At Trendz Print Media we never shy away from the complex projects, we are a Vancouver Printing Company that excels under pressure.   One of our recent big project’s we took on was a complex one, which had a very tight deadline.  We were asked by the interior designer of a new restaurant called Rhino’s Kitchen in Richmond B.C., to do a massive interior wall tattoo wrapping project.

The project itself entailed the staff of Trendz Print Media Printing, Laminating, cutting, and doing graphic installation of panels throughout the restaurant.  In total we printed and installed approximately 3000 sqft of vinyl for this particular project, and we had less then a week to do so.   For this particular project the scheduling was so tight we would proof the graphics with the client, then our Vancouver Graphic Design team resize them so they were print ready.   Majority of these panels were black with a grey pattern running through it with either a repeated square pattern, or a black wood grain pattern.   The tricky thing about printing graphics like this is making sure when your printing with 1 basic color which is black, is to make sure that the rip in the software is able to pick up the tone differences in the colors, as well as making sure you don’t run into banding.   Before we did a large panel run we went through an extensive color proofing process to make sure we didn’t run into either one of these problems.

Once we had all graphics approved and had or color tones matched perfectly, we printed all of our panels on an intermediate Avery Gloss Calendar vinyl.  Once panels are printed they cure for 24hours, which allows the ink to settle properly.    After the panels dry for 24 hours, we finish off the printing panels by applying a protective gloss lamination, and then we trim the panels to size.   Last but not least comes installation.

In order to complete this project on time all of our Vancouver Printing, was started at 6am, and we had install crews go into the restaurant late at night and install sometime until 1am.  When Trendz takes on a project we are committed to it and we go he distance to make sure its done right and done on time.  So if you require a time sensitive, high quality printing project contact us today for your customized print quote.

Here are some kind words the client had to say about us:

“This print shop went above and beyond for me project. I was in a rush and needed over 2000sqft of vinyl printing and wall tattoo printed and installed in a restaurant. The staff here when into overdrive and printed during the day and installed at night. There were nights where they didn’t leave until 1am in the morning. This to me is dedication, reliability and flexibility. They worked with me as a team to fulfill the task.

Their printing is top quality and their installation was perfect! Thank you Trendz Print Media. 

I would highly recommend this Vancouver print shop for all your printing needs.”

At Trendz Print Media, we have the best clients.  One of our newest clients is a company called Release the Hounds.  Release the Hounds is a Pet care Service, offering professional and reliable pet care and pet services to Vancouver.

Originally when we were contacted by the graphic designer for Release the Hounds, they were requiring vehicle decalling and  vehicle decal installation to a fleet of the 6 minivans.  The project was done with selct Avery outdoor grade colored vinyl with a 7 year durablility, Oracle perforated vinyl and Rayzor over lamination for protection.   Once the perforated decals are installed they are sealed with a heat gun and, have an edge sealant applied to ensure no lifting of the product.The owners at Release the hounds spare no expense for there K-9 friends, and they knew that when it came to transporting there furry friends it had to be done in style.

How do we create the graphics for Vancouver Vehicle decaling?

When creating the vehicle decaling, there graphic design, was done in the coporate branding colors of cyan, charcoal grey, and white.   They knew that branding colors were key element to staying consistant with there brand recognition, they kept it simple, and clean, which turned out to be very affective.   Be on the lookout for the Vans rolling through town, if you spot it be sure to take photo’s and tag the on our Facebook page at Trendz Print Media!

2011 was a very exciting year for Trendz Print Media and we were lucky to be involved in many unique projects.  One of our favorite projects was the GOtoGAL Television series, which is a comedic series about a “lifestyle” expert sourcing the best places, products and services in Vancouver and beyond.

Originally when we were approached about this project, we were contacted by Adera Angelucci, GotoGal’s creator and executive director.  Adera herself is a unique, new-aged business woman, that’s very charismatic, and full of life.  After meeting with Adera in person and interviewing several Vancouver printing companies, Adera felt GOtoGal and Trendz Print Media had similar business ideas and felt we would be the perfect fit for the show’s first season.

Have you ever been sitting in traffic at a stoplight and seen one of those bag signs that are crunched up and ready to blow off?  We all have, and sad thing is, because of its poor design I was unable to see most of the sign including your business name and phone number which means you lost a potential client. What’s an effective marketing tool you can use to promote your business year round, regardless of weather conditions?  Corrugated lawn Signs, which are available in 4mm or 10mm thickness.

The great thing about corrugated plastic lawn signs is that they’re able to withstand all of our weather conditions and, living in Vancouver, where it rains 9 out of 12 months a year it’s important to have weather resistant outdoor promotional products. These corrugated plastic lawn signs are an effective marketing tool you can use to promote your business year round, with UV solvent, scratch resistant ink, so they can last for a long time. (more…)

How many times have you come across, horribly printed flyers, bad business card printing, or a tacky post card printing?  Personally I have come across it more then I can count!  I always ask myself the same question what’s the point in spending money at any Vancouver printing company, if you’re not promoting yourself properly?

There’s no point!  So don’t waste your time or your money if it’s not something you’re proud to showcase!
