BIG Images’ over the street banners are the perfect way to spread excitement about your upcoming event! They’re a great solution for announcing:
  • Festivals
  • Concerts

Benefits of Over the Street Banners

BIG Images’ street banners are created specifically for the outdoor environment. They are waterproof, capable of withstanding rain and dew. They are also bright and vivid, staying colorfast even in the harshest sunlight.

Our mesh banner is naturally wind resistant. This offers a few benefits: increased safety because wind can pass through the entire surface area of the banner, and better readability because there are no wind-slits interrupting the image.

BIG Images’ years of experience and industry contacts allow us to quickly and inexpensively produce banners that meet the strict sign regulations of your city.

Window Graphic

Window Perforated Media, illustrated by Ben Lawless

BIG Images Window Graphics — see-through window film for retail and store-front signage.

Perforated Window Graphics at BIG Images storefront
In this picture you see window-mounted perforated graphics on BIG Images storefront. From the outside all you can see is the printed image. From the inside it looks like mild window-tinting — you can see through the print as if it was not there.

New print technology can turn any window into a sign from the outside while leaving the view unobstructed from the inside. This inexpensive media gives small business owners an edge by turning every store-front window into valuable marketing opportunities.

The Benefits of Window Graphics

With BIG Images Window Graphics any window becomes an opportunity to attract more walk-by and drive-by traffic. Window graphics are engineered so that when viewed from the outside you see the printed image. However, when seen from the inside the print disappears and you see straight through it. Its inexpensive enough to use for short-term marketing campaigns and durable enough to last for one full year outdoors.
  • Make new customer-impressions from existing window area
  • Does not obstruct the view through window from the inside
  • Still allows for natural light to pass through
  • Improves security by making it harder to see into the windows

Large Format Printing for the rest of us

Large Format Printing has not been on the scene for very long. Outside of a few key industries, the benefits of a company like BIG Images are not immediately obvious to the uninitiated. In this article I am going to describe how a few of BIG Images’ clients have recieved invaluable solutions to their printing needs.

Preserving the Past

An old photo panorama, circa 1920, preserved through BIG Images digital printing process

BIG Images only prints with water-proof and light-resistant inks. Our photo-paper is equally strong, able to withstand fading and preserve its whiteness for years. This enabled a customer of ours to preserve a turn of the century panorama for future generations. Our customer had an old photograph that had been taped together from many smaller photographs. We were able to help them create archival quality, fade resistant prints for everyone in the family, preserving their heritage for future generations. This project was completed using our 10.5 mil photo paper, our uv-blocking luster laminate, and 1/2” thick black gator board for a rigid backer.

Interior Decoration

BIG Images’ printing methods offer a low-cost way to create custom wall-coverings. As an example, one of our customers wanted to decorate her children’s bedroom doors. She brought us images of Elvis and Marilyn Monroe, which we were able print full size, as large as her doors. She was then able to simply apply these large stickers to the new doors for a unique look all her own. This project used our water-proof and scratch resistance adhesive backed vinyl.
