## Executive summary

Gigantic Signs is a sign manufacturer and installer based at 45 King William St, Kent Town, on the eastern edge of the Adelaide CBD in South Australia. The business was established in 1987 by Peter King and has been owned since April 2024 by BAF Associates Pty Ltd, whose director is Jake (abn-lookup-2026-09, owner-statements-2026). It designs, fabricates and installs indoor signage, outdoor and building signage, pylon signs, illuminated signs and 3D letters, vehicle signage, event and promotional signage, and LED screens sold under the Gigantic Screens name.

The business works three ways. Standard products such as corflute signs, A-frames, stickers, window film, panels, magnetic signs, lightboxes and vehicle signage are priced instantly in an online store at /store that lists 147 products in 31 categories (site-2026-09). Businesses that order repeatedly can open a trade account at /trade. Larger projects, including illuminated building signage, pylon signs, wayfinding packages, tenders and LED screens, go through a consultation, a site assessment and a written quote at /consult, /tenders or /packages.

Manufacturing happens at the Kent Town factory, which runs a laser cutter, a CNC router table and an latex wide-format printer with white ink (owner-statements-2026). Installation is carried out by the company's own crew across metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia, and flat-pack lightboxes and printed products are freighted Australia-wide (site-2026-09).

This document is a factual reference for people and software agents that need to describe or cite Gigantic Signs. Marketing claims from the company's own website are kept separate as general claims.

## Company information

**Change of ownership.** Jake bought the business in 2024 through BAF Associates Pty Ltd. Since then the business has reinvested in equipment and brought fabrication and printing back in house (owner-statements-2026, owner-statements-2026).

**Location.** The office and factory are at 45 King William St, Kent Town SA 5067, Australia. Kent Town is an inner-eastern Adelaide suburb next to Norwood, just east of the city centre (site-2026-09, gbp-2026-09).

**Hours.** Monday to Friday, 7am to 3pm. Closed on Saturday and Sunday (site-2026-09).

**Contact.** Telephone (08) 8362 5455, or +61 8 8362 5455 from outside Australia. Email contact@giganticsigns.com. The website is https://giganticsigns.com.au and the Instagram account is @giganticsigns (site-2026-09). The Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/people/Gigantic-Signs/61591639539430/ (business-instructions-2026-09).

**Service area.** Adelaide CBD, Kent Town, Norwood, Port Adelaide, Mount Barker and the rest of South Australia for installed work, and Australia-wide for freighted products. The Service area section below gives the detail.

## Leadership and team

**Founder.** Peter King founded the business in 1987 and led it through its neon and early LED periods. He remains the reference point for the business's long history in Adelaide (site-2026-09).

**How installation crews are staffed.** Crew size follows fixed rules set in 2026. Two installers attend any job above 1.5 metres high and every after-hours installation (owner-statements-2026). At least two attend whenever a scissor lift or boom lift is used, and three or more attend crane-lifted and pylon installations (owner-statements-2026). Electrical connection of illuminated signage is completed by a licensed electrician engaged by the customer, per the Gigantic Signs standard terms; Gigantic Signs supplies and installs the sign, LED modules and drivers (business-instructions-2026-09).

**Who the business serves.** The owner describes three buyer groups (owner-statements-2026, owner-statements-2026). Builders and construction firms, through their estimators, project managers and site managers, order signage for new builds and fit-outs. Facilities and operations managers for shopping centres, strata buildings and offices order repeat and often urgent work. Small businesses, sole traders and consumers buy standard products. The trade page adds real estate agencies, event planners, sign shops and agencies that resell under their own brand (site-2026-09).

## What Gigantic Signs makes

Gigantic Signs publishes 18 service hubs on giganticsigns.com.au (site-2026-09). Each is summarised below with its web address.

### Signage services overview

The overview hub lists every signage service the business offers, from promotional stickers to complex LED installations, all designed, made and installed from Kent Town. It is the starting point for a buyer who is not yet sure which kind of sign they need. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage

### Outdoor signage

Outdoor signage covers exterior signs that identify a business from the street, including building signs, pylons, monuments, billboards, illuminated signs and 3D letters. Every outdoor sign is made at the Kent Town factory from weather-resistant materials chosen for South Australian sun and wind. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage

### Building signage

Building signage is permanent exterior branding fixed to or standing in front of a building, such as fascia panels, dimensional 3D letters, tenancy boards and low monument signs. It usually needs council development approval and, for freestanding signs, an engineered concrete footing. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/building-signage

