DRS Creates a Custom Wall Wrap for Made in America Concert in Philadelphia

We couldn’t let Vodka Day pass without highlighting one of our coolest custom wall wrap projects to date with Ciroc

This year over Labor Day weekend, we helped with the signage and decorations for the VIP lounge for the Made in America concert in Philadelphia.  The lounge was a self-standing 20×16 ft structure that was separate from all of the stages.

It was a last minute call that they needed a vendor who could print, laminate, and install a full color wrap to cover both the outside, and the inside of the VIP building.  The outside wrap was a special design, full bleed print with a graphic designer lettering supporting the sponsor Cîroc Vodka. The inside had wall size photo murals covering two walls, and more graphic design murals covering the other two walls.  The printing job rolls of material measuring 54 inches by 180 feet totaling about 450 feet.

They choose DRS in Doylestown as the vendor that they felt they could rely upon to get the job completed in the short time frame they were given.  They essentially received final approval for the job on Monday August 27th. There was no time for do-overs. The job had to be done right the first time.custom wall wraps

Monday August 27th 
They planned the job and ordered the materials they would need to complete the project including the banner material, any additional printing ink and application hardware

Tuesday August 28th 
They set up the job in the shop and cleared their project schedule to accommodate the rush order

Wednesday August 29th 
They pri
nted the job, monitoring the output of the printer to insure that the project was proceeding as planned

Thursday August 30th 
The 450 foot printed roll was laminated for extra protection since the building wrap would be exposed to the elements.  It was cut into panels for installation at the concert site.

Friday August 31 
They completed the trimming of the panels as needed for the install.  They completed all of the installs in the rain and in time for the concert.

In addition to the banner, DRS also completed a step and repeat backdrop for photo sessions that was located outside at the rear of the VIP structure. The photo backdrop had to be supported to withstand high winds and poor weather conditions that were in the area. They were also asked to provide mirrored window tint for the VIP entrance doors that allowed people inside to view out but did not permit people outside to be able to peer into the VIP lounge.  

This was a clear example of DRS’s ability to handle a large last minute job requiring a lot of planning and flawless execution to meet the very tight production time frames that this project demanded.  As a result of their professional handling of the project, they won the accolades of the project managers and the designers who were responsible for the VIP lounge at the event.

Mastering Large Format Scanning with the Cruse

Large Format ScanningThere is a brand new Cruse Scanner at DRS in Doylestown Pa that is a high-resolution scanner designed fro large format scanning.  In fact, Cruse Scanners are thought by many experts to be one of the best scanners available.  In fact, the new Cruse Scanner goes a few steps beyond high resolution because the new lighting system on the Cruse Scanner is capable of shifting itself to produce very different effects regarding the level of detail that is captured.

For example, while an old painting may have some wrinkles on the canvas surface, the new Cruse Scanner can capture multiple images under varying lighting situations that can give customers choices regarding which scan versions they prefer.  The Cruse Scanner can automatically take several scans while varying the lighting, resulting in scans that both include the wrinkled canvas or show versions whereby the wrinkles disappear.   That is just one of the reasons Cruse Scanners are sought after because they are excellent for all types of scans.

Capturing minute detail of flat and three dimensional objects is routine for the Cruse Scanner at DRS in Doylestown

Foam Core Poster

Utilizing Foam Core Posters

foam core postersFor a really great look for your next poster, why not have it printed on foam core.  Most posters are hung on walls and not wrapped around telephone poles.  So why are you still ordering posters on the dull poster board, when foam core can give your poster more zip, plus it comes in a variety of thicknesses that can make your poster even more special and memorable.

Foam core is a ridged material, so some printers who only have roll fed printers would have to turn to screen printing to make a foam core poster.  Screen printing is fine when dealing with just a few colors, but for full color photos and such, requires a color printer.  So when you want to be innovative trust DRS in Doylestown.  They are your foam core printing specialist, and they have a variety of printers that include both roll fed and flatbed printers.  The flat bed printer is a marvel, because it can print directly on just about any flat surface like foam core. 

Want to really get creative?  The flatbed printer can print directly onto wood, Plexiglas, acrylic, glass, cork, metal and more.  So that means you can have posters printed on just about any flat material you can think of.   Imagine the impact you can have by giving out special posters to your clients or guests that were custom printed on wood, metal, Plexiglas, or plastic.  That poster would really stand out and be a keepsake for a long time.

Foam core posters………. what a great way to generate impact for your next event.

Engineering and Architect Presentation Board Specialist

CET-in-motion

At DRS in Doylestown Pa, we have lots of experience preparing presentation boards for Architects and Engineers.  Our recommendation for presentation boars is to use foam core boards.  They are ridged and come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses.  The cost for foam core boards is in line with other similar products.

We also recommend direct printing onto the foam core boards.  Some printers may have to print on a sheet of paper first and then glue it onto the foam core board.  That process, unfortunately, can result in some wrinkles if the gluing process is not exact.  Our direct print process eliminates the possibility of wrinkles because we have the ability to print on the foam core surface itself.  We think our direct print process results in a better overall look. 

For presentation boards, we think that foam core boards are the way to go, in conjunction with direct printing on the foam core board surface.  That is the quality look that will make your presentation boards stand out.
