Vehicle Wrap Digitally Printed for Dodge Sprinter Van

When Blue Sky Cleaners wanted to get noticed, Washington Graphics LLC was there to help! With their company vans constantly on the move with their complimentary pick-up and delivery service, turning their fleet into a marketing force seemed like a brilliant idea!

Washington Graphics LLC created the custom vinyl wrap for their Dodge Sprinter van, displaying their name, logo, phone number, and website. This durable vinyl wrap is both fade and tear resistant. It causes absolutely no damage to the vehicle itself, and despite its complete durability, it can removed with no damaged incurred to the car’s original paint job.

According to the American Trucking Association, vehicle graphics can generate up to 16 million visual impressions annually within a single city. Your vehicle will advertise for your business whether it is driving through traffic or just sitting parked on the street. It also increases your brand awareness while giving your company a professional, uniform image when any of its vehicles are out and about.

Blue Sky Cleaners certainly has a unique product that is worth advertising! They pride themselves on being Seattle’s only toxin-free cleaner. According to Blue Sky’s website, their “staff is dedicated to protecting your investments – our process is proven to make your garments last up to 40% longer than any other cleaning method.

‘Attila’ Brought to Life with Large Format Printing – Seattle, WA

Washington Graphics LLC has again partnered with the magnificent Seattle Opera to print both a 3-sheet promotional and a lobby banner advertising for their electrifying performance of Attila.

The opera is set in the fifth century and tells the story of how the main character, leader of the Huns, is vanquished by a Roman woman warrior, Odabella. The masterful performance epitomizes good vs. evil and is filled with dirty politics, assassination plots, and plenty of mischief.

This famous opera by Giuseppe Verdi enjoyed immense popularity among Italians during the 1840s and 1850s.

Although the opera has not had much exposure in the United States, Seattle Opera’s General Director Speight Jenkins thought that audiences today would relate to aspects of Attila’s plot.

Jenkins said, “This is an opera about warfare. More particularly, it’s about an unconventional guerilla-style army taking on an establishment and its better-trained soldiers. You have only to look at the Arab Spring to see how timely that is.”

These familiar aspects of Attila spurred Seattle Opera’s production team to use modern dress for the actors, with the Hun fighters donning fatigues and carrying machine guns. What an interesting twist!

However, the musical qualities in this production don’t only reflect guns and gore. Jenkins notes how Attila is actually a bridge between Verdi’s earlier operas and his later more naturally expressive works (Attila was Verdi’s 9th opera out of 29). According to Jenkins, “There are moments in Attila where the music is as beautiful as anything Verdi ever wrote.”

Founded in 1963 by Glynn Ross, Seattle Opera has grown to be one of the premier opera companies in the United States. Some of their earlier claims to fame under Ross included both the world premiere production of Carlisle Floyd’s opera Of Mice and Men in 1970 and the 1975 production of Wagner’s Ring de Nebilungen opera in a one week festival – something that had not been done in the United States since 1939 or outside of New York ever.

In 1993, they even partnered with Seattle’s famous glass artist Dale Chihuly to create a stunning set for Pelleas et Melisande. It is no surprise that Seattle Opera has the highest per capita attendance of any opera house in the United States.

In addition to their riveting performances, Seattle Opera’s influence extends through education programs, the sets it build for other companies, and the helping hand it lends to community projects such as repairing the Monorail doors for the City of Seattle.

Seattle Opera used both a banner hung from the ceiling of their lobby and a larger promotional one placed outside to intrigue any passersby for a night at the opera!

Imagine what graphics like these could do for your establishment! Promotional campaigns such as these create a buzz about an event or product when you want to generate excitement and always keep your products top of mind.

From barricade graphics promoting a new store to banners such as these, Washington Graphics LLC has all the tools to help you achieve your marketing dreams! If you are interested in similar promotional work, give Washington Graphics LLC a call today at 425.376.0877.

Custom Vinyl Wrapped Furniture

This past week, Washington Graphics was asked to help with a unique project. Ohm Beads had purchased a black case to display a variety of their jewelry pieces at a trade show.

The plain black just wasn’t striking enough, so Ohm Beads asked Washington Graphics LLC to wrap the box in a white vinyl displaying their logo along with a picture of one of their bracelets.

As you can see from the pictures, the vinyl wrap was the perfect way to transform the display case from boring to brilliant! The simple yet bright, eye-catching white color combined with the contrasting graphics will definitely catch the eye of any passersby!

Ohm Beads is a beautiful new jewelry line growing quickly in popularity. Found in jewelry stores across the country, Ohm beads specializes in intricately detailed charms that represent the most important things in your life from family, romance, nature and humor, to travel and culture.

Black Display Case Before Wrapping

The display case was wrapped in a vinyl material, similar to that of a vehicle wrap. This material can also be removed without damaging the case.

This makes wraps such as this the perfect, cost-effective solution for temporary uses such as advertising seasonal shipments or holiday sales.

Washington Graphics LLC Prints Transit Advertising for PCC Natural Markets

During the past month, Washington Graphics LLC and PCC Natural Markets teamed up to create a variety of eye-catching, mouth-watering transit graphics for the Seattle Metro Bus System. The signs were 30″ x 144″ and pictured a variety of delectable holiday foods such as cookies, cheese, cherries, and oranges.

PCC Natural Markets has a long history as a local Seattle establishment dating back to 1953, when it began as a food-buying club of 15 families. Today, PCC has grown to be the largest food retail co-operative in the United States!

The retailer has nine locations in the Puget Sound area and is owned by almost 45,000 members. PCC is first and foremost committed to the superior quality of the food they sell. Local food vendors that partner with PCC are directly accountable to the grocer’s staff, ensuring that only the highest quality food gets sold.

Furthermore, PCC only partners with local organic farmers to bring their customers the freshest products available. The retailer also prides itself on showing customers how to create delectable recipes through classes taught by professional chefs through the PCC Cooks program.

PCC genuinely cares about the consumer as well, sharing nutrition issues that affect you and your family in their monthly newsletter called The Sound Consumer.

Transit advertising is one of the most effective ways of marketing your brand. In fact, according to the American Trucking Association, vehicle graphics such as these can generate up to 16 million views annually within a city.

Bus advertisements are particularly effective because of their travel patterns. They are constantly traveling through densely populated and demographically diverse areas at all times of the day and night. What other form of marketing can achieve that level of exposure?

Transit advertising also increases credibility and brand awareness while giving your company a professional, uniform, recognizable image.

Washington Graphics LLC opened shop in 1976 specifically to service the transit advertising business. Today, we are still the dominant producer of transit graphics in the Pacific Northwest.

Our screen printing capabilities offer substantial cost savings over digitally imaged posters when producing simple text or spot color, while our digitally imaged posters allow for extreme creativity.
