3M Commercial Graphics is taking advertising to new dimensions

"...they can be applied to virtually any surface, indoors or outdoors, for short or long term, helping to sell concepts in a big way."

When the RCMP decided to undergo an image change for The Musical Ride, in preparation for the new millennium, they looked to 3M Commercial Graphics for a solution. They wanted an attention-grabbing visual for one of their largest public relations and community policing assets to reflect their role as a national icon. With Scotchprint™ technology from 3M, they achieved that look with state of the art printing and high tech graphic materials on their fleet of trailers.

As companies strive to be on top in today's competitive market, they look to 3M Commercial Graphics for their innovative, visually stimulating designs. A variety of translucent, opaque, reflective, and polyester-reinforced vinyl materials can be imaged using traditional screen-printing and electronic cutting methods or the new digital printing technologies.

Consumers are walking all over advertising images as businesses apply one of the division's newest products, 3M Scotchprint® Graphics for Floors. These skid resistant graphics are easily applied to the surface of most floors to create brand awareness. The 3M Ink Jet Floor Graphics Kit 8566CP gives businesses superior image quality in an affordable application.

Signs are a vital image-building opportunity. From awnings and window graphics to large-format images on the side and rear panels of trucks or any moving vehicles, maximum impact can be created at a fraction of the cost of traditional forms of advertising. With the evolution of the Scotchprint® technology, first introduced in 1991, graphics to cover a standard semi-trailer truck can be produced in less than 20 minutes.

3M films can be custom-colour matched to ensure that finished signs are as unique and colourful as the original designs. And they can be applied to virtually any surface, indoors or outdoors, for short or long term, helping to sell concepts in a big way. There's no limit to the images that can be created with 3M Commercial Graphics products.
