Custom wall graphics make the whole environment inviting for both customers and your team. You can also use them to communicate your brand identity, mission, and vision to everyone who walks into your office.
What Are Wall Graphics?
Wall graphics are a type of wall decoration that allows you to display any design you like. They are typically made of an adhesive-backed vinyl material that you can easily apply to a wall. The adhesive is strong enough to stick to your wall for up to a year but won’t leave any residue or damage your wall when you want to peel them off. So, you can think of wall graphics as large stickers for a wall.
Now, you can find a variety of wall graphics on the market. Here are a few qualities that can help you differentiate a high-quality wall graphic from the rest:
- Smooth texture (like a painted wall)
- High resolution
- Accurate and vibrant colours
- Scratch resistance
- Water resistance
- UV resistance
- Easy to clean (you want one that you can simply wipe to remove dirt)
- Durable enough to last for at least two years
Why Use Custom Wall Graphics in an Office Space?
Although you can, using unoriginal or generic graphics in your office space is not a good idea. This is because generic graphics are just that, generic. Using them will tell customers or your team nothing about your brand and can make your space appear uninspired and uninviting, and it may even create a sense of disconnection between your brand, team, and visitors.
That is why we highly recommend custom designs and graphics to personalise your office space. You can even try some custom vinyl wall lettering! This kind of personalization can benefit your business activity in numerous ways:
- Increase team productivity: Eye-pleasing and artistic wall decor can improve morale and productivity. It helps release more dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and motivation. As a result, your team will feel more creative and find it easier to focus.
- Boost sense of company loyalty: There’s a reason Google, Slack, and Uber have lots of wall graphics in their workspaces that use brand colours and slogans that reinforce brand feel. It helps their teams stay connected with the company and the mission they are collectively working on. Plus, custom wall graphics such as mission statements can create a premium and uplifting atmosphere, instilling a feeling of loyalty in employees.
- Save money: Custom wall graphics are a cost-effective solution for office decoration. They are much more affordable than expensive artwork and furniture.
Plus, you can create a lasting impression on your visitors by incorporating your logo and slogan into if your custom wall graphics. They will serve as a visual shortcut to your business, and customers will remember your company’s name whenever they require your services. When used in this way, custom wall graphics even help you secure more business opportunities.
How to Create Custom Wall Graphics
Creating custom wall graphics is quite an easy process if you follow these steps:
- Create a design: With graphic design software like Adobe Spark, creating a design is super easy. But if you are not an experienced designer or simply need access to these tools, you can use a service like Canva or Graphic. These free online tools have libraries with pre-made templates and elements to browse, edit and download. Of course, you can also hire a designer or opt for a printing service that offers design improvisation as a part of their package.
- Pick a reliable printing service: We recommend starting your research online. This allows you to find a company that specializes in custom printing. Of course, a Google search will generate a whole bunch of companies. Shortlist them depending on their reviews, range of printing options and cost. It’s also a good idea to contact the company, assess their customer support, and discuss your specific needs on call. If you want someone that offers free delivery, consider Sticker it!
- Choose a material: Browse the sticker printing materials offered by your chosen company and select a material that fits your needs. Wall vinyl is often advertised as such, but if not, we recommend opting for thick, fabric-like vinyl. It offers a premium, classy look with over two years of durability and is easy to clean.
- Choose the size and shape: It might seem obvious, but for the best result, measuring the space where you intend to place the graphic in your office is essential. This will ensure that you pick a size that actually fits your space. Remember, the size of your graphic determines its cost, which is vital to keep in mind. When you order custom wall graphics, you can create any shape you want, so you can let your creativity run free. Circle stickers will give you superior adherence, while rectangles offer the most space, but of course, nothing is a memorable as a custom shape.
- Submit your design: Lastly, all you have to do is submit your design to your company of choice. If that’s us, we’ll have our in-house artists make your design print-ready and send you a digital design proof before printing. We will also go over the final design with you before printing it.
That’s it–you’ve just ordered a custom wall graphic for your office!
