Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated industrial signage manufacturer — operated from our facility at 2095 Logan Avenue and trusted by Manitoba warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, cold storage operators, and commercial property managers for area signs that meet operational signage standards and survive demanding industrial environments.

Area sign design has details that matter on the operational floor: lettering height has to be matched to typical viewing distance (zone signs in a 100-foot warehouse aisle need bigger lettering than office wayfinding), colour contrast has to read at industrial lighting levels (not just office daylight), and mounting hardware has to handle the install location (warehouse rack tops vs. office walls vs. exterior loading dock). Our team evaluates each project across these dimensions and produces signs that work in the actual environment they are installed in.

For facility-wide area signage rollouts — new warehouse opening, manufacturing facility expansion, multi-building campus, multi-tenant industrial property — we coordinate sign families with consistent fonts, colour codes, and substrate selection across hundreds of signs. We manufacture every sign in our Winnipeg facility on calibrated wide-format UV and screen-print equipment, with aluminum and ACM substrates from name-brand suppliers.

For Winnipeg facility managers and procurement teams running ongoing signage programs, we offer site assessment, signage system planning, and bulk-quote consolidation. Local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue or Canada-wide shipping for facilities across Manitoba and beyond. Rush 48hr service is available on most stock formats for new-facility opening deadlines and compliance projects.

For warehouse-wide aisle markers, rack labels, and complete facility signage systems, see our Custom Warehouse Signs. For workplace safety, caution, and danger signage, see our Safety Signs and Danger Signs. For directional and wayfinding signs, see our Directional Signs. For traffic regulatory signs on private property, see our Traffic Signs and Speed Signs. For adhesive floor decals and equipment caution stickers, see our Directional Stickers and Caution Stickers.
