravision?
Yes. From the inside, the film's perforations let you see through, while the graphic shows from outside.
Can the film be removed later?
Window film can generally be removed, though age and sun exposure affect how easily.
Is frosted film permanent?
It is long-lasting but can be removed. Confirm the adhesive type on the quote.
Can you do vehicle windows?
Vehicle glass has safety and legal limits on visibility. Ask us and we will advise what can be applied.
Can window graphics be done quickly?
Sometimes. It depends on capacity, film stock, approved artwork and payment, and we confirm on the quote.
