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 authenticity of bespoke, hand-crafted arts.

We proudly champion this return to the handmade, blending time-honoured methods with contemporary application across retail spaces, hospitality venues, event activations, and more.

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, something often lost in the production of digitally printed solutions — 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.

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.
