Large format work is judged from a distance and punished by the weather. Material, ink, finishing and installation matter as much as the design, because a beautiful banner that tears in the wind is not a finished job.
Events, retail and showroom environments, vehicle branding, estate and compound signage, and campaign work that has to survive outdoors.
A banner facing the sea breeze, a vinyl applied to a shopfront window and a rigid board on a compound wall need different materials. We specify for sun, wind and rain, and choose finishes that will still look right at the end of the campaign rather than on installation day.
Large printing exposes artwork that looked fine on a laptop. Vector files are used wherever possible, images are supplied at the resolution the final size requires, and panel seams are planned into the layout instead of cutting through a face or a headline.
Hemming, eyelets, framing and tensioning decide whether a print survives its first month outdoors. We coordinate or carry out installation, take photographs of the finished work, and note what was used so a replacement matches without starting over.
Vector artwork is used wherever possible, and where images are needed they are supplied at whatever the final size genuinely requires. That is checked before printing rather than discovered afterwards, which is why we ask for source files instead of screenshots or images pulled from a website.
Yes. We coordinate installation on walls, windows, vehicles, hoardings and indoor displays, and take photographs of the finished result. Where a client has their own installer, we provide the fixing specification and materials to match.
With the right material and ink, yes, for the intended life of the piece. We specify for the site and the duration: a banner for a two-day event and one that stays up for a year on a coastal road are not the same specification.
A short description of the project is enough to start. We will reply with how we would approach it, what it needs and what it would take.
