How It Works
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Submitting low-resolution artwork
Large format requires minimum 72dpi at final print size (not screen resolution). A file that looks sharp on screen will print pixelated at 14m wide. Always supply vector or at least 150dpi at scale.
Ignoring DM hoarding height limits
Dubai Municipality enforces a strict 3.0m maximum height for site hoardings. Panels printed taller than permit dimensions will be rejected by the inspector on site.
Choosing frontlit for bridge spans
Solid vinyl on bridge structures traps wind like a sail. At 100kph+ gulf gusts, this causes structural failures and dangerous tears. Always specify micro-mesh for exposed elevated installations.
No bleed on panel artwork
Without a 50mm bleed on all edges, the finished banner will show unprinted white borders after hemming and trimming. Always extend background artwork beyond the cut line.
Skipping a physical proof for first orders
Screen colour profiles differ from print output. For brand-critical campaigns, request a physical A3 press proof before full production to verify colour accuracy against your brand standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your billboards comply with Dubai Municipality (DM) regulations?
Yes, all our billboard prints are manufactured exactly to Dubai Municipality permit specifications, ensuring your materials meet local safety and sizing guidelines.
How much does a billboard on Sheikh Zayed Road cost to print?
While the advertising space rental is separate, printing a standard 4m x 3m SZR billboard costs around AED 1,800–3,500 depending on material. Contact us for a precise quote based on your exact structure dimensions.
Are your inks resistant to Dubai's summer heat?
Absolutely. We use premium UV-cured inks that offer 3–5 years of outdoor life, preventing fading from intense direct sunlight and sandstorms.
Can you coordinate with my Dubai installation team?
Yes, we regularly coordinate delivery and finishing details (like heat-welded seams and heavy-duty eyelets) directly with rigging teams operating in Dubai.
Seasonal Demand & Campaign Planning
📅 Ramadan Campaign Season (Feb–Mar)
Ramadan outdoor campaigns require 5–8 day lead times due to industry-wide demand surge. Submit artwork by mid-January to guarantee slot allocation. Crescent and star motifs must comply with National Media Council (NMC) religious content guidelines.
📅 UAE National Day (Nov–Dec)
Red, green, white, and black colour-matched campaigns are mandatory for government-facing locations. Specify Pantone 347C (green) and Pantone 485C (red) at proof stage to ensure flag colour accuracy.
📅 GITEX & Cityscape (Oct)
Exhibition approach road campaigns book up 6–8 weeks in advance. Bridge spans on Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Khail Road are in highest demand. Book production and installation slots by August for October events.
