Mesh Banner material is a compact lattice of fibers, secured with a printable coating.  This material was designed to allow air to move through the banner, rather than having to force it’s way around it (which can damage and stress the hems and grommets).  This material is most useful on fences, or in areas where high winds are expected.  Because of it’s structure, Mesh Banners are lightweight and partially see-through, allowing them to shade, but not obstruct direct or reflected light.  This is all done without sacrificing longevity and durability.  Mesh banners will resist the fading effects of the UV rays from the sun, and keep your message loud and proud for years.

Banner Stands

Banner Stands are a quick and easy way to deploy your messaging on location.  They are free standing, requiring only a modest footprint of floor space, and collapse down to an easy to carry weighted stand that protects the print during transport.  Banner stands are simple to use, take up very little space and give you a command of your space at events.  Your design is printed onto vinyl banner material in high resolution and then installed into the banner stand.  It will be ready to deploy when and where you need it, and stores easily when you don’t.  Banner stands are useful for informative purposes, where you can put a lot of text and graphics, or just to display your logo and company colors and add flair to your booth or table.

Binding and Finishing

There are many ways to assemble and distribute your presentations; from stapled packets to perfect bound (soft cover) books, we have a variety of binding options to keep your printed materials looking sharp and professional.  Your final product is a reflection of you and we have a lot of options to fit your budget and ambition.

 

Staples are a low cost way to keep your materials presentable and together.  A collated, stapled packet tells your audience that you have the foresight to keep your materials in order and together and it keeps your media from becoming scattered.

 

Saddle Stitched Booklets are a great option for 8-56 page presentations or catalogs. We print your document onto large paper, then fold and staple along the spine of the booklet. The finished product is trimmed down to the finished size, finishing to a clean and compact look that has the feel of a book while staying inexpensive.

 

Comb binding or GBC plastic is a common binding method that will allow you to expand or replace pages as changes to your presentation are made.  They open to lay flat on flat surfaces and can accommodate up to 400 double sided sheets (800 pages).

 

Coil binding is a plastic spiral coil which is spun through a series of holes along the binding edge.  After it is bound, the ends are crimped to secure the content in place.  The largest coils can hold nearly a ream of paper (up to 460 double sided sheets), making it a suitable choice for large presentations or books.  The binding will open and lay flat on surfaces.

 

Wire-O binding is a thin, bent wire that crimps through holes drilled in the sheets, holding them together in a lightweight, professional bind.  While wire-o binding is more prone to damage, some customers like the clean, minimal structure and the ease that the pages turn.

 

Perfect binding is a form of binding that most people have held at one point or another, but that few know by name.  Paperback books, catalogs and graphic novels are typically perfect bound.  The inner pages of the book have a layer of glue applied to the spine, and then a cardstock cover is pressed into place. The book is then cut down to the finished size.  With a squared off spine and perfect, 90 degree corners the term perfect is very appropriate.  Perfect binding gives your work the highest level of professionalism.

 

Books

Books are often Perfect Bound; a form of binding that most people have held at one point or another, but that few know by name.  Paperback books, catalogs and graphic novels are typically perfect bound.  The inner pages of the book have a layer of glue applied to the spine, and then a cardstock cover is pressed into place. The book is then cut down to the finished size.  With a squared off spine and perfect, 90 degree corners the term perfect is very appropriate.  Perfect binding gives your work the highest level of professionalism.

Hardcover or coffee table books are available. Please call to discuss your specific requirements.

Brochures

One of the most common promotional and informational items is the brochure.  Brochures can range in size and number of panels, color and black and white onto a range of stocks.  Brochures break up the space on a sheet into manageable panels, allowing you to parse out your content into bite sized pieces for an orderly presentation.  This allows you to communicate your message to your customers one panel at a time, leading them from point to point in an orderly fashion without overwhelming them with all of the information at once.  Colorful graphics logos, maps and creative quotes can all weave together in the space of a single folded sheet to make your message resonate with your customers. 

Business cards 

Business cards are one printed piece everyone and every business needs. We design and print business cards that reflect your (or your company's) image in a consistently professional manner. Give your clients a great first impression with custom designed high quality business cards.

