Signage Installation Across the UAE
Our own fitters, not a subcontracted crew. Site survey first, then fitting scheduled around your trading hours — including overnight work for malls and active offices.
Printing Shop's own installation crew fits signage, window graphics, exhibition stands, hoardings and vehicle wraps across Dubai and the northern Emirates, including night shifts and mall or Dubai Municipality permits.

About installation crew in Dubai
Print that is never fitted correctly is wasted money. We keep an employed installation crew rather than sub-contracting, so the team that hangs your facade sign is the team that printed it and can be held to the same schedule.
The crew works with scissor lifts, cherry pickers, ladders and full height-safety kit, and holds the insurance and third-party liability cover malls and building management require before access is granted. Fitting on live retail and office sites usually happens overnight or before opening, which we plan into the quote instead of adding later.
Site survey comes first on anything structural: we measure, photograph, check the substrate and confirm power access for illuminated signs. That survey becomes the fitting drawing, which avoids the classic problem of a sign that is 40 mm too wide for its bay.
We also handle the paperwork — Dubai Municipality signage approval, mall fit-out submissions, DWTC and ADNEC stand regulations — and we schedule maintenance visits or seasonal graphic swaps for clients running rotating campaigns.

More about Installation Crew
Installation Crew at Printing Shop runs on trained signage and wrap installation teams in our Al Quoz plant in Dubai. The floor exists for one reason: measuring, mounting and wrapping on site across the UAE. Every job on this line is colour-managed to the same G7 targets as the rest of the building, so work can move between processes without a visible shift in brand colour.
Our own fitters, not a subcontracted crew. Site survey first, then fitting scheduled around your trading hours — including overnight work for malls and active offices. Our prepress team preflights every incoming file free of charge, checks bleed, resolution, spot colours and trapping, and returns a digital proof for approval before anything is committed to press. Colour-critical jobs can be proofed on the final substrate.
Most work on this line is delivered within two to five working days from approval, and rush slots are available when a deadline is fixed. Delivery is free across Dubai and next day to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the Northern Emirates. Because print, finishing, packing and installation all sit under one roof, there is one team accountable for the schedule.
Send a brief through the quote form with your quantities, sizes and deadline, attach any artwork you already have, or push the same details to WhatsApp for a reply within two working hours. If you are still scoping the job, ask for a sample pack or a structural sample and we will get one to your office before you commit.
Installation Crew FAQs
- Do you handle Dubai Municipality signage permits?
- Yes. We prepare the drawing pack, submit the application and track approval, and we build the permit timeline of roughly 5–15 working days into the project schedule.
- Can you install signage outside business hours?
- Night and pre-opening installation is standard for us on live retail and office sites, and it is priced into the quote rather than charged as an extra later.
- Which areas do you cover?
- All of Dubai, plus Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates. Travel outside Dubai is quoted per trip.
- Do you remove old signage?
- Yes — de-installation, wall making-good and disposal can be included, which is usually a condition of mall and landlord handover.
