Directional Signs
Professional wayfinding and directional signage that guides visitors through commercial precincts, office buildings, and business premises.
When visitors need to navigate your premises, commercial precinct, or event venue with confidence, directional signs Auckland businesses invest in make the difference between confusion and seamless wayfinding. Falcon Signs creates professional directional signage Auckland commercial property managers, event organisers, and businesses trust for clear, effective navigation assistance.
What are Directional Signs?
Directional signage serves a critical functional purpose while also contributing to the overall impression visitors form of your business or venue. Poor wayfinding creates frustration, wasted time, and negative experiences before visitors even reach their destination. Well-designed directional signs anticipate visitor needs, provide clear guidance at decision points, and create a sense of professionalism and organisation that reflects positively on the businesses they serve.
Our directional signage service covers exterior wayfinding signs, interior directory boards, parking guidance signs, pedestrian direction signs, event wayfinding systems, building identification, floor-level indicators, and custom direction boards. We handle projects from single directional signs to comprehensive wayfinding systems for multi-building commercial precincts. Our team specialises in visibility optimisation, consistent design language, and durable construction suited to both indoor and outdoor applications.
Auckland commercial precincts from Smales Farm to Albany and Highbrook trust Falcon Signs for directional signage systems that guide visitors efficiently and reinforce professional brand presentation.

Our Process
Our Directional Signs Process
Site Assessment
We visit your site to understand the physical layout, identify key decision points where visitors need guidance, assess existing signage, and evaluate environmental factors affecting sign placement and visibility.
Wayfinding Strategy
Working with your team, we develop a wayfinding strategy that maps visitor journeys from arrival to destinations, identifying where directional signs are needed and what information each should communicate.
Design Development
Our designers create sign concepts that communicate clearly while complementing your brand identity and built environment. We consider typography, colour contrast, symbol usage, and viewing distances.
Sign Specification
We specify materials, construction methods, and mounting solutions appropriate to each sign location, whether interior or exterior, temporary or permanent, wall-mounted or freestanding.

Frequently Asked Questions - Directional Signs
Effective directional signs include destination names, directional arrows, and sometimes distance or floor indicators. Information should be limited to what visitors need at that specific decision point. Too much information creates confusion rather than clarity. We design signs that provide just enough guidance to move visitors confidently toward their destination.
Outdoor directional signs typically use ACM (aluminium composite material), aluminium, stainless steel, or treated timber, depending on aesthetic requirements and budget. Graphics use UV-resistant inks or applied vinyl for weather durability. We recommend materials based on your specific environment, expected lifespan, and visual requirements.
Yes, directional signage should integrate with your brand identity. We incorporate brand colours, typography, logo placement, and design elements while maintaining the clarity required for effective wayfinding. The result is signage that reinforces your brand while guiding visitors effectively.
We consider viewing distance, ambient lighting, background contrast, typography size, and sign positioning during design. Signs are specified with appropriate dimensions for their location, using colour combinations that ensure legibility. We assess sight lines to position signs where they are visible when visitors need them.
Various standards may apply depending on your premises, including accessibility requirements for disabled access, building code requirements for emergency wayfinding, and council regulations for signs visible from public areas. We advise on relevant requirements during consultation.
Yes, we can modify, extend, or refresh existing wayfinding systems. This includes adding signs for new destinations, updating information on existing signs, or refreshing worn graphics. Where possible, we match existing design elements for visual continuity.
Properly specified outdoor directional signs last 10-20+ years depending on materials and environmental exposure. ACM and aluminium construction resists corrosion and weathering. UV-stable graphics maintain colour and legibility. Regular inspection and prompt repair of any damage extends lifespan further. We specify materials appropriate to each location's exposure conditions.
