Large Retail Graphics Need Special Handling:
We recently completed the printing and fulfillment of over 9,000 graphic pieces for a major shoe company.
The graphics were printed on a variety of materials and on different output devices. There were many different sizes and quantities as well.
All of this had to be done in a very short time frame. The job was completed on time, without a hitch.
The SECRET…. we double-checked everything. The first check was to find out if there was anything that needed to be re-printed. The second check was to make sure that the corrections were done correctly. The RESULT, 100% Client satisfaction!

PRINTING MATERIAL CHOICES
What do you want to cover – Walls, Display Racks, Windows or Floors? How long do you want the graphics to be in place? Print materials can be opaque, translucent, and transparent, with or without adhesive. Materials can be made of paper, poly-vinyl, polyester, fabric, Mylar and more! Adhesives can be removable or permanent.
If the graphic is going on a window, will it be viewed from both sides or just one side? How about opaqueness that will block out the light or would you rather have a translucent graphic?
-
DURABILITY
Think of the longevity of the graphic and how it will come in contact with foot traffic, vandalism and wear and tear. Over-laminates can help protect the image and retard color fading as well.
If the graphic is outside, you will need to think about the temperature, wind and sunlight. If the graphic is in a window indoors, it will need fade protection from the sun.

HANGING HARDWARE
RETAIL GRAPHICS: Display Hardware & Banner Stands
There are many types of retail graphic holders and retail signage stands for displaying your retail graphics. A few things to consider are space, changeability, style and price.
If floor space is a concern, you may want to consider hanging your store graphics from the ceiling with plastic or aluminum extrusion snap systems.
Double-sided Window Graphics can hang easily from long plastic extrusions that snap onto the poster top and bottom. These hangers come in black, white or clear. High-end Aluminum profiles are also available for hanging retail signage.
Free Standing pole systems are lightweight and can hold single or double-sided graphics. A more solid base to hold your message is a floor standing base panel system that can hold a double-sided rigid board in place.
TYPES OF SIGN HOLDERS
- Outdoor Sign Stands
- Illuminated Back-Lit Displays
- Side-Walk Signs
- Snap-In Frames
- Magnetic Substrates
- Banner-Stands
- Ceiling Hanging Hardware
Hanging Solutions for Retail Graphics
ICL Imaging has a variety of Hanging Solutions for your Retail Graphics – just ask!
One important item to ask yourself is how will the store employees will hang the graphics. Imagine yourself high up on a ladder, leaning over and holding a large sign while trying to attach it to hooks that are too tight for the graphic.
I recently visited one large box store that we do work for and asked the clerk in that department what challenges they faced with graphic installation. I took that information to our hardware partners and we came up with a safe and easy hanging system.
