Step 3. Choose your material, substrate or product to print on.

This is STICKER material. These materials come in hundreds of types and brand names. You may know 3M, Avery, Oracal, Arlon or Photo-tex as the industry players. However there are many more. Depending on what you need a sticker stuck to, what size you need and a varying number of other qualifying questions we will help you through this. At the bottom of the page you will see our proprietary PRINTS 12 questions form. 

Blocks out anything it is laid over the top of. It has a grey or black back side that covers whatever you lay it over. Remember that it will show anything that is raised from surface, regardless of the blocking of. If you have a window and you do not want the light to come through this option would be best. 

These vinyl's are used when you want to light up the vinly from behind. For instance if you were using in a lightbox and wanted it to glow at night. These materials have a very high transparency backer to allow for the most light allowed during manufacturing.

These vinyl's are manufactured to an exact color you are looking for. While all material for printed projects starts white, then we add color via a printing process. Die cuttable or Dyed vinyl's are made to specific pantone or color swatches right from the manufacture. Ask for a sample book if you are looking for this option. Otherwise we will print your colors to the file specs in your provided artwork, to include pantone matching if needed. 

This is a rather new say 10 years or so highly sought after product. It has many uses for indoor applications and is easy to apply and remove. Think of the FAT HEAD company, as they pioneered printing large stickers for your kids wall that go on and off easily. This product comes in Extra Strength, Block-out and Wall Graphic. Not recommended for outdoor use. 

These perforated style vinyl's are similar to regular vinyl other than a bunch of tiny holes throughout. These vinyl's come in many different hole patterns for clarity and visibility  These are called out by percentages based on the pass through of light. IE 50/50 or 70/30  Meaning if you have an office window and you want the best print quality and image coverage you may choose a 50/50 perf. This means 50% of available surface is printable and 50%  of surface or lack there of are holes. If you want to wrap the back window of your vehicle which safety is of concern, you may want to or should I say HAVE to use a 70/30 to keep a clear view.  The holes in the perforated vinyl are larger allowing more light and more sight than the alternate. Meaning only 30% of the surface is available for the image.  Making larger fonts and larger designs more beneficial. We will talk about that later on  in the creative section. 

 With so many people now staring down at their phones, floors and sidewalks have become a prominent focal point. floor graphic films have the durability to withstand thousands of footsteps and come with a non- skid texture for slip safety.  Whether you need a printed graphic on a floor inside a retail space or a sidewalk outside in the elements, we have a material for that   

  Vinyl banner material is listed based on weights, typically ranging from 9 oz per square yard to 22 oz per square yard. The more your vinyl retains weight, the more likely it is to hold up under extreme outdoor conditions This banner is made with scrim vinyl, which is reinforced with polyester cording for strength and durability. It is a heavy-duty 1000 x 1000 denier with a front-lit matte finish that helps reduce glare and promote readability- This can be printed on with many different types of process's.  This is the SINGLE most common banner you will come across, almost 60% of the banner you see in the world is 13OZ.  Banners are meant to be temporary but are great for indoor or outdoor applications.  Available in 10oz and 15oz should the need arise. 

Mesh banner was essentially created to allow air to flow without losing your image quality.  There are also like perforated vinyl, different levels of mesh, however there is a most commonly used mesh  in the market place. These banners are mostly used for OUTDOOR applications that take the safety of air transfer into consideration. If you apply a regular banner to a fence, the wind might blow down the fence before the banner fails. However if you apply a mesh banner to the fence, they both let air flow, allowing you to sleep better on windy days. 

Due to the advance of technology, fabric printing has taken the industry by storm.  As you can imaging like the fabric or textile's market there are an enormous amount of fabric types. However in our printing process we use about FIVE common types. Of these types, there are an endless number of applications or uses for each.  Small indoor banners with an extremly pleasant smooth laying end product, we suggest fabric. We will help you determine fabric type based on your product needs.  We use a SOFT KNIT, HEAVY KNIT, ELASTIC, STRETCH, and SHARKS TOOTH. We will choose the right fabric for your project. Fabrics can have a sheen, be a blockout type or thin semi see through. 

This specific banner type is used for large backlit billboards or pylon signs.  When you drive into a target shopping center,  that big sign is most likely this product. If you know you need this you don't need us to teach you about it :)  Mostly used for shopping center and trade show applications. 

 Backlit film or Dura-trans which is a brand name is used for signage that has illumination behind the graphic. This material is slightly rigid, can be bent but if too far will crease or crack and effect your graphic appearance. This is a slim translucent film with plasticky feel that fits into light boxes and other backlit applications - Can be free hung with certain finishing options or slide in graphic holding rails.
