Large Format Printing in Los Angeles, Printed In-House and Installed by Our Crew
Large format printing is the engine behind most of the signs on this site. Global Signs & Graphics prints in-house on wide-format printers and laminators in our Pacoima shop, which means window graphics, wall wraps, banners and vehicle graphics come off our own equipment, get finished by our own people and go on the wall with our own installers. No outsourcing, no waiting on a print broker, and one company responsible for the result.

Materials and Finishing
Cast vinyl for long-term exterior graphics and vehicles, calendared vinyl for flat short-term work, perforated window film, frosted and etched-look films, removable and high-tack wall vinyls, 13-ounce and 18-ounce banner material, mesh for windy sites, and dye-sublimated fabric for backdrops. Every printed graphic that goes outdoors is laminated for UV and abrasion protection; die-cut lettering and logos are contour-cut and pre-masked for installation.
Files, Proofs and Turnaround
Send us vector artwork (AI, EPS or PDF) or high-resolution images through our send-a-file page; if all you have is a business card, our designers rebuild the logo. You get a proof at the final size before anything is printed. Banners and simple graphics are typically ready within a few business days from approved artwork; wraps, murals and multi-panel installations are scheduled around the site. Rush jobs are possible when the schedule allows; tell us the date first.

Large Format Printing FAQ
What sizes can you print?
Wide-format rolls up to standard sign widths, and larger graphics are printed in panels and tiled on site with overlapping seams, so a wall or window of any size can be covered.
Do you print only, or install too?
Both. Most customers have us print and install; contractors and other sign shops also order print-only work from us for their own installation.
How long do printed graphics last outdoors?
Laminated cast vinyl graphics are rated for several years of Los Angeles sun; banners and short-term promotional decals are made for months. We tell you the expected life of each material when we quote.
Can you match my brand colors?
Yes. We print from your brand color values and check the proof against a physical swatch when the color matters, for example on a franchise storefront.
