Paint

Despite popular opinion, painting & decorating is still as relevant today as it was in bygone eras.

Traditional Signwriting is enjoying a resurgence, thanks to the pivotal documentary ‘Sign Painters’ (2013) and a societal shift during COVID to embrace the bespoke, hand-crafted arts.

Hand-painted work tends to emanate the feeling of authenticity, often showcasing the texture of the surface. When something is produced by hand, the viewer will naturally feel a human connection to the artwork, often lost in the production of digitally printed solutions.

Hand painted with that old world charm

At Bala Graphics, our in-house painting team brings a wealth of Traditional Signwriting techniques, artistic precision and modern adaptability to every project.

People often speak about the charm and authenticity of hand-painted signage. There’s something innately human about brushstrokes on a wall — texture you can feel, craftsmanship you can see. This resurgence in traditional signwriting reflects a growing appreciation for bespoke work, where artistry and story meet.

We proudly champion this return to the handmade, blending time-honoured methods with contemporary application across retail spaces, hospitality venues, event activations, and more. Whether it’s reviving a heritage wall or adding character to a modern space, our painting services bring warmth, individuality, and lasting impact to every surface.

“We can't thank you enough for your gorgeous work on Maggie's custom plant label. It feels extra special to have it made by someone who appreciates her legacy, the industry and the artistry that goes into sign making.”
