Signage Design Dubai. Indoor, Outdoor, All Formats, Fabrication-Ready

Crafixx designs shop fascia, indoor signage, wayfinding systems, office branding environments, vehicle wraps, construction hoardings, neon signs, 3D LED signage, backlit acrylic signage, and digital signage. We work across retail, corporate, hospitality, healthcare, and industrial sectors in Dubai and across the UAE, and every fabrication file is specified to be weatherproof and durable for the UAE's heat, humidity, and UV exposure.</p>

Every signage project at Crafixx is designed multi-language by default. Language versions are laid out in parallel from the concept stage, not added as a translation at the end. We handle direction-aware typography, letter spacing, and script weight matching so every language carries equal visual authority on the finished sign.</p>

Outdoor signage on buildings and on public-facing structures in Dubai typically requires Dubai Municipality (DM) approval before installation. The requirements include size limitations relative to the building facade, material specifications, and Arabic language inclusion. DM requirements differ from Free Zone authority rules and mall management board requirements. We design within the applicable constraints from the start and can prepare the submission artwork package for your signage contractor to submit.</p>

A fabrication-ready file is an artwork file formatted for production, not just approval. It includes vector artwork with all fonts converted to outlines, dimensions annotated in millimetres, Pantone or RAL colour references specified, bleed and trim marks set, and layers separated by production method (print, cut, engrave, vinyl, illumination). This is what your fabricator needs to go directly to production without requesting corrections.</p>

Yes. We have designed shop fascia for retail environments inside Dubai malls and on high-street retail frontages. Mall retail fascia projects involve working within the mall's brand compliance guidelines, permitted sign zones, approved materials, illumination restrictions, and submission procedures. We design within these constraints and prepare submission-ready artwork for the mall management board review.</p>

Wayfinding signage is a system of directional signs that helps people navigate through a building, campus, or large space. It includes primary directional boards at decision points, secondary signs at corridors and intersections, and tertiary identification signs on individual rooms and areas. We design wayfinding systems for commercial towers, hospitals, hotels, educational campuses, and industrial facilities in the UAE, covering icon design, typographic hierarchy, colour coding, and multi-language layouts.</p>

Yes. Office branding signage includes reception feature walls, directional boards, meeting room identification, branded glass partitions, floor plans, and motivational wall graphics. We work from existing brand guidelines or develop a signage language as part of the project. We have designed office interiors for businesses in Business Bay, DIFC, JLT, and Dubai Internet City.</p>

Vehicle wrap design is the creation of branded graphics applied to the exterior of cars, vans, trucks, or buses. We design wraps using accurate vehicle contour templates, positioning all brand elements, logos, contact details, brand messages, and background patterns, to avoid seams, curves, door handles, and windows. Final files are delivered in the format required by the wrap applicator, with bleed, overlap measurements, and panel splits specified.</p>

Timeline depends on scope: a single sign concept, a full wayfinding system, and a multi-location rollout each carry different schedules, and revision rounds add time. Projects requiring Dubai Municipality or mall management approval have additional time requirements driven by the authority's review timeline, which is outside our control.</p>

To start a signage brief, we need: the location and type of signage (indoor/outdoor, illuminated/non-illuminated), the dimensions of the sign zone or available space, the fabrication material if already decided, the authority whose approval is required (DM, mall management, Free Zone), your existing brand assets (logo in vector format, brand guidelines if available), and your installation deadline. The more information you provide at brief stage, the fewer revision rounds are needed.</p>

Yes. We design construction site hoardings for project launches, retail fit-outs in progress, and building developments in Dubai. Hoarding designs typically include the project name and developer branding, a project visual or render, contact and sales information, and messaging designed for the viewing context, pedestrian or vehicular traffic, viewing distance, and ambient lighting. Files are delivered at print-ready resolution for large-format output.</p>

Yes. We design neon and LED signs for cafes, restaurants, boutiques, gyms, and entertainment venues across Dubai. Neon sign designs are delivered with the fabricator's wire routing and mounting points considered. LED channel letter designs include letter profiles, back-box specifications, and LED module configuration notes so the fabricator has a complete production brief.</p>

Signage design fees in Dubai vary based on the number of sign types, the complexity of the multi-script layout, the number of locations, and whether authority submission artwork is required. A single shop fascia, a full office branding package, and a vehicle wrap each carry different scopes. Contact us with your project brief for a specific quote.</p>
