By material and effect
Self-adhesive films: a face, an adhesive and a liner, each chosen for the surface it goes on.
EZ Print is a printing company in Singapore, trading since 2017 and working in the Central Business District. Self-adhesive films: a face, an adhesive and a liner, each chosen for the surface it goes on. 19 objects in this section are made of it, across large format, signage, stands and display systems and packaging, and they are bought most often for retail, launch, roadshow and exhibition stand. 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.
19entries
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.
Large format · Signage
Printed self-adhesive film applied to glass or to a hard floor. The film is chosen for the surface it has to leave cleanly, and the laminate over it is chosen for what walks on it.
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 · 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.
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.
No plateThe product is a snap frame and a water-fillable base; the print in it is a plain poster in a slot with no layer order, no relief, no allowance and no edge specific to it. If a standard poster size is ever committed to the panel table this can carry a drop — until then the frame is the thing worth photographing, not drawing.
Stands and display systems · Signage · Large format
Two hinged panels that stand on their own, holding a poster behind a snap frame. The frame outlives every poster it carries, so the running cost is the sheet and nothing else.
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.
Large format · Signage
Perforated film that reads as a solid graphic from the street and as a window from inside. The holes are the product: they are what the eye outside ignores and what the eye inside sees through.
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.
Signage · Large format
Film cut to the shape of the artwork rather than to a rectangle: lettering, logos and decals with no background at all. The edge of the graphic is the edge of the shape.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Signage
A printed graphic under a textured laminate made to be walked on. The print is the easy half; the laminate and the state of the floor decide whether it survives its first week.
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.
Large format · Signage
A banner with holes in it, so the wind passes through rather than pushing against it. On an exposed elevation the mesh is not a compromise on the image — it is what keeps the banner and its fixings attached to the building.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Signage
Printed panels fixed to the timber hoarding around a site, working as a fence, an advertisement and a piece of the street for as long as the works run.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Signage
Cast film conformed over a vehicle’s panels, curves and recesses. A full wrap changes the colour of the vehicle; a part wrap puts the message where the panels are flat and leaves the difficult geometry alone.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format · Signage
A translucent print made to be read by light coming through it. The specification is decided by the box rather than by the image: how deep it is, how it is lit, and how much of the graphic the frame swallows.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Large format
A wall covered edge to edge with a printed graphic, hung in panels with matched joins. The decision that matters is not the image but what the wall is made of and how the mural has to come off it.
Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.
Packaging · Collateral
A mirror or a diffraction pattern under the ink instead of white paper behind it. Every colour printed on it becomes a tint of the metal, which is the effect and also the trap.
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.
Artwork is welcome but not required to start. Email sales@ezprint.com.sg if you would rather attach files.
