OUR PRODUCTS Posters, Signs, and Banners
ART PHOTO POSTERS
There are so many different photo papers on the market and with a dizzying number of characteristics, it’s hard to choose the one that will get the job done right. Our Art Photo Posters achieve the best balance of premium quality, high resolution, vibrant colours and crisp detail, while still being versatile and economical. These posters satisfy the discerning eye for high quality photo prints but are also good for everyday reproductions that demand quality at an affordable price. They are perfect for posters which will be framed and will have minimal exposure to the sun.
REGULAR POSTERS
We searched high and low for the perfect poster media that could withstand high traffic retail spaces, yet still display amazing printed graphics. We wanted something that was resistant to UV and water damage without any added surface protection. And we wanted something that was economical and felt nice to the touch. The result is our 10mil synthetic paper with a tear-resistant smooth matte finish, high opacity, and 100% recyclabilty. These posters are perfect on their own, but also work well inside a carrier or frame. Use them for in-store advertising, event posters, or even framed art. They can also be used for short term outdoors.
HANGING POSTERS
Hanging Posters are our Regular Posters with the added benefit of pockets at the top or top and bottom. Get the attention of your audience and gain exposure in retail locations or event applications. Using a dowel (which can be purchased at any hardware store), Hanging Posters can be easily suspended from the ceiling or a fixture.
INDOOR SIGN
“Foam core” or “foam board” is the go-to option for interior signage requiring a lightweight yet rigid panel. But not all foam boards are created equal! We choose to work with this particular substrate because of its silky, bright white surface, good flatness, and durable core that doesn’t tear when it is cut. Our indoor signs are printed directly onto the substrate, eliminating any worry of bubbling, wrinkling or peeling that can happen with an adhesive-mounted graphic. Use the sign within a frame or without, or add the Twist-N-Hooks for a simple yet effective hanging sign solution.
INDOOR SIGN PREMIUM
For high traffic interiors or longer term use, our premium Indoor Signs are printed on a heavy-duty “foam core” or “foam board” that is more resistant to dents and corner damage. They are similar to our regular Indoor Signs, however, the face is made of wood fibre rather than paper which gives the panel extra stiffness and durability. Our premium Indoor Signs are printed directly onto the substrate, eliminating any worry of bubbling, wrinkling or peeling that can happen with an adhesive-mounted graphic. This premium panel has one of the brightest white surfaces of its kind, making it possible to reproduce superb colour.
OUTDOOR SIGN
An outdoor sign that looks good day after day - even having been through tough weather conditions - will continue to be noticed and appreciated. One of the most versatile and economical signage mediums, our outdoor signs are printed direct onto corrugated plastic and are very durable: waterproof, weather resistant, and stain resistant. Use them on fences, buildings, lawns (with step stakes), or in sandwich boards.
VINYL BANNER
We weren’t satisfied with the common foul-odoured, flimsy 13oz banner currently in the market - so we set out to source something better. The result is a nearly odourless 15oz banner with superior flatness and stability, high tensile strength and UV stability. And best of all, it’s made with REACH-compliant “eco” PVC, meaning it was made without a lot of the harmful chemicals often used in the production of conventional PVC. Whether it’s for an indoor retail or trade show application, or an outdoor sporting or community event, banners are a great way to gain brand exposure, awareness, name recognition, and to get the word out!
IDEALEDGE DISPLAY
IdealEdge Display utilizes an innovative technique where V-groove cuts are made into printed foam core and folded into a gallery display. At less than half the price of conventional stretched canvas and 100% recyclable, Grafata is excited to launch this product into the market. Quick turnaround and affordability make this product ideal for various applications. There is nothing quite like it.
V-groove cuts are made onto the reverse side of the UV inkjet-printed foamcore. Adhesive is then applied and the foamcore is folded into a gallery wrap. A premium version is also available using mounted satin-laminated vinyl, adding additional durability and a special finish to the final piece.
Clockwise from top left: grommet, easel, Pick-N-Hooks, removable adhesive tabs for windows (clear), removable adhesive tabs for walls (white), pockets (with dowel), Twist-N-Hooks
ACCESSORIES We also carry numerous accessories for your graphic products. Quality,
innovative hanging and adhesive solutions will help to ensure your prints are displayed in their best manner. Each piece is individually priced, so you’ll always get only what you order.
