Car Dealership,
Grocie Store,
Sign shop.

they created a signshop to print their own chit. Now they do it nationally. But that's hardly where most revenue comes from for them.

Largest shop

So who would be the largest wide format shop doing strictly print for pay - not wholesale and not sign fabrication/electrical?

 

[Pat Whatley]

Gregory?

 

[sar bossier]

I would guess Lamar, but I heard (??) they outsource the printing ?

 

[National Sign Co. - Print]

Circle Graphics.

They are the Worlds Largest Grand Format printer.
15 million s/f of billboard every month. They Print for Lamar and basically hold the largest market share for Billboard print and outdoor in the US...

55+ 16 foot Machines... running 24/7.

A truly amazing company.

They are all printed by Circle on there Eco FLexx Material which is a recyclable, Biodegradable PE banner. I know a bunch get post processed and serve as industrial tarps, others get made into bags and such.

some company in texas prints most of walmarts crap

 

[dejoh]

I used to work for Lamar in Pensacola Fla. in the 70's All hand painted pictorials and lettering. Ah, the good ole days. They were not as big in those days. Did lots of Coppertone boards up and down the gulf coast.

 

[Jim Doggett]

I'd say Young Electric Sign Co here in Utah

Indeed. Yesco by a mile.

 

[supersignmart]

Wal mart has a couple of hp fb950 printers that they do some stuff on but I believe they outsource the main part of it.

@onthego signguy

mountain graphics in houston does all of walmart's stuff, and shell, and too many other giant accounts to list. my girlfriend's dad is the foreman of the shop (factory). it's nuts to see the material they go through in a month. pallets and crates and more pallets by the hundreds stacked everywhere just too keep up with the amount of square footage they do. i'll be having a beer with the foreman and he'll mention a new account here and there... contracts in the tens of millions of dollars. insane. he's about the coolest guy a graphics guy could have as a quasi-father-in-law.
