What would the world be without special events? Every day, in every city, there is an event of some sort happening and PROLAB Digital Imaging is there to help you with your special event signage, sporting event banners, award show backdrops, step and repeat banners, and concert banners. We are not limited by size, so we can handle the smallest to the largest event productions and conventions. One of the benefits in working with PDi is the fact we can produce most every type of signage required to host an event. There are many different type of event banners and graphics options used for during the event and PDI’s in house graphic design team can help create the look and feel needed, then produce the event banners and signage, then install the graphics on location. All done under one roof, so you do not need to run around to multiple vendors to get the job done and with nearly 20 years in the business, we are here to serve your needs.
Directional signage can be printed on our Lightjet digital photo printer or our HP5500 UV inkjet printer and then mounted to foamcore, Sintra, GatorFoam or Coroplast, on one side or both sides. Depending on how long the event is or weather conditions, we can laminate the graphics for added protection from the elements.
An overlooked opportunity to have event signage is on the traffic barricades located in the parking lot or on the sidewalks outside. Traffic barricade banners or graphics are printed using the Scitex XL Jet on to vinyl banner material or mesh that draped over the portable metal or plastic traffic barricade creating a two sided message. The other option is to print the event banners as single piece and zip tie the vinyl banner or mesh banner to the traffic barricade. You can sell the space to advertisers, move cars and people with directional signage, promote the event, or just have a neat design to liven up the environment.
PDI has printed the step and repeat backdrops for the Grammy’s, the Oscar’s, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, Directors Guild Awards, and most of the press junket backdrops for new release movies coming out. There have been four ways we have produced the event signage depending on the event producers needs. The first way is printing several 4ft x 8ft Matte Lightjet digital photo prints or HP 5500 UV inkjet prints and mounting them to ½” black GatorFoam, laminating them and adding custom made easels to allow the boards to stand on their own. The other 3 options for producing the step and repeat backdrops are all produced on our giant Scitex XL Jet grand format printer using fabric material, matte vinyl banner material or canvas material. And of course there are several different canvas materials to choose from depending on the look and feel you are trying to achieve.
