Exhibit Graphics & Large-Format Printing in Tampa
Graphics are what the attendee actually sees. Color accuracy, substrate choice, finishing quality, and install-day readiness separate exhibit graphics that look intentional from graphics that look like a rush job.
Our Specialties
In-house production vs. third-party print
Booth graphics can be produced by a separate print vendor or in-house alongside the build. The quality difference is real. In-house production means graphics are printed against the exact dimensions of the fabricated panels, dry-fitted before they ship, and reprinted same-day if anything is off.
Our print room is calibrated weekly and re-calibrated before any hero-panel run.
Substrate choice per panel
Different panels want different substrates. A 20-foot backwall in soft fabric reads as clean and packs flat. A rigid Sintra or aluminum composite is better for counters and demo walls. Backlit fabric for illuminated hero walls. Dye-sub on aluminum or polycarbonate for modular graphics that need to survive multiple install cycles.
We specify substrate per panel based on actual use case.
Color accuracy is a process
Brand color accuracy is the most common graphics complaint. The reason is usually that the print room wasn't calibrated to the brand's specific targets, or that the proof was approved under different lighting than the final output.
We calibrate to the client's brand palette at project kickoff: actual Pantone references, printed proofs under booth-lighting conditions.
Timing and the production schedule
Graphics timing is typically the most-compressed phase of booth production. Final artwork often doesn't land until 4 to 6 weeks before the show, and graphics production is usually 2 to 4 weeks.
We build graphics timing into the schedule from kickoff, with a soft deadline 3 weeks before print lock and a hard deadline 2 weeks before.
Handling last-minute changes
Graphics changes happen. A product name that finalized too late, a sponsor logo update, a typo in a late proof. In-house production means most changes are same-day fixes.
For changes during install week, we can print and deliver same-day to TCC for panels under 10 feet wide.
Graphics for multi-show calendars
A booth that travels Tampa > Tampa > Tampa > Tampa should not require a full graphics reprint for each city. We design modular graphics: hero panels consistent across shows, secondary panels that swap to show-specific messaging.
Storage and refurbishment between shows keeps graphics clean.
