Whether MWR promotional needs involve indoor or outdoor venues, the use of custom, digitally printed tents could help your events stand out in what is often a sea of white tents.
Custom-printed tents are a great choice for making a bold presentation, according to Hal Lapping, president of Economy Tent International.
"From full-coverage, full-color printing to a simple logo, there is really no limit to what can be printed," he said. "With the use of today's wide-format, photo-realistic digital printers, creating an attention-grabbing tent is easily within reach."
Digitally printed tents are powerful, high-impact communication tools for MWR directors to utilize. "Our printed tents are highly durable and scratch resistant," Lapping noted. "We have printed simple to complex graphic images on every style and size tent we manufacture. We have even printed underneath tent covers for an added effect."
Tent manufacturers and material suppliers offer a variety of choices for printing on a tent. "Vinyl-coated or laminated materials are the most suitable and affordable for digital printing," Lapping said. "All of our printed covers are coated with lacquer to resist fading and increase their durability."
The digital printing method uses solvent inks, which are rated up to three years outdoors and stand up to the elements, plus they adhere very well to vinyl. Another ink option is eco-solvent or UV- curable inks that are environment friendly because they are low in toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Tent covers are not the only items that can be printed. "Printed sidewalls are an attractive option because they have a large area and simple installation," Lapping pointed out. "We have also used large printed banners over the tent because of their high visibility."
He added that Economy Tent provides tents in a multitude of sizes and styles that are suitable for custom printing. "Our tents and frames are engineered for their ease in putting up and taking down, making them an affordable marketing solution, as well as an engaging addition to your branding efforts."
