Here's a sign that we had a really fun time making, but we just don't see that often! It's a combination of high resolution digitally printed graphics and dimensional layers, and is really stunning out at the site. We printed the graphics with our high quality flatbed uv-curing printer, cut the shapes on our Gerber CNC router and assembled the entire job with multiple layers for a truly unique sign.

You wont see this unless you take a trip to the Cape May County Zoo -It marks the entrance to the Savannah at the rear of the zoo. If you have never been to the Cape May Zoo, and you live anywhere in South Jersey, you are missing a real treat, in any season (ok, we've never been there when it's really cold!) It's a low-cost family day, and just big enough to keep kids attention but not wear them out.

A note on the design of this sign. It was designed by Randy Slamowitz a graphic designer/illustrator for the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, a truly great interpretive graphic artist.

What do you do when you receive a call for arabic street signs for a special project? Luckily for us street signs are part of our repertoire. Arabic signs are not (typically), but thanks to the internet we were able to acquire the proper translations for the signs our client requested. Another unique project at Typestries! Challenge us, we're ready!

Another great vehicle advertising idea! This concept came from our client, the Cleaning Authority. They want a simple, lightweight, and relatively inexpensive sign that can be placed on top of the cleaner's cars while they are inside the house cleaning. They did not want to use a job site sign due to the fact that they didn't want to ask each client for permission to put a sign in the yard. This is a perfect solution for this client and any client that uses personal vehicles to call on clients, yet does not want the personal vehicle lettered permanently or magnetic signs on the car while it's in motion. If you have a custom project in mind, give us a call for a solution!

It's not often that we get a picture of our magnetic signs in action, so I wanted to share this with you. Magnetics don't have to be boring and they definitely don't have to be white! These magnetics are printed on our uv-curing flatbed printer for excellent image quality and durability. These are made with high quality Magnum magnetic material and will provide years of service.

If you have a boat that needs to be professionally lettered, Typestries Marine Graphics can handle that, too! Surf on over to our lettering site at boatgraphics.com for ideas and information.

Did you know that all Coast Guard documented vessels are required to be lettered with at least a 4" name and hailport?

If you hate those ugly hardware store registration numbers, we can make a set of numbers that coordinates with your boat!

What a pleasure it is to see this job complete! Using images of your work on your vehicle is an effective way to communicate the level of workmanship that you provide. If you are thinking about taking the message your vehicle conveys to the next level, give us a call. And if you ever need corian, granite, or other solid surface materials, the folks over at Benchmark are experts in their field.

We don't often get to see our exhibit work once it leaves the shop for a show, so it was nice to see these two pieces in action bringing show attendees into our clients' booths. If you are planning on exhibiting at a tradeshow and need banners, signs or pop up displays, we'd be happy to help....