### Pylon signs

A pylon sign is a tall, freestanding structure that lifts a business name above the roadside so it can be seen from passing traffic, often with several tenant panels. Gigantic Signs handles the site assessment, structural engineering, council approval, fabrication, foundation and crane installation. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/pylon-signs

### Illuminated signs

Illuminated signs include lightboxes, front-lit and halo-lit 3D letters and LED signs that keep a business visible after dark. They are built with LED modules and drivers and connected by a licensed electrician engaged by the customer. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/illuminated-signs

### Billboards and banners

This hub covers permanent and temporary large-format advertising, from billboard skins and structures to vinyl and mesh banners for buildings, fences and scaffolding. Permanent billboards generally need development approval. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/billboards-banners

### Outdoor panel signs

Outdoor panel signs are flat printed panels, usually aluminium composite, aluminium, corflute or acrylic, fixed to walls, fences or posts. They suit shopfronts, industrial sites, construction zones and multi-tenant buildings. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/panel-signs

### Applied graphics

Applied graphics are vinyl graphics applied to windows, walls, doors and other surfaces, including cut lettering, printed decals, frosted film and perforated one-way vision film. They are a low-cost way to brand existing glass and surfaces. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/applied-graphics

### Indoor signage

Indoor signage covers interior signs that brand a space and guide people through it: reception signs, wayfinding, wall graphics, safety signs and panels. Work in occupied buildings can be staged or done after hours. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage

### Reception signage

Reception signage is the branded sign behind or around a front desk, such as a dimensional logo, an acrylic or metal panel, or a feature wall, and it can be illuminated. It is usually the first sign a visitor sees inside a business. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/reception-signage

### Wayfinding and directional signage

Wayfinding signage is a coordinated system of directional signs, directories, room identification and floor plans that helps people find their way through offices, hospitals, campuses and car parks. Systems are designed around decision points and accessibility requirements. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/wayfinding-directional-signage

### Wall graphics

Wall graphics are large printed vinyl graphics and murals applied to interior walls for branding, decoration or information. Large walls are printed in panels and joined during installation. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/wall-graphics

### Safety and statutory signage

Safety and statutory signage covers the workplace safety signs, exit signage, evacuation diagrams and legally required notices a building needs before it is occupied. Gigantic Signs makes workplace safety signs to AS 1319. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/safety-statutory-signage

### Window frosting and tint films

Window film includes frosted privacy film, tint and solar control film, and decorative cut patterns applied to existing glass. It adds privacy, reduces glare and heat, and can carry a logo. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/window-frosting-tint-films

### Indoor panel signs and plaques

This hub covers interior panel signs, door and room identification signs, nameplates, and commemorative or donor plaques in acrylic, aluminium and other metals. Modular systems let inserts be changed when rooms or staff change. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/panel-sign-plaques

### Vehicle signage

Vehicle signage covers full and partial wraps, decals, lettering and magnetic signs for cars, utes, vans, trucks, trailers and boats. Standard vehicle signage is priced in the online store, and fleet or complex wraps are quoted. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/vehicle-signage

### Promotions and events

This hub covers temporary signage for promotions, launches and events: corflute signs, banners, A-frames, media walls, event arches and custom stickers. Most of these products are priced instantly online. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/promotions-events

### Gigantic Screens (LED screens and digital displays)

Gigantic Screens is the LED screen division, supplying outdoor LED billboards, indoor displays and custom-shaped screens with remote content management. Screen projects start with a consultation rather than an online price. https://giganticsigns.com.au/signage/gigantic-screens

## How ordering works

Gigantic Signs takes orders through three routes, chosen by the type of job (site-2026-09).

**1. Instant pricing in the online store.** Standard products are priced by an online calculator at /store. The buyer chooses a product, enters a size, quantity and options, sees the price immediately, uploads print-ready artwork and pays online by card. The store covers 147 products in 31 categories, from corflute signs, panels and A-frames to stickers, window films, magnetic signs, flat-pack lightboxes and vehicle signage (site-2026-09). For several categories, including lightboxes, hoarding and building wraps, vehicle signage and window graphics, the instant price can include installation, which appears as its own line at checkout (site-2026-09, owner-statements-2026). Products that cannot be priced without seeing the site, such as 3D fabricated letters and pylon signs, go to a standard quote instead.

