Business park pylons work best with printed tenant panels that can be swapped individually. We print and cut panels to fit your pylon frame and keep the layout on file for future tenants. Boldmedia Print Zimbabwe can also supply new pylons, subject to a site survey where needed.
Business park pylons identify an office park, industrial estate or commercial precinct and list the companies located inside. They are usually placed at the main entrance and sometimes at internal junctions, giving visitors and delivery drivers the park name, tenant names and unit or building numbers in one place. Because tenants come and go, the tenant section is normally made up of changeable slats or panels.
Compared with a retail centre pylon, a business park pylon tends to be more about information than advertising: clear tenant lists, unit numbers and directions matter more than large logos. A good one is sized for drivers to read at entrance speed, uses a consistent layout for every tenant and allows panels to be updated quickly and affordably. They range from tall roadside pylons to lower totem-style directories inside the park.

Supplying measurements
Send the location on the site plan, the number of tenants to list now and in future, and photos of the entrance. If you need directional totems inside the park, mark their positions as well.
Artwork requirements
The park's logo is needed in vector format (PDF, AI, EPS or SVG). Tenant names can be set in a uniform typeface from a simple list, which keeps the directory neat and consistent.
Survey and installation
Pylons and freestanding directories need foundations and structural design with engineering input where required. A site survey is usually needed before a formal quotation, particularly if illumination requires power to be run to the sign by a qualified electrician.
Maintenance
Tenant slats should be updated as soon as occupants change so the directory stays accurate. Clean the pylon periodically and check lighting and fixings during routine estate maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
How do we update tenant names when someone moves out?
Tenant slats are designed to be replaced individually, so only the changed panel needs to be produced.
Should the tenant list be illuminated?
It helps for after-hours visitors and deliveries; non-illuminated slats are a more economical option.
Can you also do directional signs inside the park?
Yes, internal totems and directional signs can be designed to match the entrance pylon.
