A Bold First Impression: High-Tack Vinyl Lobby Graphic for Columbus Career and College Academy
At Mr. Postman Print Shop, we believe that school spaces should inspire pride and showcase identity. That’s why we were thrilled to create a high-tack vinyl lobby graphic for Columbus Career and College Academy. This bold design proudly represents the school’s colors and spirit while addressing the challenges of adhering vinyl to drywall.
A Lobby That Inspires Pride
The Columbus Career and College Academy wanted their office lobby to reflect the values and energy of their students and staff. Featuring their mascot and school colors—burgundy and gold—the graphic would serve as a welcoming centerpiece for everyone who entered.
The Challenge: Vinyl on Drywall
Drywall and painted surfaces can be tricky when it comes to vinyl application. The texture and low surface energy of these materials often lead to issues like peeling edges or reduced adhesion over time. For a graphic meant to make a lasting impression, durability was key.
That’s why we chose high-tack vinyl for this project. This specialized material offers aggressive adhesion, making it the perfect choice for drywall and other challenging surfaces.
The Process: Designing and Installing the Graphic
- Custom Design:
We collaborated with the academy to create a bold graphic that incorporated their mascot, school name, and burgundy and gold color scheme. The design was tailored to fit the wall perfectly and stand out in the space. - Printing and Laminating:
The graphic was printed on high-tack vinyl using our eco-solvent printers, ensuring vibrant colors and crisp details. We then laminated the vinyl to protect it from scratches, fading, and wear. - Precision Cutting and Masking:
To ensure clean lines and a professional finish, we contour-cut the design and applied a masking layer for easy installation. - Professional Installation:
Our skilled team installed the graphic with care, ensuring perfect alignment and a smooth, bubble-free application. The high-tack vinyl adhered securely to the drywall, ensuring it would stay in place and look great for years to come.
Why High-Tack Vinyl?
High-tack vinyl is a game-changer for challenging surfaces like drywall because:
- Superior Adhesion: It sticks firmly to textured and low-energy surfaces that standard vinyl can’t handle.
- Durable Finish: The graphic resists peeling and stays vibrant over time, even in high-traffic areas.
- Professional Look: With proper installation, high-tack vinyl provides a seamless, polished appearance.
The Results: A Lobby That Shines
The finished graphic transformed the Columbus Career and College Academy lobby into a space that celebrates school pride and sets the tone for success. The burgundy and gold design is eye-catching and inspiring, making a strong first impression on visitors, students, and staff.
