What is Large Format Printing?
Large-format printing, also known as wide-format printing, is a printing process used to create oversized printed pieces such as signs, window decals, banners, wallpaper, vehicle wraps, billboards, and more. These items are generally larger than 18 inches and require a special machine that can print on a variety of materials, such as vinyl, canvas, aluminum, acrylic, or plastic, just to name a few.
Graphics like branded wall murals in a hospital, logos and designs on trucks you pass on the highway, decals covering storefront windows, or large banners hanging from a university’s ceilings are all created using large-format printing.
