What is Environmental Graphics?
Environmental Graphic Design is the process of designing a space to be aesthetically pleasing and functional. It is an important part of branding, as it creates a visual identity for the company. Environmental Graphics can also be used to create a more productive environment by providing visual cues that help people find their way around, way-finding, and also reinforce the mission statement, goals and values of the business to both employees and visitors.
We work with Environmental Graphic Design Agencies and Corporate Clients to print, fabricate and install Environmental Graphics.

Popular Environmental Graphics for Offices
The most popular environmental graphics for offices are privacy film, custom wallpaper and dimensional logo signs.
Privacy Film
For a very unique privacy film, we can print opaque white on clear film so you can change the opacity of the film in any pattern, shape or size you want. This is a very popular technique because you can match the design to the rest of the office space.
Wallpaper & Wall Graphics
Custom printed wallpaper can be a very cost effective option to bring unique look to your office. It can be a subtle pattern or a bold graphic statement. If you want more variety it could be cut vinyl letting or custom printed vinyl.
Dimensional Letters & Logo Signs
Dimensional logo signs are very popular in office buildings in the reception and lobby areas. These logo signs can be made to be quite subtle with a matching color to the background or float away from the wall and be back or front lit with colored lighting. We have no standard pricing on these as they are all unique.

Environmental Graphics in Education
School pride is a feeling of belonging, accomplishment, and excitement for what one's school has done. It is a feeling that is not just exclusive to the student body but also the faculty and staff as well. It can be seen in many ways such as school colors, murals, school mascot or even through awards for school sports teams.
Custom printed windscreens are a very popular way to spread school pride even before students, faculty and parents even step food in the school. Placed outside on existing cyclone fences, they are a cost-effective way to get your school noticed.
Education Examples
- Perforated Windscreens
- Marketing Centers
- Athletic Field Banners
- School Pride Murals

Environmental Graphics in Retail & Commercial Real Estate
Retail spaces such as lobbies, malls shops and stores can also take advantage of environmental graphics. Window graphics, either temporary, seasonal or long term, can bring big bold messages to an area without taking up any floor space.
Printing or wrapping temporary walls in lobbies, malls and even outside on the sidewalk are a good way to promote a brand or a grand opening. They could be used to display new amenities being added to a building or the announcement of a new store. Outdoor barricades and temporary walls can be covered with a full graphic wrap that can also be laminated with anti-graffiti film to make it resistant to markers and spray cans and also much easier to clean up.
Commercial Real Estate benefits from environment graphics by offering lots of elements for marketing centers to help describe the amenities of the space, building and nearby facilities.
Retail & CRE Examples

- Perforated Window Graphics
- Marketing Centers
- Construction Banners
- Construction Barricades
