Window & commercial graphics
Custom Window & Commercial Graphics
Window and commercial graphics are printed or cut graphics made for the glass, doors and interior walls of a business. You send your brand files and the measurements of the actual surface; we review the artwork at the size it will be seen, design and print it in our Magnolia, Texas studio, and quote the project — with installation looked into on request.
An example of storefront and door graphics, shown to illustrate the kind of work. The business name and branding in this image are part of a design mockup, not a client project.
Storefront and door graphics
A shopfront has to work from across the parking lot and from arm's length. Large window graphics carry the name and the offer; door graphics carry the practical details — hours, entry, a logo at eye level, a pull or push mark.
We also talk about what to leave alone. Glass that stays clear matters for daylight, for seeing into a room and for not covering something a code or lease requires to be visible, so coverage is a decision rather than a default.
Office, reception and interior walls
Inside, the same printing becomes a reception wall, a printed feature behind a desk, a corridor treatment or a meeting-room graphic. A wall graphic can be the whole surface or a single motif placed where a photograph will be taken.
Material is chosen for the wall and the traffic it gets. Our own studio wall, shown here, is a printed wallcovering — the same process behind most commercial interior work we make.
Cut lettering and decals
Not every graphic wants a printed background. Cut lettering and shaped decals leave the surface behind them visible, which suits hours of business on glass, a logo on a door, wayfinding on a wall, numbering, or a small mark repeated across a set of windows.
-
Cut lettering
Individual letters and shapes cut from the material, applied with the glass or wall showing through.
-
Printed decals
Full-color shapes for logos and illustrations that more than one color cannot express.
-
Sets and repeats
One design sized for several windows or doors, kept consistent across every opening.
Reviewing your logo and brand files
Send the logo and any brand guide you have. We check it at the size it will actually be produced, because a file that looks fine in a signature block can fall apart at door height. Vector artwork is ideal; if it does not exist, we will tell you whether what you have can be used or needs rebuilding — and we will ask before changing anything about your mark.
Measuring the surface
Measurements come from the surface itself, not from a plan. For glass, we want the width and height of each pane and the frame or mullion between them. For a wall, the overall width and height plus anything interrupting it — a switch, a thermostat, a return. A straight-on photo lets us sanity-check the numbers before anything is printed.
How a job runs
-
Brief and measurements
You tell us the surfaces, what the graphic has to say and where the business is. We come back with questions rather than assumptions.
-
Design and review
We lay the artwork out to the measured sizes and show you how it sits on the glass or wall. Printed samples are complimentary when color needs to be confirmed.
-
Print and hand over
Graphics are printed and finished here in Magnolia, then prepared for collection or shipping. Shipping is quoted per project and destination.
Installation is not included in a print order and we keep no in-house installation crew. Installation can be discussed on request for nearby locations, including Houston, The Woodlands, Spring and Magnolia, and is quoted separately. Every commercial job is quoted for its own surfaces, materials and artwork scope.
Commercial graphics questions
What files do you need from my brand?
Send whatever you have and we will tell you what is usable. Vector logo files are ideal because they scale without losing edge quality; if all you have is a small image file, we will look at it at final size and say whether it needs to be rebuilt. Brand color references help us match rather than guess.
How should I measure the window?
Measure the glass itself, pane by pane, rather than the whole frame, and note the frame or mullion widths between panes. A photo taken straight on with something of known size in it helps us check the numbers.
Can you apply the graphics for us?
Our focus is design and printing. Installation is not included in a print order; it can be discussed on request for nearby locations and is quoted separately.
Can we see a printed sample first?
Yes. Samples are complimentary and chosen for your project, so you can check color and finish against your brand before a full run is printed.
