Did you know we can produce graffiti-resistant signage and outdoor advertising capable of frustrating even the most committed vandal?
The owner of a brand new baseball stadium in downtown Reno, NV needed an 8’x128’ barrier to keep fans out of a construction area. It had to be sturdy, and attractive, but given the expanse of the barrier, it was a perfect target for local “taggers.”
With the help of a local designer, and a special paint-resistant substrate our Sacramento office created an attractive barrier in keeping with the historic nature of the neighborhood. They printed 32 4’x8’ panels and fit them together seamlessly as one long wall, completed the installation in less than four hours, and left the owner with a construction barrier that was both attractive and effective.
Graffiti vandals left their mark the first night it was up. The next morning, a call from the ballpark superintendent brought our team to the rescue. The graffiti came off in seconds, and reports from the client are that the taggers have given up their attempts to deface the barrier.
Is graffiti a problem with your project? Let us show you how to defeat the taggers on your next job, defeat the taggers.

Printing a large poster in full, eye-popping color is right up our alley, but you might be surprised what we can do in three dimensions.
A non-profit client in Virginia wanted an advertising poster that told people what they did and tasked our local design team to come up with a memorable and visually arresting indoor poster for their offices.
The result was a combination of high-quality, large-format printing, and an inexpensive but creative way of cutting and mounting graphic panels to add dimension and visual interest to the installation. As a result, it not only told the client’s story, but made people stop and ask: “How’d they do that?”
Cost-effective and creative can go together. Let our designers help you create memorable advertising that helps you get noticed and tells your story. Contact us and let us show you some of the latest twists in promotional signage.

A few weeks ago, our division in Atlanta, Georgia was asked by a local architectural firm to distribute drawings and specifications for a new federal courthouse building in Austin, TX to various team members in multiple cities across the country.
Most shops would print and ship. We did it the other way around – with a new service we call ishipdocs™.
Six orders for a full set of design drawings arrived in our Atlanta offices on a Friday, with a delivery due date for the following Monday. Rather than printing the drawings, boxing them up and shipping them overnight to six different locations, we simply scanned and shipped them – digitally – to our printing facilities closest to the recipients. On Monday morning, the drawings were printed and delivered before the team members finished their first cup of coffee.
No boxes, no labels, no trucks or airplanes, just a huge network of print partners.
In 350 locations worldwide, there’s hardly a square mile on earth we can’t get documents do when you need them. Ask about ishipdocs for your next print distribution.
It’s easy, it’s earth-friendly, and it’s fast.
