BUILDING WRAP ADVERTISING IN CHICAGO

In a progressive area, almost 100% of the time one will encounter a building wrap in one way or the other. Whether it be passing through some buildings or actually going into one, buildings will always be a stable structure. In the case of highly progressive areas such as in Chicago, a building is a physical structure that can mainly be used for office space, for commercial space purposes and sometimes even for residential purposes. With that said, the amount of human traffic is fairly enough to be considered in putting a communication tool such as an exterior building signage.

Here are some more tips to help you choose a better building wrap design

Building wraps are a very popular design product for small businesses. The side of their building could act as a large ad space that a lot of people will see. It is basically a large billboard with advertising space that the business owner has to pay only once.

Building Wraps Chicago

A kind of signage such as a building wrap would be a great way to convey a message and is widely used in advertising, marketing and the likes. A building wrap’s material can be vinyl (which is the most commonly used material), which can be stretched with ease and has a perfect finish in printing the necessary information the target audience needs to see. This is the reason why there is quite a large number of building vinyl wrap because they truly understand the importance of the use of this effective communication tool and therefore it is present all over the place.

Though it is a proven effective tool, building wraps should still be placed in strategic areas. Factors to be considered may include the following: human traffic concentration and vehicle traffic concentration, among others. Though a building wrap could be produced in such a way that its message is ensured to be conveyed through various ways (i.e. large fonts, attractive shapes or colors, logo/shape blending), if it is not placed in an area where the target audience usually passes by, it actually does not serve its purpose and is therefore regarded as a failure.

Nevertheless, a building wrap is a proven option for large format advertising and should be considered by those who would be requiring such advertising in their future endeavors.  After all, buildings are stable structures that will always be there and they deserve to be used for marketing in large format advertising by way of exterior building signage or building wraps. They can visibly be seen (provided the key items for placement are performed well), during the day and even at night.

Building Wrap Preparation & Installation

Concrete, Masonry and Tile. The surface should be entirely dust free: high pressure TSP/water wash is the easiest method. The surface must be sealed with a complete coat of paint or concrete sealer and allowed to dry. If the surface is not sealed there must be no loose paint, grit or chalk present. All surfaces must be completely dry allowing 48 hours from surface cleaning or sealing, or 1 week from painting.
Sealing porous surfaces creates three benefits:

• Moisture cannot wick to the adhesive surface from within the matrix of the wall.
• Dust, due to ablation, cannot develop under the vinyl.
• Removal steps are much easier as the adhesive will remove more cleanly, and if any adhesive remains, the surface will

be cleaned of residue more easily. The surface temperature must be above 50°F. To assure highest adhesion the graphics will benefit from a final installation pass using a soft roller and heat source in combination. The film should be heated to a point of softening. Wait until the vinyl becomes “tack-free” and then roll the film tightly into the texture of the wall.

REMOVAL

Addition of heat during removal will make the process much cleaner and faster. Where possible allow the surface to reach 80°F/27°C or more before removing the film. Where ambient temperature is not that high use either a very “soft” flame type torch or heat gun to bring the temperature up. Arlon recommends getting the film and under laying adhesive above 100°F/38°C. Remove the film in a continuous smooth motion at a shallow angle for the fastest separation. Where it is practical, two people on the removal make the job go far faster than using just one. With one person working the heating unit in front of the second person who is peeling film, the job proceeds at a uniform and consistent pace. Where only one person is working there will be constant starting and stopping in addition to the problems of the heat being very inconsistent.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Because of the porous nature of all masonry and its general roughness we expect water, snow or ice to seep between the film and wall and collect on the upper edges of the applied graphic. For this reason applications to very rough surfaces do not carry the standard warranties. Those regions where extreme temperatures are experienced (freeze/thaw cycles); The warranty is reduced by 50%. Standard warranty applies to vertical applications only. Vertical is defined as +/- 10° from the vertical. Non-vertical applications are not warranted for this product.
