By application
Stage, registration desk and delegate bag, usually against a fixed run-of-show.
EZ Print is a printing company in Singapore, trading since 2017 and working in the Central Business District. 28 printed objects in this section suit a conference: stage, registration desk and delegate bag, usually against a fixed run-of-show. They span stands and display systems, large format, collateral and signage, and they are made of rigid board, fabric, foil and texture and vinyl and film. Each one below states what it is, what it is printed on, how it feels in the hand, what it suits, its lead time — the one standard window, stated identically on every entry — and the mistake made with it most often. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.
28entries
Every one a real commercial print product, described by what it is made of rather than by what it looks like.
6fields
What it is, what it is printed on, how it feels, what it suits, the lead time and the common mistake. Every entry answers all six.
The shelf
Every entry states the same six things in the same order, so two objects can be compared without reading two pages of prose. The lead time is typical and confirmed on quote; the mistake is the one that costs a reprint.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A woven polyester graphic sewn with a silicone bead and tensioned into an aluminium frame, so the printed surface is flat, seamless across its width and free of glare under a camera.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
A single heavy card struck with a heated brass block, so the mark is a mirror set slightly below the surface of the sheet. It reads by reflection and by touch rather than by colour.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A backlit aluminium frame with a woven polyester graphic tensioned into it by a sewn silicone edge, so the panel glows evenly, the fixings vanish and the frame outlives every graphic it carries.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
No plateEvery fact that would tell this drawing apart — panel count, overlap width, curve radius, magnetic bar pitch — is hardware geometry the estate holds no figure for, and the printed panel itself is a plain laminated drop with no layer order or edge specific to it. Blank space is the honest answer until there is a photograph of the frame.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A folding lattice frame that opens into a wall without tools, with graphic panels hung across it on magnetic bars. Curved and straight are the same hardware set differently.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A flexible display built from clamp rails on a springy mast, so a run of printed panels forms a curve or a column rather than a flat wall — and any one panel can be swapped on its own.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
Two objects from one frame system: a tall skinned tower that is seen across a hall, and a waist-high counter that gives a person somewhere to stand. Both re-skin, both pack into the same case.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format · Signage
An overhead frame spanning an entrance or a walkway, carrying a printed header above the crowd and a wrap on each leg. It is the element at an event that everybody walks under and most people photograph.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
No plateThe entry says in its own words that the rack is hardware and is not printed, so half of it cannot be drawn at all; the other half is a die-cut net, and the estate holds no die line for it. A drawing of one panel of a folded holder would assert a specification that does not exist.
Stands and display systems · Collateral
Two answers to one problem: a folding rack that is hardware and outlives every campaign, and a die-cut folded board that is print and carries a message of its own on the way to the brochure.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A sewn polyester cover that turns a borrowed trestle table into a branded surface. The band that is reliably seen is far smaller than the band that gets printed.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A printed drop wound onto a spring roller inside an aluminium cassette. One person puts it up, it travels on public transport, and on the cheapest hardware the graphic cannot be changed at all.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
The same idea as a roll-up, built to be reloaded: a heavier base, a cassette that opens, and a tensioned rail top and bottom that takes the wave out of the face.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Signage
A clear acrylic panel held off the wall on barrels, with the graphic printed on the reverse face so it is read through the panel and protected by it. The default reception-wall treatment.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A printed figure cut to its own outline and stood on a folding strut, so a person or a product appears at full size in a room. The cheapest object on a stand that people photograph themselves beside.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Large format
A bolt-together aluminium wall skinned in tensioned fabric, assembled straight, curved or cornered from the same parts — and the step-and-repeat media wall built on the same frame for a camera.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Signage
Etch-effect film cut to a pattern and applied to glass, so a partition reads as a surface rather than as an invisible hazard. Privacy, wayfinding and a visible glass line, in one layer.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format
A printed film with a high-tack, moulded face made to key into carpet pile, then lifted off at the end of the show without taking the carpet with it.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Stands and display systems
A printed drop hung from the structure above rather than fixed to anything below it. The graphic is the simple part; the rigging rules, the load and the window to work in are the job.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Stands and display systems · Signage
A paper-cored rigid board: two liners bonded to a honeycomb of paper cells. Stiff for its weight, printable directly, and at the end of the show it belongs in the paper stream rather than the plastic one.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Signage · Stands and display systems
A closed-cell foamed PVC board — light, matt, easy to cut and easy to fix — which is why it has become the default rigid panel for indoor display. Sold under trade names including Foamex, Forex and Palight.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral · Packaging
A clear varnish screened onto chosen areas of a matt sheet and cured hard, so a mark stands proud of the ground. It is found by a fingertip before it is read by an eye.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
Colour applied by hand to the guillotined edge of a stack and left to cure, so the card carries a band of colour nobody expects to find there. The edge does the work and the faces can stay quiet.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
Two or three sheets laminated face to face to reach a thickness no single sheet in the range gives. The bond line shows as a stripe along every cut edge, and on a coloured core that stripe is the point.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
A relief plate inked and pressed into a soft, thick sheet, so the image is printed and impressed in the same action. The bite can be read from the back of the card with the eyes shut.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral · Packaging
A matched pair of dies presses a sheet into relief with no ink and no foil. It is the only finish that survives being photocopied, faded or reprinted, because there is no colour in it to lose.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral · Packaging
A rubberised matt film bonded over the print, with a micro-textured surface that reads as suede under a fingertip. It is the most-noticed finish in a stack and the one that shows every mark.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
Three different ways a sheet gets its surface — formed in the sheet, marked while wet, or embossed after making. The difference decides what survives being printed on it.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral · Packaging
Two operations that are constantly confused. A score is a channel pressed into the sheet so it folds without cracking. A perforation is a line of cuts and ties so a part comes away straight.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Collateral
What happens when a sheet carries more than one finish: the order the passes have to run in, the tolerance that stacks up across them, and the pairs that simply refuse to share a card.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Three ways in, and the other two are still open. The same entries are catalogued by occasion, by object and by substance, because a buyer arrives knowing one of the three.
If nothing here is the object you had in mind, the other two indexes hold the same entries under different headings.
Every job is quoted from its specification — stock, quantity, sides, finish, size and deadline.
