In today’s digital world, wide and grand format printing has become a game changer for modern brands looking to stand out in the real world.

What is Wide & Grand Format Printing?

Wide format printing refers to processes that produce graphics wider than traditional print (about 18 to 100 inches). Grand format pushes even further—often several meters across—unlocking outsized opportunities for splashy campaigns, large-scale displays, vehicle wraps, and more. At Dumont Printing, our specialized wide and grand format division translates your creative ambitions into eye-catching realities, from durable outdoor signage to memorable event installations.

Innovative Applications of Wide & Grand Format Printing

Retail Storefronts and Interior Environments

The average consumer is bombarded with thousands of messages daily. We help brands rise above the clutter by transforming retail spaces with window graphics, custom point-of-purchase (POP) signage, and immersive wall murals. It’s not just about decoration—it’s about shaping customer journeys, directing traffic, and reinforcing brand identity from the curb to the checkout counter.

  • Window wraps can turn plain glass into a branded canvas.
  • POP displays put products and offers in the spotlight.
  • Wayfinding signage enhances flow and elevates customer experience.

Tradeshows & Experiential Events

First impressions matter, especially at industry events, expos, and product launches. Grand format printing empowers us to create impactful booth graphics, branded backdrops, and floor-to-ceiling displays that can be seen from across the hall. The result? Brands that command attention, invite engagement, and leave a lasting impression.

  • Backlit displays and hanging structures draw the eye, even in crowded venues.
  • Seamless wall, floor, or fabric graphics ensure your message is never lost in the shuffle.

Vehicle Wraps & Fleet Branding

Why limit your marketing to stationary signs? Wide format vehicle wraps transform fleets into moving billboards, generating thousands of daily impressions wherever they go. At Dumont Printing, we produce seamless, high-resolution graphics durable enough to withstand the elements—and the road.

Outdoor Advertising: Billboards & Building Wraps

Nothing says “look at me” like a billboard or architectural wrap spanning an entire building side. With broad material and finishing options, Dumont Printing delivers weatherproof, UV-resistant graphics engineered for both short promotions and long-term installations. Whether you’re making a splash during a city event or rebranding your headquarters, scale and impact are our specialty.

  • Massive banners catch eyes from blocks away.
  • Custom materials maximize vibrancy, longevity, and sustainability.

Custom Interior Decor & Environmental Branding

Beyond retail, businesses are increasingly using wide format graphics for interior decor. Offices, hospitals, restaurants, and hotels leverage branded wallcoverings, window films, and customized décor to enhance ambiance and reinforce values—turning every wall or partition into a storytelling opportunity.

  • Custom wallpaper can showcase art, photography, or mission statements.
  • Privacy films add style while offering subtle branding.

Materials & Techniques: Expanding the Canvas for Creativity

Recent advances in printing technology are redefining what’s possible. We’re not limited to paper and vinyl anymore; at Dumont Printing, we regularly print on textiles, metal, wood, acrylic, and specialized films. This flexibility allows us to create unique, context-aware solutions tailored to your branding and marketing needs.

  • Diverse Media: Need a non-glare, eco-friendly fabric for an indoor display? Or a metallic finish for maximum impact? We can source and print on a wide variety of materials.
  • Specialty Inks and Coatings: We utilize advanced UV-curable and eco-solvent inks, ensuring durability and environmental responsibility.
  • Finishing Touches: From lamination and die-cutting to grommets and hardware, we manage every detail for installation-ready solutions.

Success in Action: Real-World Impact

One recent project highlights the power of grand format printing in action. A regional restaurant chain approached Dumont Printing to refresh their brand message and capitalize on a seasonal promotion. Their challenges were outdated signage and inconsistent branding across multiple locations.

  • We designed and installed oversized window wraps and floor-to-ceiling wall graphics at each franchise location.
  • Incorporating vibrant seasonal themes and interactive elements (like QR codes), the campaign unified the look across all branches.
  • The payoff: within eight weeks, foot traffic more than doubled and promotional offers were redeemed at a much higher rate, confirming that bold, consistent visuals can truly drive business.

Where the Industry is Going: Trends Shaping Wide & Grand Format Printing

  • Sustainability: As expectations rise, we continually source new sustainable substrates—everything from recycled boards to fabrics. Our eco-friendly inks and recycling initiatives help brands minimize their environmental footprint without compromising quality.
  • Digital Integration: The future is interactive—think QR codes, NFC tags, augmented reality, and data-driven graphics. These bridges between print and digital deliver richer engagement and actionable metrics for brands.
  • Personalization: Variable data printing allows for hyper-localized signage and unique messaging; perfect for franchises, events, or targeted promotions.
  • Materials Innovation: Advances in printhead and material technology open new doors—from glass and brushed aluminum finishes to lightweight, portable display textiles.
