To create a “wow” moment for visitors and spectators in a venue setting, it’s often necessary to do things in a way they’ve never been done before. For print graphics, that means using traditional materials to create non-traditional displays. Here are some tips for creating specialty and one-off print graphics:

###### Choosing the Right Materials

Specialty graphics can be a unique case when choosing materials. In general, printed signage looks and holds up better when it’s made of the highest quality materials. However, if a specialty graphic only needs to make it through a single event, there are opportunities to work with lower-cost materials (vinyl, corrugated plastic, etc.) with minimal effect on appearance. Set clear expectations for the appearance, durability, and timeline of the project with your print provider.

###### Choose Your Team

Even the most experienced event coordination team can benefit from working with a well-rounded print provider. When creating unique graphics for large-scale events, there’s rarely an instruction manual for the “right way” to do anything. An experienced print team will bring institutional knowledge to the table, including:

- Project management processes in place for atypical situations
- A full creative team specializing in design for print substrates
- Effective person-to-person communication (points of contact)
- Network of experts to tap into

###### Production Capabilities

Because most large printers have a large client base, capacity can become a factor. One-off jobs can get de-prioritized in high-capacity productions that rely solely on regular client work. In our case, The Vomela Companies is able to distribute work across a [large network of print locations](https://blog.vomela.com/blog/5-benefits-of-a-large-network-print-partner), each one specializing in different areas. In the case of a large event, we’d lean toward sending the job to our [Fusion Imaging](https://www.fusionimaging.com/) location, which focuses primarily on large-format event work.
