Large Format

Billboards, posters, bus shelters, building wraps, and bus backs and sides are brand touchpoints that have just seconds to capture the on-the-go consumer’s attention – but they are capable of great marketing impact.

Printing these materials requires complex, specialized skills to ensure that they retain their compelling nature and are consistent from location to location – around the corner and around the world. The unusually large sizes of most outdoor media make uncommon demands on premedia requirements and printing production. While we serve any industry requiring large format printing, Schawk has built its expertise in this area by developing a model to help the film industry – which demands visual perfection at any size – meet its unique challenges.

Our clients include some of the biggest brand names in the film industry, the electronics world and the retail sector. Schawk’s ability to manage color, printing and workflows is supported by advanced large-format imaging and printing technology. Sharp, vibrant, consistent images can only be achieved when the technology is matched by the expertise managing it.

Services include large-format printing, full on-site installation, management and ongoing services. Schawk can provide environmentally sustainable solutions, as well. For example, using the latest generation of environmentally-friendly materials, Schawk partnered with NBC/Universal Studios to create one of the first environmentally sustainable outdoor campaigns in the film industry. Schawk also offers print fulfillment and logistics services.

Additionally, Schawk’s Los Angeles facility received chain of custody certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) in December 2006.
