*Wide Format
Wide format jobs such as wall graphics, window graphics, Sintra board signage, large decals, vehicle graphics, and cut-vinyl application are more complex and need additional time for creative, processing, production, and installation. Costs for these types of projects vary drastically. While D&P is able to be responsive in these types of projects, we do require additional time and flexibility for successful results. Proper consultation between the partner, IMM, and D&P is necessary for D&P to order material, think through the creative and design, and plan and schedule print time and installation dates that are coordinated with the partners and key stakeholders involved.
