Custom Printing in Milwaukee, WI

Lakefront festival summers

Milwaukee packs its short summer with lakefront music and ethnic festivals, neighborhood street fairs and outdoor markets. Vendors and sponsors order canopy tents with printed tops, table covers, feather flags and vinyl banners for booths, and organizers order event directional signs and step-and-repeat backdrops. Lake wind is common, so plan on weight bags for tents and mesh for fence banners. Send the booth size and the festival's rules and a printing specialist suggests a setup.

Manufacturing and industry shows

Milwaukee and the surrounding area are home to many manufacturers of machinery, motors, controls and equipment, and they exhibit at industrial trade shows here and in Chicago. They order tension fabric back walls, retractable banner stands, counter wraps and table covers, plus floor graphics for demo areas. Plant open houses and recruiting events use vinyl banners and directional signs. A kit built to travel between shows saves reorders.

Breweries, taverns and winter signs

Breweries, taverns, supper clubs and restaurants are part of Milwaukee's identity. They order window decals, A-frame signs, vinyl banners for patios and canopy tents for beer gardens and events. Winters are long and cold, so signs that stay outside should use heavier materials with reinforced hems, and sidewalk signs should come in during snow clearing.
