Wayfinding & Lettering

Clear, well-designed wayfinding makes a space feel considered. We print directional graphics, room identifiers, floor numbers, and typographic elements directly onto walls — no vinyl decals, no mounted plaques, just clean lettering integrated into the surface.

Key Benefits

Flush with the wall — no raised edges, no mounting hardware

Consistent typography and iconography across the entire space

Easily updated when rooms are reassigned or layouts change

Precise alignment and spacing handled by robotic printing

Works alongside broader branded environments

ADA-compatible designs when paired with tactile elements

Ideal For

Corporate offices and multi-tenant buildings Medical facilities and clinics Educational campuses and schools Hotels and hospitality venues Co-working spaces Government and municipal buildings

Our Process

Space Mapping

We document the walls, corridors, and rooms that need wayfinding elements.

Design System

A consistent set of fonts, icons, and sizing rules is established for the project.

Layout Approval

Each wall's content and placement is reviewed and approved before printing.

Surface Preparation

Walls are cleaned and primed where needed for consistent ink adhesion.

Printing

All wayfinding elements are printed with precise alignment and spacing.

Verification

Every label, arrow, and identifier is checked against the approved layout.

Compatible Surfaces

Smooth drywall Lightly textured drywall Primed concrete Painted wood or MDF Plaster

Wayfinding That Feels Designed, Not Added

Good wayfinding disappears into the architecture. It guides people without drawing attention to itself, and it looks like it was always part of the plan. That’s difficult to achieve with stick-on vinyl letters or bolt-mounted plaques — but it’s exactly what direct-to-wall printing delivers. The lettering is part of the wall, not on top of it.

We print room numbers, directional arrows, department names, floor identifiers, and simple iconography directly onto wall surfaces. The result is a wayfinding system that’s visually consistent, precisely aligned, and integrated with the overall design of the space.

A System, Not Just Labels

Effective wayfinding is more than putting a room number next to a door. It’s a system — a coordinated set of typographic and graphic decisions that work together across an entire building or campus. We approach every wayfinding project with that mindset, establishing a design framework that covers fonts, sizes, colors, icon styles, and placement rules before any printing begins.

This systematic approach is especially valuable for larger spaces: multi-floor offices, medical facilities, educational buildings, and hospitality properties. If your wayfinding project is part of a broader branded interior, it integrates naturally with our office interiors and logo and brand wall services.

Simple to Maintain, Easy to Update

One of the practical advantages of printed wayfinding is how straightforward updates are. When a conference room gets renamed or a department moves floors, we reprime the affected section and reprint. No scraping adhesive, no patching screw holes, no reordering custom plaques. The wall looks exactly as it did before — just with updated information.

If you’re planning a new build or a renovation that includes wayfinding, we coordinate with architects, GCs, and interior designers to align with your project timeline. For design support, our design and file prep service can help develop your wayfinding system from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match our existing signage design system?

Yes. If you have an established wayfinding design system — fonts, colors, icon sets — we work within those guidelines. If you're starting from scratch, we can help develop one.

Is printed wayfinding ADA compliant?

Printed graphics alone are visual and don't meet tactile ADA requirements. However, we can design printed wayfinding to work alongside tactile signs, Braille plaques, or other ADA-compliant elements for a cohesive system.

What happens when we need to update a room name or number?

The affected wall section is reprimed and reprinted. It's a targeted update — we don't need to redo the entire space. This makes printed wayfinding more adaptable than traditional signage.

Can you print small icons and thin typography accurately?

Yes. Our robotic printer handles fine detail well, including thin strokes, small point sizes, and simple iconography. We'll advise during the design phase if any elements need adjustment for optimal legibility.
