Get More Attention with Reflective Banners

So, it’s 9:00 pm and your banner quitely hangs in front of your business screaming your message without a voice……because it is dark outside.  Why shouldn’t that banner relay your message 24 hours a day?  You paid for it, carefully placed it where it could be seen by passersby, and depend on it to get your message out.  PROBLEM SOLVED!  How about a banner printed on REFLECTIVE vinyl! 


Reflective Banner material combines micro prismatic lens and flexible vinyl fabric (Quality Standard GB/T8948-1994) or PVC with a special fusion technique. It consists of a physical protective layer, a UV protective layer, and a reflective layer.  The reflective layer is made of diffractive, high transparency material fused into a highly retro-reflective, durable, and flexible substrate.  It may be used in outdoor advertising applications where light is minimal.  Say, at night!  This material is inkjet printable. So you may choose a full color reflective design.  Some major applications are pole banners, highway pillar structure banners, banners, barricades, billboards and other similar outdoor advertisements.  Even small amounts of ambiant light will make your banner or sign “pop” with light, revealing your message.  This material is especially reflective when spotted with car headlights.

FAQ’s

How long does the process take?
The part of the process that we like spending the majority of the time is the development of the concept that will go on the vehicle. The length of this depends directly on how much direction you already have for the graphics. After the graphic stage is finalized and we enter production it takes between 10 to 14 days to have the wrap fully installed.

Can the wrap be removed later?
Absolutely. The wrap is actually stacked to the vehicle using heat and pressure-sensitive adhesives that can be reactivated by our installers. The removal process is very short.

How long will the wrap stay on my vehicle?
Normally, a wrap can stay between 4 to 6 years on the vehicle depending on the treatment that is given to it.

Can I pressure wash my vehicle after the vinyl is installed?
We highly recommend NOT to pressure wash the vehicle after installation of the vinyl. Some pressure washers can potentially lift up the vinyl because of improper use of the water pressure. The wrap is an investment to your marketing and advertising strategy and thus it should be protected.

Do I have to wash my vehicle before installation?
Yes. All vehicles have to be free of dust, mud, pollen, and other agents that may slow down the installation process.

How long do you need my vehicle for installation?
Installation normally takes between one and three days depending on how much coverage has to be applied.

Can you come up with the graphics?
Absolutely! That is in fact our strength. Our customers communicate to us what they want in the wrap. Then they supply us with their logos, photos, and other supporting images, and we then create the graphics in a format that best fits the vehicle.

Will it damage my paint?
No. The material used actually protects your paint-job from minor scratches

How much does it cost?
Every project has its own set of variables.  Pricing is directly linked with coverage and types of vinyl used.

Just the Right Logo

 

Graphic Design can mean different things to many people.  A strong identity design – logo and supporting materials – can be the edge to help your business realize its full potential. When you team a strong identity with an advertising campaign you are sure to boost awareness of your company and create additional recognition to drive customers to your business. Quality graphic design is the hidden reason for the success of many companies. Sub-quality design can be the downfall of companies that do not take advantage of the experience and expertise of a graphic designer.

The Logo design process should begin with a client consultation to define business the need and the business points to stress.  Then, through the design experience, the ideas generated should be taken to design reality. The type of design proposed depends on the type of business to be identified and promoted.

The Logo should summerize the business in an iconical fashion.  During the design process, the Graphic Designer, uses some very simple rules that keep a logo design effective and working for many years. 

1)  A logo should be unique and as simple in design as possible. A business becomes known by its logo.  It should be simple enough to be recognizable from a distance - and rememberable. Even a toddler can recognize the McDonald’s logo from a mile away!  Strong lines and letters work well.  Simple and simplistic should not be confused.  The best logos have something unexpected like the subliminal arrow in the FedEx logo. 

2. A logo must translate well to one color printing. Think of some the great logos….Nike, McDonald’s, Adidas, Honda….they all translate well to one color so printing and producing “vectored” versions for signs, promotional items, and embroidery is simplified.

4. A logo must be scalable.   It should be aesthetically pleasing in both small and large sizes, in a variety of mediums. This is one of the most important aspects to remember.  A good rule of thumb is the “business card/billboard rule”: Your logo should look good on both.

A Graphic Designer with experience will immediately work from the 4 rules above.  These are a minimum.
