Custom Printing in Seattle, WA

Tech campuses, lobbies and launch events

Seattle and its east-side neighbors Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland hold the headquarters and engineering campuses of some of the largest technology and online retail companies, along with the startups and agencies that grow around them. Their print orders center on events and interiors: media walls for all-hands meetings and launches, counter wraps for registration desks, floor graphics that route visitors through a campus open house, window decals for meeting-room glass and retractable banner stands for recruiting fairs at the universities. Agencies pitching to those companies add tension fabric displays for showroom days. Send the wall and desk dimensions with your artwork, and a printing specialist replies with layout advice and a proof at final size.

Summer festival weekends and convention halls

Once the dry season arrives, Seattle packs its summer with neighborhood street fairs, a multi-week boat and air festival on the lake, music festivals, farmers' markets and waterfront events, and vendors and sponsors turn up with a canopy tent, a fitted table cover, a feather flag and a vinyl banner with the menu or price list. Nonprofits running walks and fun runs order event directional signs and a finish-line banner. The downtown convention center hosts technology, gaming and trade conferences through the year, so exhibitors order tension fabric displays, retractable banner stands and step-and-repeat backdrops, and many of them take the same set down to Portland later in the season.

Rain, moss and construction cranes

Seattle's long wet season shapes every outdoor sign. Vinyl banners shed rain well but need hems, grommets and slack so wind off the Sound does not tear them; mesh is the better choice on exposed fences. Corrugated plastic signs soak at the edges over months, so aluminum signs with a UV laminate are the standard for anything that stays out through a winter, and a wipe keeps moss and grime off. A-frame signs need weighted bases on hilly sidewalks. Construction cranes are a familiar part of the skyline, and contractors in Renton, Burien and Shoreline order mesh banners for site fencing, aluminum signs for gate rules and PVC signs for safety notices.
