Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between vinyl and mesh banners?

    Vinyl banners offer solid, vibrant backgrounds ideal for storefronts and indoor events, while mesh banners feature tiny perforations that reduce wind resistance for outdoor installations. At I3 Imaging Group, we help wholesale clients select the right material based on placement and weather exposure.

  • How long does it take to produce custom stickers?

    Most custom sticker orders are completed within a few business days, depending on size, quantity, and material choice. I3 Imaging Group offers fast turnaround for wholesale clients nationwide, ensuring orders ship promptly after file approval.

  • What affects the cost of large format printing?

  • Do you offer blind shipping for wholesale orders?

    Yes, I3 Imaging Group provides blind shipping so wholesale clients can fulfill orders under their own branding. This service is ideal for sign shops and printers who want to maintain direct customer relationships while outsourcing production.

  • What's the best way to prepare artwork for printing?

    Use high-resolution files (300 dpi minimum), convert fonts to outlines, and ensure colors are set to CMYK for accurate reproduction. I3 Imaging Group offers design services and artwork guidelines to help wholesale partners refine files before printing.

  • How do reinforced hems improve banner durability?

    Reinforced hems distribute tension evenly along edges, reducing tearing at grommets or mounting points during wind or handling. I3 Imaging Group includes reinforced hems on outdoor banners to extend lifespan and maintain professional appearance throughout extended use.

  • Can I order just one yard sign or do I need bulk?

    I3 Imaging Group accommodates both single-unit orders and bulk quantities for wholesale clients. Whether you need one prototype or hundreds for a campaign, production workflows support flexible order sizes with consistent quality nationwide.

  • What's the biggest mistake people make with vehicle magnets?

    Applying magnets over dirt or wax residue reduces magnetic hold and traps debris, causing scratches. At I3 Imaging Group, we recommend cleaning and drying the vehicle surface thoroughly before each application to ensure strong adhesion and protect paint.

  • Why does color accuracy matter for retail signage?

    Consistent color builds brand recognition and ensures all in-store graphics match packaging, logos, and marketing materials. I3 Imaging Group uses proven large-format workflows and color management to deliver accurate, repeatable results for wholesale partners across multiple print runs.

  • How do you cut custom shapes for decals?

    Large-bed cutting machines precisely follow digital cut paths, creating clean edges for intricate logos, lettering, and specialty shapes. At I3 Imaging Group, precision cutting ensures bubble-free installation and professional presentation for storefronts, windows, and vehicles.

  • What materials work best for outdoor event signage?

    Vinyl banners, weather-resistant rigid signs, and mesh materials handle sun, rain, and wind effectively. I3 Imaging Group recommends matching material to event duration and location, ensuring sponsor boards, directional signs, and booth graphics remain vibrant throughout multi-day festivals.
