When you think of printing, you might picture posters, banners, or maybe even business cards. But with the advancements in large-format printing, there’s a whole world of unexpected items that can be customized with vibrant, high-quality prints. At VistaCraft, we’re always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and here are five surprising things you didn’t know you could print on:
1. Vehicles: Transform Your Ride
You’ve probably seen sleek, branded company vehicles on the road, but did you know that large-format printing allows for custom designs to be wrapped around almost any vehicle? From full car wraps to partial designs, you can turn your car, truck, or even your boat into a moving billboard. Whether it’s for branding or a personal touch, vehicle wraps are a creative and powerful way to get noticed.
Bonus Tip: It’s not just limited to businesses! Personal wraps with custom colors or patterns are becoming a trend for car enthusiasts.
2. Floor Graphics: Make Every Step Count
Floor graphics are often used in retail spaces for navigation or promotions, but did you know they’re also great for events, trade shows, or even your home? With durable, slip-resistant materials, large-format floor decals can create an eye-catching design in high-traffic areas, like conference halls or busy store aisles. You can even personalize floors at weddings or corporate events to add an extra layer of customization.
Think Beyond Retail: Add a fun, interactive element to kids’ playrooms or personal home gyms with printed floor designs.
3. Windows and Glass Surfaces: See Through Creativity
Windows aren’t just for looking through anymore! With large-format printing, you can add custom graphics, frosted designs, or promotional messaging directly onto glass surfaces. Whether it’s for privacy, advertising, or purely decorative purposes, window decals and wraps are an effective way to utilize all available space in your office or storefront.
Pro Tip: Window Clings, frosted or perforated window vinyl allows you to maintain privacy while still letting in natural light.
4. Magnets: Portable Branding That Sticks
Magnets are often overlooked as a powerful advertising tool. With large-format printing, you can create eye-catching custom magnets for vehicles, promotional giveaways, or even fridge magnets. Magnetic signs are especially useful for businesses that need flexible branding options, like contractors or delivery services, because they can be easily removed and reapplied.
Perfect for Temporary Use: Vehicle magnets are ideal for businesses that don’t want permanent wraps, offering flexibility for personal and business use.
5. Wood: Bring Nature into Design
Wood printing is one of the most unique ways to give your décor a rustic, personalized touch. Large-format printers can now apply detailed graphics onto wood surfaces, making it perfect for everything from custom signs to art pieces. The natural texture of the wood adds an extra dimension to the design, making each piece truly unique.
Perfect for Outdoors: Printed wood signs can be used for outdoor spaces, as they are durable and weather-resistant with the right finishing.
