Question 3

What is the difference in the material options for Step and Repeats?

Accepted Answer

Step and Repeats, also known as Media Backdrops or photo backdrops, come in a variety of sizes and finishes. We offer several different materials. Our 13 oz Economy Srim banner is the most economic and is beneficial for short term events. This material does have a memory and can hold wrinkles, so it is best to keep these rolled. This then scales up to 15oz and 18oz banner. These are much more durable options. These more robust options, are better for larger graphics, and for stages that have a lot of lighting. These options have built in liners to make them opaque. The 18 oz is the most durable, and is especially good for outdoor use. Our stretch Fabric is the most premium option. Due to wrinkle release properties, it can be shipped in more consolidated boxes. The fabric options also can be machine washed.

Question 4

How long will floor graphics stay adhered?

Accepted Answer

We have several different grades of vinyl that can be used for floor graphics. These different grades have different lifespans. Our economy vinyl is great for short term floor graphics. Great for short term events (both indoor and outdoor) ranging from a couple hours to 5 days.  We have a mid tier vinyl that increases the durability of these graphics. For outdoor use these graphics can last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. For indoor, these graphics can last anywhere from 2-3 years. Our premium outdoor vinyl can be utilized for upwards of 1 year.

Question 5

What are stud mounts?

Accepted Answer

Stud mounts are utilized for signage or dimensional letters. These are threaded metal pieces that range in length from 3/4" to several inches long. The back of the sign or letter is drilled and tapped to receive threaded studs. Studs are pressed into pre drilled wall holes and secured with adhesive and/or anchors. Studs can be utilized for blind stud mounts, or can be hung a little off the wall. Blind stud mounts allow you to hang heavier signage and secure it directly to the wall.

Question 6

How large can I make a spot graphic?

Accepted Answer

The term spot graphics are utilized for graphics that are intended for a door, car-door, window, rear bumper, etc. These graphics are usually no bigger than 24"x24". With that being said, we are able to make larger graphics, and this would be considered under partial wraps, wall murals, window graphics, or wraps. If you are needing something bigger, reach out to our customer service representatives. They will be able to assist you.

Question 7

Will car decals damage my paint?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Are car decals car wash-safe?

Accepted Answer

Any vehicle graphics and wraps  that are adhered to the car are car wash friendly. Car wraps, car door decals, car lettering, and rear window graphics will not be impacted by a car wash. These car stickers are printed with solvent inks that are embedded into the material making them UV proof and weather resistant. These graphics are weather proof and should not be impacted by a car wash.
