LARGE FORMAT PRINTING

Large Format Printing for Commercial & Event Graphics

High-resolution banners, wall graphics, window graphics, vehicle graphics, and display materials produced at the scale your environment or event requires.

What is large format printing?

Large format printing produces oversized graphics on vinyl, fabric, adhesive films, rigid boards, and other display materials. Powell’s prepares artwork, selects the appropriate substrate and finish, produces the graphics, and coordinates installation or delivery for banners, walls, windows, vehicles, events, and commercial environments.

Key Takeaways

  • Select material based on indoor or outdoor exposure, viewing distance, surface, and required lifespan.
  • Build artwork at the correct scale and resolution before production to protect image quality.
  • Plan seams, edges, hardware, and installation access as part of the graphic design.
  • Use proofs and color references when brand-color consistency is important.

How do you choose the right large format material?

The right material depends on where the graphic will be used, how long it must last, how it will be viewed, and how it attaches to the surface. Powell’s considers exposure, texture, removability, flame or building requirements, finishing, transport, and installation before recommending a production method.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Large Format Printing FAQ

Vector artwork is preferred for logos and type, while photographs should be supplied at sufficient resolution for the final size and viewing distance. Powell’s reviews the files before production and identifies missing fonts, linked images, bleed, scale, or resolution concerns.

Powell’s can work from brand standards, color references, and approved samples. Printed color can vary by ink, material, finish, lighting, and production method, so a physical proof or agreed reference is recommended when exact brand appearance is critical.

Yes. Installation can be included when the project requires it. Powell’s reviews surface condition, access, temperature, site rules, vehicle availability, lift needs, and scheduling before confirming the installation approach.

Yes. Short-term events, promotions, construction environments, and seasonal campaigns can use removable or temporary materials. The surface and duration still matter, so Powell’s recommends the product and removal plan after reviewing the application.
