Most rejections come from signs outside the permitted zone, wrong materials or missing fixing details. We prepare drawings to each mall’s guidelines.
Mall Management Signage Approval Dubai
Every mall in Dubai has its own signage guidelines, and mall management must approve your shopfront sign — usually with consultant-stamped drawings — before installation and the authority approval.
