Smudge Signs

THROW-BACK-THURSDAYS! Wee jobbie we did for our mates @ Onform Signs Smudge had the pleasure to fabricate x3 AMI exterior illuminated light boxes, Check it out!!

HEADS UP! Smudge might have officially left the building and just be treasured memories but we (Corey and Kylie) are excited to introduce our new venture - C02 laser cutting and engraving services directly for the signage and trade industries by Fleck NZ Please give our new page a follow and signees if you have any laser cutting needs then give us a holla on [email protected] We are no longer your competitor but hope to work alongside you instead!

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
After 15 years of what’s been a pretty amazing and wild ride, Corey and Kylie have decided it’s time for a change of direction in life and as a result of that the incredible run of Smudge will be coming to an end. We’ve put all our heart and soul into Smudge and are super proud and thankful for the company we’ve built, the amazing clients we’ve worked with and the incredible projects we’ve been privileged to be a part of.

We’re also super proud to announce that we’re going out on a high as alongside Ockham and their fantastic team we are finalists in the Designers Institute of NZ Best Design Awards Spatial Category for our work with them completing all of the wayfinding signage at their beautiful Aroha complex in Avondale: https://bestawards.co.nz/spatial/colour-award-spatial/ockham-residential/aroha/

Those in the industry – we will be looking to sell off the vast majority of our gear so if you have any interest in what we have please contact [email protected] please note this is NOT a financial decision so we are not looking to have a fire sale at bargain basement prices so please only get in touch if you have a genuine interest and are open to making fair and reasonable offers.

They say a change is as good as a holiday and we plan to do both! Make a change and have a holiday, so seems like a pretty good decision all around 😊 We’ll be trading and fully operational until the end of August so clients if you have any immediate needs over the next 3 weeks, please get in touch otherwise either Kylie or Corey will be in touch over the coming weeks to sign-off.

Finally – we want to pay massive thanks and tribute to our employees past and present (The Good Ones!) who’ve helped us build Smudge into what it is today. There are a number of individuals who’ve contributed a huge amount to the company (you know who you are) and we can never thank you enough.

On a personal level we’re super thankful to move forward having made so many great friends who will always be part of the Smudge Family no matter where we all end up. To our current team - your support as we’ve come to this decision has meant so much to us and we know you’ll kick ass in whatever you do next.

Thats all folks!!
Corey and Kylie
