84 Sign Shop x Vincentian

84 Sign Shop x Vincentian 150 150 84 Sign Shop

For the past 5 years, we have had the chance to work with Vincentian and bring their vision to life! We work with their designers who have a concept and then we help them identify or solve the best way to produce a solution for those ideas.

Through COVID, we helped numerous Vincentian locations with signage on safety guidelines, screening policies, sanitizing stations, sidewalk decals, etc. We helped install graphics to update and refresh their Vincentian Learning & Engagement Institute (VLEI) with new logos, pops of color, updated graphics for the auditorium, welcome signs, frosted window graphics, directional signage, hanging frosted decorative acrylics, and more!

We have also helped their Child Discovery Center with eye catching graphics for young children mounting to windows, refrigerators, bathroom doors, student cubbies, and even ceiling tiles! Along with graphic installations at various locations, we have also worked with Vincentian on their fleet graphic decals and installation as well.

    Indoor signage and graphics are great to take your space to the next level without breaking the bank! Whether it is an office, lounge, or executive meeting space, indoor signage could take it to the next level.

    Acrylic Prints

    Acrylic prints are durable and modern – perfect for high-traffic areas such as a common area or lounge. The acrylic gives the photo depth and makes it appear life-like. Acrylic signage is easy to clean and reasonably priced for its high quality. 

    Wall Graphics

    Wall graphics are an easy way to completely transform a room, come in all shapes and sizes, and are completely customizable. Businesses can utilize wall graphics as a marketing tool or even as a visual tool to motivate employees.

    Floor Graphics

    Floor graphics are perfect for directional signage or for marketing in wide-open spaces where someone might walk across a room rather than walking alongside a wall. They are great for entryways or high-traffic areas such as hallways due to their high durability.

    Canvas Prints

    Canvas prints come in all sizes and are a unique way to showcase prints. Whether it is a family photo you want to be printed for your hallway at home or a photo of a store or product that is important to your business – canvas prints are the perfect addition to any wall! 

    Make a Big Impact with Small Format Printing

    Make a Big Impact with Small Format Printing 150 150 84 Sign Shop

    From business cards to brochures, small format printing can make a huge impact on your marketing strategy! The collateral that you are handing out is a direct representation of your business, therefore you want to make sure that it is of the best quality. Below are a few tips to ensure your next small format job turns out perfect:

    Paper Quality

    For small format jobs, there are options when it comes to the paper type used for your job. If printing a simple flyer to hang, we suggest cardstock which is cost-effective and durable. For wedding invitations, we offer Snow Willow which is a thicker, pearlescent paper that will be sure to make a statement for your big day!  Be sure to talk to your salesman for samples of paper weights and the qualities that we offer!

    File Type

    When submitting your file to be printed, we prefer to have it saved as an Adobe PDF in its final, most perfect version! To ensure that the finished product is high quality, we also prefer high-resolution images.

    Design Layout + Image Properties

    When designing your small format job, there are a few things to consider! First, make sure that you are utilizing CMYK colors to ensure that the final, printed product looks like the image you provide. If you are submitting artwork for a brochure or pamphlet, please include fold or perforation lines in your design. Lastly, be sure that your final images include a .125” bleed line on all four sides!
