About us

Locally owned and operated

After raising their family in Christchurch, Paul has returned to his hometown and the Tasman district bringing with him over 35 years of experience in the branding industry. A qualified signwriter and sports apparel guru, Paul has a solid understanding of what it takes to make your brand stand out.

When the opportunity arose to expand services for Signs on Time in 2024 with the addition of Design By George and embroidery services - we jumped at the chance! Linda came on board bringing her extensive knowledge of corporate apparel and workwear to the team.

Our Richmond showroom, provides a one-stop shop branding opportunity. With honest advice, quick turnarounds, and a few laughs. Our embroidery and heat press services are handled right here on-site and thanks to our trusted partnerships with quality garment suppliers across New Zealand, we can help you elevate your brand’s image.

A family-owned, community-focused business, we’re passionate about supporting our Top of the South region. Whether you're after custom team uniforms, promotional clothing or just a fun TEE for an event – we’re here to help.

Pop in and say hi – we’d love to meet you!

 

Custom Clothing & Branded Apparel

We’re a family-run business based right here in Nelson, New Zealand, and Design By George started with a love for unique, wearable art. Every day, we work together to bring you designs to life, whether it’s a custom work shirt, a school leavers’ hoodie, or a standout design that turns heads.

We pride ourselves on quality, attention to detail, and building lasting relationships with our clients.

From workwear for local businesses to sports teams and clubs, we’ve been lucky enough to work with amazing people who trust us to bring their brand to life!