From black ink on white cardstock to full color, foil stamping or thermography (raised print), contact us or visit our Colorado Springs office and we will print you a great piece for that important first impression.

Calendars

Calendars are a fantastic way to put your brand in front of your customers and keep their eyes looking back at it for a whole year.  They are also a way to share cherished memories, inspiration, humor and information to your audience.  Assemble your pictures, choose your own holidays and we can design and print a year’s worth of content custom tailored to your vision and image.  Calendars are great for promotion, advertisement and to share personal memories with friends, customers and families.

We also have a variety of popular themed calendars with beautiful stock photography, ready for your branding.  This options is not only economical, but it bypasses the design process (and cost), ultimately delivering a quality product into your hands without any hassle.  Some of our pre-designed options are Reflections, Landscapes of America and American Scenic.

Canvas Prints

Canvas prints add a natural texture to any environment they are put in.  We print onto actual canvas, and can staple the print into a wooden frame, suitable to be hung on the wall or displayed in an easel.  You can even place the frame into your own decorative frame to give it a distinct look.  Because they are printed with latex inks, the colors will stay rich and vibrant for years of indoor use.  The printing process itself allows for crisp, high resolution graphics to go directly onto the canvas, without being distorted by the canvas fibers.

Catalogs

Sales often comes down to the right customer seeing something they need. Catalogs are a great way to net those customers with pages of products that you offer.  Binding options will vary by your page count, but a professionally made catalog of your products and services will help reach customers with things they may not even have known they wanted.  Assembled with colorful graphics and a catchy layout, our designers can help assemble knockout designs that will bring life into your sales and provide the necessary details to your clients. 

Diecut Vinyl

Standard adhesive or air release vinyl can be cut along mathematically precise lines and curves.  This process is called contour cutting, and it is done with an impressive level of geometric sophistication.  A sheet of vinyl is printed and then cut by a machine into letters or shapes.  This vinyl can then be applied to a surface (such as a window, car or counter) as a design element or as text.  You’ve likely seen die cut vinyl on the doors of most stores, where it shows the hours of operation, or has the name of the store on letters that seem to float on the surface of the glass.  

Die Cut vinyl is fade resistant and printed with latex inks.  It will stand up to just about any weather condition and will continue to look fantastic for years.  It’s not hard to remove when the time comes, and it won’t stain or leave residue behind.  Combined with printing onto the vinyl before cutting, die cut vinyl can make letters and shapes of any color or shape and spruce up any flat surface of your choosing.

Some level of preparation is required for successful application - call us for more details.

Door Hangers

Door hangers have a variety of uses.  Missed delivery, do not disturb, parking permits… whenever you need to leave a message on something like a door or the handle or a machine, door hangers will do the trick.  Made from a thicker stock of paper (or even polystyrene sheet), the door hanger has an opening and a small access channel cut into the material.  This allows you to put it onto a bar or doorknob with slight pressure, and will keep it in place.  Door hangers can come in a variety of colors, be printed with a lot of options and are inexpensive enough to deploy on a large scale.

Our design staff can work with your designs, or create a customized layout that fits your aesthetic and content.  At any level, we can help your menu come into reality.

NCR / Carbonless Forms

NCR (No Carbon Required) forms are a great invention for on site workers who want a solution for forms.  Printed onto multiple sheets (parts), they transfer the writing from one page onto the next, which allows forms to be created in duplicate, or triplicate out in the field without having to re-write the information.  Before the invention of NCR, receipts and contracts would have to be filled out multiple times or would require the inconvenient carbon paper.

NCR forms have given on-site paperwork a shot in the arm simplifying complex documentation and allowing workers to leave an exact copy of receipts, quotes, estimates and copies of forms with customers while retaining a copy for their own records.  Stay on the same page with your customers and make sure that you have the same details, calculations, signatures and numbers that they do.

Notepads

Notepads are an effective way to get your brand out to your audience in a format that they are likely to keep and use.  Just like calendars, notepads are one of the few branded products that your audience is likely to keep and use for a long period of time.  This puts your logo and contact information in their line of sight for much longer than many other forms of advertisement and promotion.  Notepads are something that your audience is likely to want and be happy to take.

We can make notepads in just about any size or thickness with any stock you might want.  Print in black or in color, the possibilities are vast.
