The Best Digital Printers for Retail Signage and Displays

Temporary retail signage, POP promotional displays, sale signs and banners are all projects that may only be in place for a short time but need to be extra eye-catching to drive footfall. Social distancing and safety signs, too, need to attract attention – they're not doing their job otherwise.

Punchy colours, stylish designs and text that is easy-to-read are all essential elements for making an impact in a busy street or shopping centre, to entice potential customers off the pavement and into the store. Signs, no matter the design, need to be durable and of high quality.

Below are just a few examples of how Roland DG print technology can be used for effective display signage, both short-term and long-term.

Wide Range of Retail Signage Solutions

Whether your customers are looking for a winning window display for a season or need Point-Of-Purchase material that will be in place for just a few days, take a look at the high-volume IU-1000F UV-LED flatbed printer. This exceptional machine delivers the speed, colour reproduction and unlimited printing possibilities that will accelerate any print business. The photographic image quality, including natural skin tones, are a perfect fit for a fashion boutique.

Roland DG’s high-volume VersaUV flatbed printers are ideal for printing bold colours on an exciting array of materials, such as direct-printing onto corrugated polypropylene board for in-store sales promotions.

A-boards are an excellent way to grab people's attention as they're walking down the street. Replicate a traditional pub chalkboard sign, highlight an end-of-season fashion sale or simply announce a gallery is open to visitors with an A-board.


If you need to replicate brand colours and artwork, Roland DG’s eco-solvent printers with bundled software make it easy to achieve. Some also have integrated cutting functions and can offer an incredible colour gamut, from green and orange to white and metallic.

For banners that catch the breeze, check out Roland DG’s Texart range. This dye sublimation process is fantastic for durable soft signage and fabric banners, achieving amazing accuracy and colours with staying power on both temporary and permanent displays for indoors or outdoors.


There are lots of ways to produce stunning retail displays, shop signs and promotional collateral with just a few of the examples shown above.
