The branding arm of a manufacturing group.

DCS Design + Branding is a specialist signage, branding, print and digital display company, built on something most branding businesses don't have: a full-scale manufacturing operation behind it.

Retail environment branded and fitted by the Colab Group and DCS

Who we are

Specialists,
not generalists.

DCS was formed as the dedicated signage, print and branding division of the Colab Group - a group whose capabilities span manufacturing, shopfitting, installations and digital print. Where Colab builds retail environments, DCS brands them: signage, vinyl, environmental graphics, large-format print and digital display that make brands impossible to miss.

The business is led day-to-day by people who have spent their careers in signage and branding production - quoting it, drawing it, making it and installing it. That means when you deal with DCS, you deal with people who can tell you on the first call whether something can be built, what it will roughly cost, and how long it will take.

From concept interpretation to national rollouts, we sweat the details other people miss: substrates, fixings, tolerances, sight lines, compliance and the hundred small decisions that separate a sign that looks good on day one from one that still looks good in year five.

What we stand for

Values that survive
a deadline.

03 - Values

V.01Precision

Signage is unforgiving - a millimetre out is visible from the street. We measure twice, prototype where it matters, and finish like it carries our own name. Because it does.

V.02Integration

Direct access to the Colab Group's manufacturing floor means we control quality, cost and lead time in-house instead of managing subcontractor promises.

V.03Straight Answers

Real lead times, real costs, and a phone that gets answered. If something can't be done, we'll tell you - and offer the version that can.

V.04Built to Scale

One store or three hundred - our processes are designed for consistency across rollouts, so store 250 looks exactly like store 1.

Brief us like you'd brief your own team.
