Custom QR code business sign for social media

How Much Does Custom Business Signage Cost in NZ? (Real Prices, 2026)

I got a DM last week that goes something like this every time: “hey how much for a sign?” No size, no material, no idea what it’s even for. And I get why — nobody publishes real numbers for this stuff, so people ask blind and hope for the best.

So here’s the honest version, with actual prices, not “get in touch for a quote.” I’m going through what I actually charge for the things small businesses ask for most: QR signs, logo badges, menu boards, keyrings, prize wheels, and the big statement pieces. Numbers current as of 2026 — I’ll keep this updated as things change.

QR code signs: $40–$110

Double panel mirrored acrylic QR code sign for businesses

This is the one almost every stall, salon, and cafe ends up wanting — something that gets people to your Instagram, your review page, or your online store without you having to say a word.

  • Mini QR code tabletop sign (custom logo) — from $40
  • Single panel QR sign — $80
  • Double panel, mirrored acrylic, 2 QR codes — $95
  • Large QR sign with business card holder panel — $105
  • Large rectangular double panel — $110

The jump in price is mostly panels and QR codes — one panel with one code is the cheapest way in, and every extra panel or code adds material and layout time.

Business logo badges & tabletop signs: $25–$100

3D acrylic round business logo badge

These are the small, repeated brand touches — the thing that makes you look like an actual business rather than a stall someone threw together this morning.

  • 3D acrylic logo badge, circular — $25
  • Logo tabletop sign, 140mm x 130mm — $40
  • Custom logo sign, engraved wood, round — $50
  • Business logo sign, round, wooden with 3D acrylic lettering — $55
  • Custom logo sign, acrylic, round, 3D lettering — $100

Wood-engraved versions sit at the cheaper end; anything with raised, 3D acrylic lettering costs more because it’s built in layers rather than cut flat.

Menu & info boards: $15–$65

Clear acrylic drinks and menu sign
  • Drinks menu sign, clear acrylic — $15
  • Dinner menu sign, acrylic — $30
  • A4 menu sign — $65

Simple and functional — this category is genuinely one of the cheapest ways to look pulled-together at a cafe counter or bar.

Keyrings: $15–$30

NFC and QR code keyrings for businesses

Low cost, high repeat-touch — these are the thing that ends up on someone’s actual keys, seen every day, long after a business card’s been binned.

  • Promotional QR code keyring, single layer — $15
  • QR code keyring, double layer — $25.95
  • NFC keyring — $27.95
  • NFC & QR code keyring — $29.95

Prize wheels: $155–$195 (or $55 to hire)

Small tabletop acrylic spinning prize wheel

The highest ticket item on this list, and also the one I get the most questions about — because most people assume it’s a gimmick until they watch what it does to foot traffic.

  • Small tabletop acrylic prize wheel — $155
  • Mirrored acrylic luxe prize wheel — $195
  • Hire a wheel for one event — $55

If you’re not sure a wheel earns its keep yet, hiring one first is the honest way to find out before you commit to buying.

Big statement signage: $230–$299

Large A1 acrylic business sign with custom text

For a stall, storefront, or event backdrop that needs to be seen from across the room.

  • A1 business sign, custom text — $230
  • A1 business logo sign, rectangle with 3D logo/text — $240
  • Business logo sign, rectangle, 1200 x 600mm — $299

What actually drives the price

A few things move the number more than anything else:

Material. Wood-engraved pieces are generally cheaper than acrylic with raised, 3D-cut lettering — the acrylic is built in layers, which takes longer.

Size. This one’s obvious but worth saying plainly: an A1 sign is always going to cost more than a mini tabletop version of the same idea, because it’s simply more material and more machine time.

Panels and codes. For QR signs specifically, this is the biggest lever — a single panel with one code is the entry price, and each additional panel or code adds to it.

3D vs flat lettering. Flat, laser-cut text costs less than raised 3D lettering. Both look good; one just takes more steps to make.

Extras. A business card holder panel, a second colour, hire vs buy — small additions, small price movements.

If you’re weighing up what to get first, I’d genuinely start with whichever one solves the problem you actually have right now — a QR sign if you need people finding you online, a logo badge if you want to look consistent at every market, a menu board if people keep asking what you sell. You don’t need all of it at once.

I’ll refresh these numbers every few months so this stays accurate — if you’re reading this and a price looks off, it probably means it’s time I updated it.
