Custom Printing in Albuquerque, NM

Balloon season and fall crowds

Every October a large hot-air balloon gathering brings visitors from around the world, and the fall also brings the state fair and harvest events. Vendors and sponsors order canopy tents, feather flags, table covers and vinyl banners, and hotels and restaurants order window decals and A-frame signs to welcome visitors. Early mornings are cold and afternoons can be windy, so plan on weight bags for tents and flags. Send your booth size and dates, and a printing specialist suggests a setup.

Film sets, labs and contractors

Albuquerque has a busy film and television production scene and large research labs and defense contractors nearby. Production companies order event directional signs, foam board signs and step-and-repeat backdrops for screenings and crew events, while contractors and research groups order retractable banner stands, table covers and conference posters for recruiting fairs and technical meetings. Many of these teams also attend events in Santa Fe.

High-desert sun and dry wind

Albuquerque sits at high elevation with strong sun and spring winds, which fade and strain outdoor print. Businesses along Central Avenue and in new retail centers choose aluminum or PVC for rigid signs, ask for UV-resistant inks with a laminate on banners and use mesh on fences. Real estate agents and builders on the West Side order yard signs and open-house directional signs. Check the City's sign rules before placing temporary signs.
