Boat Wraps


Custom your boat with a signature graphic or look with us! Speedpro Imaging has your 411 on boat wraps.

When it comes to boat wraps, it is important to use the right vinyl for warranty and graphic needs. With the use of special Marine vinyl, this vinyl is able to handle reduce the graphics color fading and handle salt air. Using regular vehicle wrap vinyl is still alright to use, but it won't have an everlasting affect as Marine vinyl does.

Also remember just like in car vinyl maintenance to hand wash the vinyl and use low pressure water.

Color Outside The Lines

Instead of following for the same old advertising or marketing method, try of something new that will leave an 'aha' moment to your customers.

The image above is an advertising for Folgers. The graphic is actually covering a manhole in New York. The steam coming through the manhole makes the cup of coffee graphic look like it's steaming and hot.
The image above is from Indivi Clothes in Tokyo, Japan. Indivi Clothes mounted panels of mirrors on a wall in the mall. They, then, stuck images of their clothing on them. This way women could try on their clothes without having to go into the store.
The following image is an advertisement for deordorant. The images are actually stuck on sliding window doors. When the door close, the image looks like there is a bunch of shoppers walking out. As the door opens, the group of people separate.
The last and final image is for a job recruiting office. They had used the sides of ATMs and vending machines for advertisement.

Window Graphics


In today's economy, many retail spaces and building spaces line the streets vacant. Because of this, marketing and advertising agencies have found a new promotion method-window graphics.

With brand sponsorships, landlords and real estate agents are now able to turn their vacant building into a profit generating advertisement. It's a win-win for real estate and advertising. It is also a win for the community because it takes these vacant spaces that are depressing, and gives them some energy and vibrancy.

Window graphics appeals to customers for a number reasons:

1. The graphics are unexpected. Many people when walking by a retail store expect the traditional blank retail storefront. However with window graphics, they now see a large advertisement.
2. The advertisements are at ground level. Thus making them more noticeable than a billboard.
3. They're unique. Window graphics are able to conform to the buildings.


When thinking of a unique, in-your-face advertisement, try window graphics. Whether its to promote an event, brand or store, window graphics will catch ANYONE's eye!

Party Favors

Have a girls night out in a few days? Planning a friend's baby shower? Can't find the right party favor? We are here to help.

Though large format deals with large scale printing, we can still help you create great party favors.
Here are some ideas:


1. Mounted Picture Blow ups!
This is the most inexpensive party favor. You can also jazz up these mounted pictures up with dollar store picture frames so your friends and family can have a memory and keepsake of the event.
2. Wrapping an object
Whether is a small toy car or a flower pot, getting stickers made of your special event and then sticking them onto something helps you get unique and custom party favors.
3. Magnets
This option is a more popular approach. More and more couples are doing magnets because they're small and more functional.

For more ideas on party flavors or what material to use, visit our website, www.speedprometroatlanta.com and contact us. We'd love to help you on your you next party.

Letter from Hue


Woof!

Hi everyone!

I'm back from my adventure with Stephanie. Woof! It was wooferful! But I wasn't able to update as much as I wanted because of the Hurricane Bill. Woof. Though it didn't hit Virginia Beach, our hotel ended up having WIFI problems. Woof! It sure was scary! Woof! WOOF!

But don't worry I still had fun. When it was sunny, we went to the Virginia Aquarium on General Booth Blvd and the Lynnhave Mall. I saw alot of cool stuff while I was there, especially large format prints!

The picture above was taken at the Lynnhaven Mall near their food court. This is just a section of the wall graphic. However the image was as along as the wall. Because I was helping babysit Stephanie's son (RUFF!), I wasn't able to get a great picture of it. GRRR! But there are alots more of fun large format images coming your way!

-- Hue




Virginia Aquarium

On our journey through the Virginia Aquarium, Hue and I got to see a lots of cool animals.

One of Hue's favorite place was where the sea turtles were, especially the sea turtle in the picture on the left. This particular sea turtle enjoyed swimming behind anyone taking a picture. Hue LOVED interacting with it!







Here is one of murals created for a future exhibit at the aquarium. Though the signs didn't state who the future exhibit was for, it was really cool seeing how everything gets built prior to the animals living in it.

The wall mural is an image of a pier. You can see a sea gull and ship in the background. This one looked painted. However a vinyl background would have given more sharper lines and clarity.





Here are some backlit film at work. These backlit display talked about the ocean and marine science.

Backlit film is a clear material that can be printed on. This material can be later mounted on a surface. Backlit film is specially created to bring out the colors if light shined behind it.







Here are some samples of banner material. These were hung up in the front of the aquarium entrance.

They used Economy banner material for these. Though the banners look very much like Premium from far away, it's not until up close can you see the scrim texture.







You can tell in this picture that the banner was heat seamed from the indent on top near the dark shading.












Here you can also see the heat seamed in the middle of the banner.

PLEASE NOTE: From far a way or even a few feet, the heat seamed and/or the Economy material isn't noticeable until up close. That is why for trade shows, Premium material should be suggested for it's smooth texture.

Trash into Class


Like a blank wall, cuts of vinyl can help create a new sense of feel and look. With our creative thinking, Speedpro Imaging was able to turn an old table top into an unique table stand.

With our specialize premium vinyl, our graphic designers can take any image and mount it on any surface. For a 2 x 2 table top, the cost total comes to $24.00, including print and mount time. This price is also for retail. For wholesale, the price would be about $5+ cheaper.

Instead of throwing old furniture, why not revamp it to suit your needs? Whether it is a table top, laptop, or toy car, Speedpro Imaging can help you create the perfect gift or the perfect look.