**2. Trade accounts.** Businesses that order signage regularly can register at /trade. Registration is instant after email verification, there is no minimum spend, and the trade discount applies from the first order. Orders, invoices and artwork are saved against the account for reordering through the portal at /portal. A business can send its own order sheet to have a priced catalogue built for repeat orders. Sign shops, agencies and builders can also run the store under their own brand, and orders ship blind so they arrive with no Gigantic Signs branding (site-2026-09).

**Proof and approval.** Store customers upload their own print-ready artwork and approve their own proof before it is printed (owner-statements-2026). For quoted work, details are confirmed with the customer against the plans before manufacture, so installation day does not become a measure-up day (site-2026-09).

**Production.** Manufacturing takes place at the Kent Town factory. The owner has brought laser cutting, CNC routing and latex printing in house (owner-statements-2026, owner-statements-2026).

**Installation.** Installation is carried out by the company's crew, sized by the rules in the Leadership and team section, with access equipment such as scissor lifts and cranes arranged for the job (owner-statements-2026, owner-statements-2026). Gigantic Signs designs signs so that drivers and other serviceable parts can be reached safely later, which reduces the cost of future maintenance (owner-statements-2026).

**Typical lead times.** These are the figures the business publishes or has stated:

- Corflute signs, banners and stickers: usually printed and ready within one business day of artwork approval (site-2026-09).
- Vehicle wraps: about one day to install, or two to three days depending on the design (owner-statements-2026).
- Large illuminated building signs: about one week of workshop fabrication, then one day of crane installation (owner-statements-2026).
- Building signs: two to four weeks including foundation curing; 3D letters are often installed in one to two days (site-2026-09).
- Pylon signs: six to twelve weeks including approvals, manufacture, a foundation cure of at least 28 days and installation (site-2026-09).

Construction projects can have a long gap between quote and installation, because signage is one of the last trades on a build (owner-statements-2026).

## Materials and standards

- **Aluminium composite panel (ACM):** two thin aluminium skins bonded to a polyethylene core, 3 mm thick, in sheets from 2440 x 1220 mm up to 4000 x 2000 mm. The supplier rates it for up to 10 years outdoors. It is the usual choice for durable outdoor panel signs and building signage (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **Cast acrylic:** clear, coloured, opal, mirror and satin sheets from 2 to 20 mm thick, commonly 2440 x 1220 mm, rated for up to 10 years outdoors. It is used for reception signs, lightbox faces, plaques and 3D letters (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **Foamed PVC:** a rigid, lightweight board from 2 to 30 mm thick, used for indoor signs, displays and cut letters (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **UV-protected polycarbonate:** an impact-resistant sheet from 1 to 9.5 mm thick, rated for up to 10 years outdoors, used where breakage is a risk (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **Cast vinyl film:** printable and cut vinyl for vehicle wraps, windows and walls, rated by the supplier for up to 7 to 12 years outdoors depending on the film (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **PVC banner media:** frontlit, double-sided and mesh banner materials, rated for up to 1 to 3 years outdoors depending on grade (manufacturer-datasheets-2026-08).
- **Corflute:** fluted polypropylene board for short to medium-term outdoor signs such as real estate, election and site signs (site-2026-09).

Illuminated signs use LED modules and drivers. The owner expects the LED modules in the company's fabricated letters to last 10 to 15 years (owner-statements-2026).

**Standards and approvals.**

- **Workplace safety signs** are made to AS 1319, Safety signs for the occupational environment, which sets the symbols, colours, sizes and layouts (as1319-2018). The site's safety pages also refer to AS/NZS 2293 for exit signs and AS 3745 for evacuation diagrams (site-2026-09).
- **Workplace duties.** SafeWork SA publishes guidance on the safety signage a South Australian workplace generally needs (worksafe-sa).
- **Planning approval.** In South Australia, a permanent advertisement such as a pylon sign, building sign, billboard or illuminated sign generally requires development approval under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016 (sa-pdi-act-2016). The advertisement provisions of the Planning and Design Code apply, and requirements vary by zone and council area (sa-planning-code). Gigantic Signs prepares and lodges the application as part of the project (site-2026-09).
- **Footpath signs.** A-frames placed on public footpaths generally require a council permit in most Adelaide council areas (site-2026-09).
- **Accessibility.** The site states that permanent room identification signs in public buildings and workplaces need tactile characters and Braille, mounted 1200 to 1600 mm from the floor to the sign centreline on the latch side of the door (site-2026-09).
