ATX Loves Local Businesses like Global Printing!

South by Southwest has kept us super busy the last couple weeks with clients both old and new, and we just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your business and all your awesome projects! This time of year we always get really cool poster, banner, and signage requests. Check out some highlights from SXSW below:

Hot off the Mimaki CJV…
Gorgeous Posters. Look at the COLORS.
The Lil Zac we printed was not so little.

We co-sponsored and attended Circle Brewery’s 5th Annual .5K back in October, and it was an absolute blast! A 0.5K is only 1,640 feet, so it’s not exactly an endurance race. The micro marathon takes place at the brewery, in their oversized parking lot. All runners are divided into heats, and each runner is given 2 pints of beer with a fill line to hold while running. Any runner who spills below the line during their run is disqualified! Prizes were awarded to the winners of each heat, and our very own Austin a.k.a. Noodle won a ribbon! The event also benefited our long time partners, American Heart Association, and raised awareness about heart health. We supplied the Step & Repeat Backdrop and Finish Line Banner for the event. It was an awesome time, and we can’t wait to do it again next October! Check out the pictures below… All photography by Dani Parsons

We designed and printed these business cards for Engineer turned Fine Artist Tom Bentley, and they turned out great! Many artists prefer to let the work speak for itself, so a design featuring one of your pieces on one side and no frills contact info on the other is a great way to go. Tom also opted for suede lamination, which makes an otherwise simple card very memorable and luxurious. We love supporting local artists, so if you’re interested in business cards, prints, or custom swag to promote your work, drop us a line!

We have a variety of shape options available for these large flags, most of which stand around 10 feet high. Choose between ground stakes for outdoor applications, or a weighted stand for display on pavement or indoors. Perfect for openings, marking entrances, and creating a festive atmosphere just about anywhere! Contact us for pricing and details.

Behold, our beautiful sponsor banner for our friends at Davis Elementary! We chose vinyl mesh for this project because it will be displayed on a fence by their sports field. The mesh material allows wind to blow through while still appearing opaque from afar, so the banner will get whipped around a lot less and will be easier to read and less likely to rip. Mesh banners can be optimized for even more windy conditions (like high up across roadways, etc) by adding semi circular wind slits. Got an outdoor area you think might benefit from a wind friendly banner? Drop us a line!

We had the pleasure of producing some huge art prints as well as a row of pop up banners to decorate the facility at Opifex Global, a commercial astronaut training facility right outside of Austin! The wall art is printed on 3mm PVC using our state of the art flatbed printer, using waterproof and UV resistant inks. The banners are featured on our deluxe pop up stands. Contact us to learn how we can help you decorate your space today!
