The challenge
The festival's organizing team had three weeks to print: 30 vendor identification banners (each a different vendor), 40 wayfinding yard signs (parking, restrooms, stage, food court, exit), two stage backdrops, and a branded 10×10 tent.
Vendor branding came in three rounds across two weeks — most vendors confirmed art the week of the event. Tight, with no room for shipping delays.
What we made
We set up a private upload portal so each vendor sent art directly. Our preflight caught DPI issues on six of them; we fixed five in-house and emailed one back for a redo. All 30 banners ran on a single 13oz vinyl press batch the week of.
The 40 wayfinding yard signs all used a templated 18×24 layout with the festival branding locked. Stage backdrops used 18oz blockout to handle stage lighting without bleed-through. The 10×10 tent printed on dye-sub fabric with the canopy fully customized.
The outcome
Friday morning of festival weekend, the organizer picked up everything in one trip. Total spend was 60% of what the all-online quote came in at, and every banner and sign was usable on day-of without any reprints.
Year two is already booked — same template, expanded with directional A-frames at the parking lot.
“The preflight saved us. Three of our vendors sent art that would have printed pixelated. They caught it, fixed five files, and turned around the last one same-day.”
