Branding & Colours

Make It Your Own

Podion offers a range of branding options and colour finishes to suit your space and style.

Logo Options

Vinyl Wraps: Full panel printed vinyl applied edge-to-edge, ideal for large format logos, graphics or textured designs across the logo panel. Easy to remove or replace for quick, cost-effective rebranding.

Vinyl Print: Durable printed vinyl film applied directly to the logo panel, delivering clean colour, sharp detail and a smooth, integrated finish.

Acrylic Print: Reverse-printed artwork on clear acrylic, creating a glossy, premium finish with added depth and strong on-camera clarity.

3D Laser Cut:
Precision-cut acrylic or metal logo elements mounted to the panel for a bold, raised 3D look with high visual impact.

Timber-Finish Wraps

Apply a realistic timber-finish vinyl wrap to the front panels and column for a warm, contemporary aesthetic.

The wrap delivers durable surface protection and can be removed or replaced with ease - allowing rapid updates or restyling without affecting the lectern's original finish.

Custom Colours & Paint Finishes

Select from our standard matte or gloss powder-coat finishes, or request a custom colour to match your interior palette or brand guidelines.

Visual renders can be supplied to confirm the final look before production.
