The Specialty Graphics Imaging Association (SGIA) is the leading professional association for large format imaging companies and suppliers. Their yearly exposition draws global attendees uniting to improve business skills, discover new products, and see current production technologies. As a SGIA member, participating in the 2018 EXPO was an exciting opportunity for Digitype Design to expand product knowledge applicable to client projects. A few of the highlights, from the over 500 exhibitors, deserve special attention.
The world of specialty window graphics is constantly evolving. From brand messaging techniques to substrates, there are stimulating innovative trends and developments. A revolutionary printable surface called CLING-KING™ for windows symbolizes the next generation for adhering applications.
Made in the USA, the new cling technology doesn’t use adhesives or a static charge for a glass or plastic connection. Instead, millions of microscopic suction cups grip surfaces with a holding force of 220 pounds per square foot. It’s super strong, reusable, and easily repositioned. Also, when removed, bonding areas are residue free.
With CLING-KING™ qualities like transparent, frosted, white, Dry Erase, and a green or black Chalk Board, a range of imaging and messaging options becomes reality. For instance, using the green Chalk Board surface it’s easy to turn a window into a fun retail display area for changing specials or for making a “write-on” creative space.
One-hundred percent polypropylene and recyclable with a smooth printing surface, there’s little not to like about Akyprint®. The Akyprint® disposition is enhanced if you’re looking for a substrate that’s rigid, strong, easily used outside and fights off elements like moisture, oil, or chemicals. Think of Akyprint® as the imaging industry version of a versatile, stylish, sport utility vehicle.
With the ability to showcase vibrant colors, Akyprint® Smooth is an optimal solution for elegant and portable exhibit stands, premium packaging, POS, or trade show displays. Large format imaging for permanent installations will also benefit from Akyprint®. It’s a natural choice for widespread regional or national locations as it’s easily shipped and withstands DIY installations.
As the imaging industry progresses, Digitype Design is committed to bringing the latest innovations to our customers. Digitype Design knows our responsibilities reach beyond putting ink on substrates. They view their role as active participants in client success and education at all levels of innovative visual imaging.
