Just like any vinyl banner, mesh banners support high resolution UV printing. Outdoor mesh banners not only look excellent, but they hold up in the elements too!

Oh, I Love Polypropylene!

Posted by: SignCenter

We covered a lot of information in our last post on popular window graphics. Today we are going to discuss an option for windows that is exclusive to SignCenter. To clarify, the substrate itself is not unique to us, but what we do with it is pretty spectacular. So much so that any time someone asks our CSR Debbie about it, she gets happy and responds, “Oh, I love polypropylene!”

How Dye-Sublimated Fabric Benefits Tradeshows & Exhibits

Posted by: SignCenter

Jes here. I am the Marketing Manager at SignCenter. I wanted to share some thoughts on dye-sublimated graphics for tradeshow booths. As someone who travelled to international tradeshows in the early 2000’s and was frequently responsible for set up and breakdown of trade show booths, I cannot stress enough how jealous I am that we did not have full color dye-sublimated fabric booths then. I see how far the print technologies have come with fabric and how they have literally ...
