When the operators of the Chick-fil-A Socal Region HQ offices contacted their graphic designer, they asked for
a set of prints that would tell the company’s story. The expert immediately put together the drafts and headed to a sign business to have them printed. To say that she was disappointed in the product would be an understatement. The print quality was iffy, and the colors did not look right. This was when we got the call.
Graphic Wall Panels Mounted on Standoffs
We consulted with the designer, received the specs, and got to work. Because she was concerned that we might not be able to get the print quality right, either, we did some sample prints for her as well as the team at Chick-fil-A. They were delighted with what they saw.
Next, we did four prints on quarter-inch-thick acrylic with polished edges. Because we invested in high-quality print equipment, the graphics came out looking crisp and detailed. The colors pop in all the right places. We mounted the product with brushed
aluminum wall standoffs in the entrance hallway of the office. There, the panels inform, educate, and tell the story of success.
Working with Clients and Their Representatives
It is a common misconception that all the projects we do come directly from members of the local business community. Sometimes, we also work with their representatives. Case in point is the graphic designer who puts together an image collage and then needs assistance to print it for a sign setup.
We also work with advertising agencies that draft campaigns for their clients. We assist with translating these specs into a variety of banners, prints, graphics, and other signs. When dealing with franchise owners, we often work with the business office that forwards us the color details. The trademarks and copyrighted information call for perfect colors matches, which we can provide.
That said, we also work with plenty of business owners. Many ask us to help with the design of their signage. Because we have a graphic artist on staff, this is not a problem. We gladly design a sign from the ground up, handle the specs we receive from an outside agency, or work with proofs someone else put together already.
What Differentiates Good-Quality Sign Shops from the Competition?
Three elements separate the experts from the rest.
- Superior print equipment. Look for late-model equipment. It makes a huge difference in the print quality. This quality affects everything from window graphics or wall prints to polycarbonate sign facings. When you want exact colors that do not look washed out, the equipment matters.
- Licenses. Work with someone who does not have to outsource any electrical work. Outsourcing results in delays, problems with subcontractors, and frustration. By keeping everything in-house, you deal with the same company you signed the contract with.
- Installation equipment. Not everyone has a truck with a boom lift. But good-quality sign shops do. By having the equipment in the garage, your installation gets scheduled when it is convenient for you, not when the company can find a rental vehicle.
