  What Our Clients Are Saying
"Discovering your services has been a lifesaver! Not only is your print quality outstanding, but your perfect balance of informing without overwhelming throughout the order process is stellar! Even though every billboard posting company has its own corporate printer, I think they secretly like working with you better. Every “i” is dotted and every “t” crossed. You, Chris, are a pleasure!"

Billboard Printing

  Expand All | Contract All
Billboard Printing and the printing of other substrates on a large scale is often referred to as Large Format Digital Printing.

A vinyl flex is what the actual advertisements design is printed on. Once produced, the billboard vinyl flex is then shipped to the outdoor advertising company, where the installation crew unfolds, and stretches the vinyl graphic over the billboard face or framing system. The vinyl is typically held in place by numerous ratchets that allow the installers to ensure the graphic is secure, and to display the finished, crisp wrinkle free design. Since, the flex is stretched over the sign; it also allows the advertiser to move this image to various locations of the same dimensions, thus increasing their market reach.

Applications for billboard vinyl flexes are endless. In regards to the life of the vinyl, most advertisers tend to update or change their message well before the vinyl starts to show its age. It is not out of the ordinary to see vinyls that have been posted for 3 years to still look as clean and crisp as the day they were installed. The life of the vinyl can also be enhanced by an additional year by having a UV clear coat added. Naturally, this will increase the cost of production.

Some of the more common sizes for the billboard displays are as follows:

20' x 60'
14' x 48'
12' x 48'
12' x 50'
12'3" x 24'6"
12' x 25'
10'5" x 22'8"
10'6" x 36'
10' x 40'
6' x 12'

While these are the common sizes, essentially any size billboard vinyl can be produced.

  

Rigid PVC TriVision Billboard Printing

- For quick post tri-vision units!
- Re-usable for future postings!
- Printed directly on to the rigid substrate!
- Expedited install times, when compared to installing PSV!

Typical Sizes:
- 14'x48'
- 10'6"x36'

Rigid PVC is the latest innovation in trivisions. It allows the graphic to be printed directly onto a rigid material that is then cut into individual slats that slide directly into the advertising unit, drastically reducing installation costs and time. Each slat is individually labeled, so the installer knows just where to install the graphic on the sign. Another upside to rigid PVC trivisions, would be that they allow for the graphic to be stored and reused at a later date without having to purchase the costly aluminum slats that pressure sensitive vinyl (PSV) trivisions often implement

Mobile billboards can produced in a variety of options, if you know the specs you are looking to have produced, this is generally the best option as each truck and application can vary by operator.

Mobile billboard vinyls are often produced with reinforced hems with grommets, and or pockets for ease of installation onto the mobile unit. Please contact us so we can go over the details of your graphic application.
