From building wraps and vehicle livery to exhibition stands, wallpaper and event signage. Substrate-aware artwork that holds up at any size and prints first time.
Large format artworking is the discipline of preparing artwork for output at scale — anything from a 2 metre exhibition panel to a building wrap that covers an entire facade. Different printers, different substrates, different colour profiles, different viewing distances. It needs production knowledge as well as design craft: scaling logic, vector vs raster decisions, image resolution at print scale, panel splits, registration marks, and substrate-specific colour management.
We confirm install location, dimensions, substrate, viewing distance and printer spec — the variables that drive every artworking decision.
We plan the scaling and resolution strategy: vector where we can, high-res raster where we must, panel splits where the format demands.
Artwork built to the chosen scale (typically 1:10 with a clean uplift path), pre-flighted against printer spec.
Print-scale proofs and crops back for approval, with substrate notes where they affect colour.
Final files delivered to the printer with release notes; on-call for install-day questions.
Often, yes — but we'll audit it first and flag anything that won't hold up at scale, with a recommendation on what to rebuild and what to keep.
Yes. We work to the printer's spec from the start and handle file release and follow-ups so the install day is uneventful.
Typically 1:10 for very large pieces with a clean uplift path to 1:1 — but we adapt to whatever the printer requires.
