our 3D department produces campaigns for major retailers which have been displayed in museums, galleries and other various locations around the world.

Pre-ProductioN

PRE-PRESS

when a designer releases art for production, our team of knowledgeable pre-press technicians run a series of operations to check and verify that the files are clear of any potential issues and are ready for print. The technician will then print out proofs, which are checked for size, content and position and sent to the client. It’s at this point, once approved, the plates are made and sent out to the presses.

SiTE-SURVEYS

we will send our team of installers to our client’s project site and perform a thorough survey, which includes measurements and photographs to determine any special needs to complete the project and create templates for client’s to drop artwork into or use as a design guide.
