We have over 30 years of trade show experience - over half of that actually exhibiting at large shows in the broadcasting and physical security industries. We know what it takes to set up, tear down and still make that flight back home. Santa Barbara Signs & Graphics prints, laminates, mounts, cuts, assembles, and installs all types of trade show graphics and signs, including vinyl banners (mesh or opaque), flexible prints, rigid mounted prints and cut and/or digitally printed self-adhesive vinyl.

We also print, laminate and fabricate digitally printed signs (like the Pro Garden Supply sign below.) We are California C45 licensed for all types of sign installation, including electrical signs. As a reminder, all building improvement projects totalling over $500 must be installed by a California-licensed contractor (interior or exterior - unless you are allowed to install the sign yourself) and an unlicensed sign seller can not legally subcontract to a licensed contractor.

We print everything on the Canon as though it was for photorealistic fine art reproduction! We drive the Canon printer with our custom ICC profiles on our Onyx Postershop X10 Postscript 3 RIP, which takes full advantage of the extremely wide color gamut offered through the addition of red, green and blue inks. The iPF9000 handles media up to 60 inches wide by 30 feet long, and prints directly on semi gloss paper, polyester film, and backlit film materials.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (2004-2013) and the Goleta Lemon Festival, along with many other business event sponsors, depend on Santa Barbara Signs & Graphics for their soft signage and hard signage. When the Granada Theatre held its grand re-opening celebration, they chose Santa Barbara Signs & Graphics for their non-slip dance floor graphics, donor acknowledgement panels on wallpaper (in the frames below), and temporary major donor panels.

read moreWe cut vinyl on a 51 inch wide plotter, allowing large graphics without seams (subject to roll widths). Most vinyl comes in 15, 24 or 30 inch wide rolls depending on the vinyl type. We stock many standard colors of vinyl and can special order other colors and sizes. Vinyl is not, however, available in an infinite variety of colors, but typically comes in several shades of each color. We'll be happy to show you the colors we stock and are able to order, and can provide you with the approximate vinyl color references to Pantone colors.

read moreMenus must be attractive, yet effective, whether for ordering a meal or ordering a service. Although there are "off the shelf" menu solutions available, custom menus from Santa Barbara Signs & Graphics often cost less than pre-made menu systems and provide much more flexibility to our clients. The simplest menus are self-adhesive vinyl installed on rigid PVC or painted MDO boards. For full color menus we offer two process choices, depending on the application and desired color range. This menu (Blenders) is printed on solvent-printed self-adhesive vinyl with a matte textured non-glare overlaminate.
