Vancouver Mural Festival's Massive Parkade Ramp Wall Mural

One of our largest wall murals to date was installed at a parkade ramp wall in downtown Vancouver as part of the Vancouver Mural Festival. The stunning and alluring art was designed by Cas Nahui (IG: @casnahui) and commissioned by Westbank.

The graphics were printed on 3M premium vinyl with a luster laminate to alleviate the vibrant colors. Due to the sloping ramp with a lurking overhead at the end, our team had to take in the angle and varying heights into consideration during the pre-flight of the artwork.

Needless to say, our team did an excellent job predicting all the possible challenges we may face and split the length of the graphics into various sections. These sections were then lined up perfectly together during the 2-day install which resulted in the seamlessly panoramic piece that you see in the gallery and video below.

Office Graphics at BC Ministry of Children & Family Development

New Office Graphics at BC Ministry of Children & Family Development

The BC’s Ministry of Children & Family Development recently moved into a beautiful new office where they needed help with printing and installing a variety of custom graphics to spruce up their workspace.

The design involved scenic wallpaper to create statement walls that oozes calmness and positivity. Additionally, they wanted to create a unique privacy film that involved a subtle printed pattern on frosted vinyl that would help continue the theme of nature from their walls to the office windows, all while providing privacy.

Lastly, there were a few smaller pieces of signage needed in the form of wayfinding such as the room IDs and locker numbers. These were produced using multiple elements like Aluminum Composite Panels, write-erase vinyl, printed vinyl, tactile lettering, and brailling.

Behind the Scenes

To ensure design and color consistency across the different types of signage, we produced various samples for the client to review. While most of the samples were approved on the first try, the privacy film required a few tweaks to ensure the right balance of white is printed to give that subtle imagery while still providing enough privacy.

Scenic Wall Murals at Three Links Care Centre

Scenic Wall Murals at Three Links Care Centre

The Three Links Care Centre (TLCC) has been providing high-quality, affordable, and professional residential care and independent housing to seniors and older adults with special needs for more than 35 years. Their mission statement is to provide residents with safe, compassionate, and care housing that improves their quality of life. As part of their continuous efforts in improving their resident’s living experience, the team at TLCC approached Multigraphics to help them revitalize some of their interior spaces with beautiful landscapes of British Columbia.

The project consisted of 10 wall murals (approximately 140 feet x 7 feet of area) and a magnetic World Map. Spanning over 6 months (due to COVID delays), the project started with a vigorous search for the perfect images. Both, our team at Multigraphics, and the team at TLCC search through 100s of images on the web which were then analyzed to ensure they will retain their quality when printed at full scale. As we narrowed down the options to just a few images, a test print was done to verify the resolution and quality.

Once all the images and test prints were approved, we proceeded with printing the full job. In the meantime, we conducted a site check to plan and coordinate our installs with the team at TLCC. Since it is an occupied site, we had to abide by a certain set of limitations and work on one mural at a time. Thanks to the heavy workload upfront and careful planning, the install went smoothly. While both the client and we were delighted with the results, the biggest takeaway for us on this wonderful project was the joy it brought to the local residents who loved experiencing the many landscapes of BC from the comfort of their home.

Have a look below at some of the before and after shots, along with the completed pictures from this beautiful project.

From image selection to mockups to test prints, we went through a plethora of planning to ensure the final results align with TLCC’s vision and goals.

Massive Floor Graphics Project for a Tech Company

Days to Complete

Custom Floor Graphics for a New Office in Downtown Vancouver

We dove into 2021 with a massive order involving floor graphics for one of the largest tech companies in the world. The brand, which is moving into a new office in downtown Vancouver, will be leasing an entire building. Since the building had to undergo renovation, our client wanted to upgrade their hallways by adding a dimension to the existing concrete floors through custom printed patterns.

The floor space encompassed an area of almost 9000 square feet that spanned over nine floors. To ensure smooth sailing, our team conducted thorough pre-checks to predict possible challenges. These included various site visits, printing samples, and figuring out the assembly line for printing and paneling the enormous floor graphics.

We also had to work closely with 3M to ensure the media we use warranties a long life and withstand extreme foot traffic while being anti-slip. We produced samples on two different 3M vinyls with white and grey patterns. The client preferred grey over white and chose 3M IJ180 vinyl with 3M 3645 anti-slip laminate.

For the full prints, we decided to split the job per floor for efficiency. Each floor with its unique patterns will get printed for two days followed by another two days of installation (as we simultaneously print the next floor). Cumulatively, all nine floors took about three and half weeks to complete.

Despite the magnitude and challenges we faced, we are delighted with the results. All the stakeholders (client, designers, sales, prepress, production, and installers) did a spectacular job of planning, organizing, and executing the proposed solutions.

Behind the Scenes

One of the biggest challenges we faced was fitting the various panels onto the media while ensuring they flow seamlessly. While quite an unadorned problem on paper, it required an elaborate solution.

We first conducted multiple site checks to measure the site and compared it with the architectural drawings supplied.
Next, we re-scaled the supplied-artwork to match site measurements.
Then, we strategically paneled each pattern (manually) to make sure none of the panel breaks fall on the actual printed area.
Finally, we reversed engineer our custom panel breaks to re-create the full image and then compare it again with our site measurements to ensure accuracy.

We also faced challenges with lamination. Because the media was transparent, we had to ensure there were no dust particles under our prints or lamination. Our production team did a thorough 2-day cleaning of the entire shop floor, including waxing of the flooring to guarantee cleanliness before printing.

We even tweaked the pressure of our laminator to accommodate the media’s stretch factor. All in all, we printed about 18 rolls of media over 8-days – an effort that reflects in the final results.

Carbon60 Office Wall Mural and Decals

Carbon60 helps businesses to maximize the performance and security of their core application infrastructure on private and public clouds. Established in 1999 in Toronto as an infrastructure and security consulting company then evolved into a managed hosting service provider a few years later with a footprint in Toronto and Kelowna.

They recently joined forces with GT.net in Vancouver and as a result, required some environmental graphics to brand their office. The graphics consisted of wall murals and decals only. However, due to their location and obstacles on the wall, alignment and overlapping were one of the major challenges.

Our Work

Two wall murals at approximately 20ft x 11ft each
10 wall decals covering a two walls at approximately 30ft x 11ft
One cutout logo
One stand alone decal of a cube

The biggest challenge throughout the job was to align the individual decals such that they cover two walls precisely, while overlapping each other perfectly. We are very proud of the results and the carefully planned process by our sales, design, and installation team.

New Office Graphics at Ariix Vancouver

ARIIX is a global network marketing company that provides health, wellness, beauty, and weight-loss products and supplements. With over 10 locations around the world, they recently expanded into the Canadian market with their first office in Vancouver.

As a company that sets high quality standards for their own products, they expected nothing less for the graphics that were to be put up at their new office. With a simple, yet creative design, they wanted their brand color Gold (color) to be the highlight – from the diagonally-patterned wall decals to their 3D logo and letters.

Our Work

Various Avery Gold vinyl cut patterns, installed across 3 walls
Avery Gold vinyl cut letters
Eleven image frames
One 3D logo and letters (65″ x 15″)
Two full wall murals – one at 148″ x 102″ and the other at 174″ x 102″
Two frosted privacy window film with a cut out logo. Each at 72″ x 36″

We loved the bold design that goes against the norm. The gold really makes the wall pop and further instills Ariix’s high quality standards. Check out the finished result below.
