Photomural Panels for Pop-up Style Displays
A Photomural Panel is a large single graphic.  Your image may span across several panels (a 10’ Pop-up has 4 Front Panels) and even continue into the display’s end caps if desired.  Photomural panels take the place of traditional fabric panels, so you won’t need the fabric to cover your pop-up frame.

Photomural panels hang on hooks at the top of the frame and have magnet strips along the edge which connect to the frame’s channel bars.  This magnetic connection makes photomurals easy to align for a seamless image. 

Detachable or Rollable Graphics
Detachable graphics are generally smaller graphics commonly used with pop-up displays that have fabric panels covering the frame.  These types of display graphics use Velcro strips to adhere to the fabric surface.  Detachable graphics are also ideal if you need to change your message for different shows, audiences, or markets.  

Frontlit Rollable Graphics
High resolution graphic print on film.  A textured, matte, luster or glossy laminate is applied to the front to protect the print.  An opaque backer is applied to the back to serve as a light blocker and reinforcement.  These graphics are usually applied to an exhibit with Velcro.

Backlit Rollable Graphics
High resolution graphic print on translucent film.  A textured, matte, luster or glossy laminate is applied to the front to protect the print.  A clear backer is applied to the back to reinforce the graphic.  These graphics are meant to be backlit and are usually installed inside light boxes, or affixed to a frame.

 
Rigid Mounted Graphics
Mounted graphics are used in many trade show exhibits.  Rigid graphics do require crating for transport.

Sintra Mounted
High resolution print on durable Sintra (PVC board), which is available in the following thicknesses: 2mil, 3mil, and 6mil.  These graphics are opaque and can be printed on both sides.  They may be installed in a frame system, or affixed with Velcro.

Acrylic (Plexi) Mounted
High resolution print on milk or clear acrylic sheets, which are available in the following thicknesses: 1/16”, 1/8”, 1/4”, and 1/2”.  These graphics may be backlit or frontlit.  Acrylic mounted graphics may be installed inside light boxes or used with metal extrusion type exhibits, as pictured below.

Stand-off Graphics
Stand-off graphics utilize aluminum barrels that are designed to hold signs, architectural panels, glass panels, banners, photographs, artwork and other materials a predetermined distance away from the surface upon which they are mounted.  They can work vertically and horizontally.

Numerous diameters and standard lengths are available.  Stand-off Caps come in Round, Low Profile Round, Hexagonal (Hex), or Square shapes.  Grippers, Edge Grips and Saddle Grips will mount materials without the need for drilling.

Stand-off graphics are normally face mounted to Acrylic plex; however the graphic may be sandwiched between two pieces of plex.

3-Dimensional letters and logos
Custom cut letters and logos may be done with several different materials, such as Gatorfoam, Sintra, or Acrylic.  These materials can be ¼”, ½”, 1”, or in some cases, 2” thick.  The face may be covered with laminate, brushed aluminum or a digital print while the edge can be painted or color vinyl can be applied.  Vector artwork is required to produce these graphics.

Dye Sublimation Fabric Graphics
A dye sublimation graphic (or dye sub graphic) is produced by printing an image onto paper and then heat is applied to transfer the dye directly onto the fabric.  While there is no coating applied to the print, the ink is sublimated into the threads.  Therefore Dye Sublimation graphics are machine washable, adding to your displays longevity.  Dye sublimation printers use CMYK color callouts. 

Dye Sublimation printers are designed and used for producing photographic prints.  Dye Sublimation graphics may be printed on opaque or sheer fabrics and finished with Velcro, grommets, pole pockets, or expansion beading that fits into metal extrusions.  For opaque prints a liner may be added to serve as a light blocker.  Or a second print may be sewn to the back to create a double-sided graphic.  The translucent or sheer fabric creates a bleed through effect, allowing you to see the mirror image on the back of the print.  Dye Sublimation graphics are also used in Tension Fabric Displays, such as One Fabs, Entasi, and Axis Displays. 

With the new generation of wide-format digital printers and the expanding variety of specialty media designed for them, the creative possibilities for producing applications using dye sublimation are endless.

Vinyl Banners
Vinyl is a very flexible as well as portable material; therefore vinyl banners have many uses and applications.  Vinyl banners are commonly seen as billboards, trade show banners, building and street banners, as well as stadium flags.

Vinyl comes in several options such as mesh vinyl, 13oz or 15oz ultraflex vinyl, and super smooth vinyl.  Vinyl banner may be finished with Grommets, or pole pockets.

Vinyl Cut Letters & Logos
Dye cut letters and/or logos from adhesive back vinyl.  These graphics are essentially stickers that may be applied to almost any surface.  Vinyl cut logos are great for reception counters and rental exhibits.  They may also be combined with 3-Dimensional letters for dramatic lobby and exhibits signs.  Vector Artwork is required to produce these graphics.

Vector artwork is made up of points based on mathematical equations.  Contrary to raster artwork, it can be scaled very large without compromising the image quality.  Vector artwork is commonly much smaller in file size than raster artwork.  Files with following extensions may be vector artwork .eps, .ai, .pdf.  Vector artwork can be built in Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw.

Outdoor Graphics
Outdoor Graphics come in many shapes and sizes from Tear Drop Banner to Bowhead.  Conveniently they may be used indoor or out as they come with both bases and ground stakes.  Tents or Display Shades are also available and may be printed on all sides.

The graphics are printed using Photo Flag technology, which causes the graphic to bleed through the fabric, allowing it to be seen from both sides.  Plus, their unique design and rotating pole allows them to withstand uncontrollable weather conditions, while still effectively delivering your message.
