Large Format Printing Services

Our large format printing capabilities cover a wide range of products designed for both indoor and outdoor applications. Whatever your project requires, we can produce it at virtually any size with vivid, full-color graphics that hold up over time.

Banners: Custom vinyl and fabric banners are one of the quickest and most cost-effective ways to promote your business, event, or sale. We produce everything from small retractable banner stands for trade shows to massive outdoor banners that can span 40 feet or more. Standard finishing includes hemmed edges with brass grommets for secure mounting.

Wall Murals: Transform blank walls into stunning branded environments. Our wall murals are printed on premium adhesive materials that apply smoothly and can be removed without damaging surfaces. Perfect for lobbies, conference rooms, retail spaces, and restaurants.

Window Graphics: Turn your storefront windows into powerful marketing real estate. We offer perforated window film that displays your graphics on the outside while maintaining visibility from the inside, along with opaque vinyl, frosted film, and clear cling options.

Trade Show Displays: Make your booth the one people remember. We produce retractable banner stands, pop-up backdrops, tabletop displays, hanging signs, and custom booth graphics that travel easily and set up in minutes.

Vehicle Graphics: Take your advertising on the road with custom vehicle wraps, partial wraps, and fleet graphics. A single wrapped vehicle can generate thousands of impressions every day as it moves through the Triangle area.

Floor Graphics: An often-overlooked surface that offers excellent advertising potential. Our floor graphics use slip-resistant laminate and durable adhesive materials rated for foot traffic in retail stores, lobbies, gyms, and event venues.

Construction Barricades: Turn construction barriers and temporary walls into branding opportunities. We print full-color wraps for barricade panels that keep your project looking professional while promoting your business or upcoming opening.

Point of Purchase Displays: Drive sales at the moment of decision with custom printed POP displays, standees, counter cards, and hanging signs that highlight promotions and new products right where customers are shopping.

Materials & Media

Choosing the right material is just as important as the design itself. Our team will help you select the best media for your specific application, environment, and budget. Here are some of the most popular materials we work with:

• Vinyl: The most versatile large format material, available in adhesive-backed, banner-grade, and specialty finishes. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use with excellent durability and color vibrancy.
• Fabric: Lightweight and wrinkle-resistant, fabric prints are popular for trade show backdrops, hanging banners, and retail displays. They offer a premium look and are easy to transport.
• Mesh: Perforated vinyl mesh allows wind to pass through, making it the go-to choice for large outdoor banners on fences, buildings, and scaffolding where wind load is a concern.
• Canvas: For a textured, gallery-quality finish, canvas prints work beautifully in offices, restaurants, and upscale retail environments.
• Adhesive Vinyl: Available in glossy, matte, and specialty finishes for applying graphics directly to walls, windows, floors, and vehicles.
• Magnetic Media: A removable option perfect for vehicle door signs, metal surfaces, and applications where graphics need to be swapped out frequently.
• Corrugated Plastic (Coroplast): Lightweight and weatherproof, ideal for yard signs, directional signage, and temporary outdoor displays.
• Foam Board: Rigid and lightweight, foam board prints are great for indoor presentations, point of purchase displays, and mounted signage.

Our Process

We have refined our large format printing process to deliver consistent, high quality results with a smooth experience from start to finish.

1. Consultation: Every project starts with a conversation. We discuss your goals, intended placement, size requirements, timeline, and budget. If you need help deciding which product or material is the best fit, our team will guide you through the options with honest recommendations.

2. Design & Artwork Preparation: Already have print-ready artwork? We will review your files and confirm they meet the resolution and format requirements for large format output. Need design help? Our in-house team can create custom graphics, adapt your existing branding, or build a layout from scratch.

3. Printing: Using state-of-the-art wide format printers with eco-solvent and UV-curable inks, we produce prints with sharp detail, rich color saturation, and consistent quality across the entire surface. Our equipment handles widths up to 64 inches and virtually unlimited lengths.

4. Finishing & Lamination: Depending on the application, we apply protective lamination to guard against UV fading, scratches, moisture, and general wear. We also handle cutting, hemming, grommeting, mounting, and any other finishing your project requires.

5. Installation: For wall murals, window graphics, vehicle wraps, and other applications that require professional installation, our experienced installers ensure a clean, bubble-free application that looks flawless and lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical turnaround time for large format printing?
Most standard projects are completed within 3 to 5 business days from artwork approval. Rush orders are available for time-sensitive projects. Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the job, materials required, and whether installation is included.

What file formats do you accept for print-ready artwork?
We accept high-resolution PDF, AI (Adobe Illustrator), EPS, PSD (Photoshop), and TIFF files. For large format printing, artwork should be at least 150 DPI at full size or 300 DPI at half size. If you are unsure about your files, send them over and we will review them at no charge.

How long do large format prints last outdoors?
With proper lamination and UV-resistant inks, most outdoor large format prints last 3 to 5 years or longer depending on the material, exposure conditions, and finishing. Indoor prints can last significantly longer since they are not exposed to weather and direct sunlight.

Is there a minimum order size or quantity?
No. We are happy to produce a single banner, one wall mural, or a complete fleet of vehicle wraps. Every project receives the same level of care and attention regardless of size.

What factors affect the cost of large format printing?
The main factors include the size of the print, the material selected, the complexity of the design, finishing options (such as lamination, grommets, or mounting), and whether professional installation is needed. We provide free, detailed estimates so there are never any surprises.
