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.

A steady client contacted our Houston division recently to ask if we could get a job printed in the U.K. He didn’t want to deal with customs delays and needed the job done in a day or two – the usual situation for us. We said: “No problem.” And we meant it. Houston called London, the necessary files for a series of large full-color posters were sent digitally to London, printed, and delivered to British Petroleum’s London offices the next day. Way ahead of deadline. If you need to get your presentation or marketing materials to the U.K. or Europe in a hurry, click HERE.
