Adgraphix has been delivering large format digital printing, signage, and display solutions since 1999. Based in Christchurch, we work with businesses across New Zealand, from retail and hospitality to construction, events, and trade shows, to create high-impact visual communication that makes brands stand out.

Our studio and production facility is at 32a Birmingham Drive, Middleton, Christchurch. While we're based in Christchurch, we work with clients throughout New Zealand. Finished products can be shipped to you, and our team is happy to discuss installation

We accept most industry-standard formats including PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, PSD, and TIFF. PDF is generally preferred as it packages fonts and images reliably. Download our File Preparation Guide from the File Prep page for full specifications.

It depends on viewing distance. As a general rule: 100–200 dpi for close viewing (under 1m), 50–100 dpi for medium distance (1–3m), and 30 dpi can be sufficient for outdoor billboards viewed from a distance. Work at full size when possible, remember to allow for the correct resolution when working to scale.

Yes. We generally require a bleed of at least 5mm on all sides (more for larger formats). Any critical content like text and logos should be kept well within the safe zone, away from the trim edge.

We recommend CMYK where possible, as this most closely matches our print output. If your file is in RGB we canconvert it, but colours may shift slightly - particularly vivid reds, blues, and greens. If colour accuracy is critical, please talk to us before submitting.

We can assist with artwork set-up and basic file preparation. For full design services, we can recommend trusted local designers. Get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.

Our range is extensive and includes banners, vehicle and fleet graphics, building and outdoor signage, portable displays (pull-up banners, flags, counters, lightboxes), trade show and expo displays, window and floor graphics, murals and wallpapers, hoarding and construction site signage, corflute and dimensional signage, illuminated and LED signs, laser cutting and engraving, acoustic art panels, and interior workplace branding.

We use industry-leading large format digital print technology, including HP Latex and UV Curable printers. HP Latex inks are non-hazardous, low-VOC, and virtually odourless - making them suitable for indoor environments. Our workflow is managed through Onyx Thrive software for consistent, colour-accurate output.

Yes. We offer a full range of vehicle graphics using high-quality adhesive films designed for vehicles. Whether you need a full wrap, partial graphic, or simple lettering, we can tailor a solution to your needs and budget. We'll also advise on legal requirements regarding window coverage.

Yes. We have an active 'A Better Choice' product range with more sustainable substrate and material options. We use HP Latex inks (low-VOC, non-hazardous) and our UV Curable alternatives are a significant step up from traditional solvent printing.

Minimum order quantities vary by product. Many products can be produced in small runs, even single units. Contact us with your specific requirements and quantities and we'll confirm what's possible.

Yes. We have experienced installation teams who can fit signage, vehicle graphics, window films, wall graphics, and more. Installation is available as an add-on to your order - just let us know when you enquire and we'll include it in your quote.

Yes. Our installation team holds SiteSafe Passport certification and are trained in Working at Height. We carry out site risk assessments prior to work and use the PeopleSafe management system for ongoing hazard review.

Many of our products are designed for self-installation - particularly portable displays like pull-up banner stands, flags, and counters. For window films, vehicle wraps, and permanent signage, professional installation is strongly recommended for the best result and longevity.

We've had an active Environmental Policy since 2009 where we more than halved the volume of waste sent to landfill each week. Key initiatives include using HP Latex and UV Curable inks (non-hazardous, low-VOC), comprehensive recycling programmes, and an expanding 'A Better Choice' eco-product range. We also fund a minimum of 120 native trees per year through Trees That Count.

Yes. We accept corflute, aluminium composite panel (ACM), media board, and RETEX board back to our Christchurch facility for recycling. HP print cartridges and printheads are also recycled via HP Planet Partners. If you scanned a Recycle Me QR code on an

Yes. The majority of our work uses HP Latex inks, which are non-hazardous, low-VOC, and virtually odourless - making them ideal for offices, retail environments, schools, and healthcare facilities. We also use low-VOC UV curable inks for selected applications. These inks are cured using UV light during production, creating a durable, stable finish with minimal odour once printed.
