PRICING OVERVIEW
Sign-shop pricing — what does what actually cost?
Honest price ranges and all cost factors for the four most common sign-shop services. Plus an AI quick-calculator for your specific job.
Most pricing research ends in the 'from €99' versus '€20,000+' grey zone — useless for real quoting. This page shows realistic 2026 market prices based on industry data and PlotonIQ calculations.
The four most common services: vehicle graphics, film (window/shop-front), illuminated signs and company signs. Each has a dedicated cost page with a price table, example calculation and price-driver explanation.

PRICE DRIVERS
What really drives every sign-shop price
Material & waste
Film in m², LED modules per piece, profiles by metre. Waste runs 15% (large format) to 40% (complex contours) and hits the price directly.
Labour & hourly rate
2026 regional hourly rates range from €55/h (east, simple plot work) to €120/h (Rhine-Main, LED electrics). Installation time is often underestimated.
Travel & logistics
Two crew, 150 km, van — that's €250–400 in travel alone. Clarify flat fee or per-kilometre billing before accepting the job.
Permits & statics
Light box on a facade = building permit. Large sign = structural engineering. Most shops forget these — they eat the margin.
