The gang at StandOut Stickers have been dipping our toe into wall graphic and wall decal printing in recent months. We have shared a few images on our instagram of these products in production. While we do not yet offer them on our website, we have begun working with local businesses for wall graphic design and installation services under the name Rival Wraps.
Recently Rival Wraps had the unique opportunity to work with an area Ford dealership to do something special for their Roush Performance showroom.
Concept
Montrose Ford had a massive blank wall that was begging for something unique to help showcase their collection of Roush Performance vehicles. Roush Performance offers a line of premium performance-oriented Ford vehicles such as Raptors, Super Dutys, Mustangs and more.
Clocking in at 13 feet tall by 65 feet wide, this jumbo blank canvas was transformed with an industrial brick and steel beam look wall graphic featuring exciting photos of Roush vehicles in action.
Design
During the design phase, several concepts were tested, and finally it was decided that an industrial brick look was the one to go with. We would split the wall into sections using steel beam graphics and this would allow us to feature photographs of vehicles that use diffrent lighting and source quality, while still feeling as if they were part of a cohesive design. To add excitement, we created the graphic as if these vehicles were tearing out of a printed poster. We added smoke and dirt effects to give a bit of life to these static images.
A large part of the design phase was considering the logistics of such a large canvas. What DPI should the final artwork be? What kind of computer is needed to process such a massive design? When designing graphics for such a large surface, you usually assume that they will be viewed from a considerable distance, but this graphic would be right next to people, even on the door they pass through, inches away from eyes. Extreme care needed to be taken with resolution and image quality.
The plain white doorway was reimagined to look like a steel safe embedded in a brick wall. Flanked by logos and a menu of services. (the light switch was wrapped after this photo was taken to give a more seamless look)
During the design phase it was decided that the dealership logo and text around the doorway was the best anchor point to begin installation. In the process of setting up the panels for printing, the design was sliced in a way to facilitate installation anchored around the doorway.
Printing
The entire wall graphic was split into 16 unique panel files. Four inches of bleed was provided to account for any irregularities encountered during installation with 1/2 inch of overlap between panels.
Our wall graphic material is a highly textured vinyl with a stucco look. This adds organic appeal to the surface and helps to hide some irregularities or seams in the installation surface. This texture also adds some three dimensional depth to the printed wall graphic.
The massive wall graphic panel files were then printed on a wide format sticker printer, filling the roll of material as wide as it could go, and then printing over 13 feet of length per panel. Extra care was taken to make sure such a large printing job did not encounter any visual flaws. Ink levels were closely monitored as over 845 square feet of image area was printed in rich saturated colors.
The printed panels were rolled carefully and set inside the orignal material boxes awaiting the installation team.
Installation
How do you start installing a graphic this large? Our friends at Apex Sign Works took the lead on installation. With years of experience installing larger than life decals on everything from walls like this to semi trucks and more, they were ready to tackle the job which only took about 8-10 hours from start to finish.
Starting over the doorway, the wall graphic panels were then installed to the left and right. Each panel included one half inch of overlap to help the seamless look of the installation.
Extra care was even given to wrapping the inset doorway, with extra brick pattern wrapped into the threshold and a fully designed door graphic fashioned after an industrial metal safe.
The giant wall graphic installation was completed with precision in just one day. Using a scissor lift, the team carefully installed 17 panels that spanned from floor to ceiling. Taking extra care to align the large wall graphic panels for a seamless look was tricky, but in the end, it came look looking incredible!
If you are in the northern Ohio area and are interested in a truly outstanding custom wall graphic design and installation like this, contact us to get started.

We began our sticker journey with our original high quality vinyl glossy stickers. Years later, we added Matte stickers to our lineup and they were wildly popular. Now we present to you our exciting custom Glitter Stickers!
This new glitter sticker finish offers an ultra high gloss appearance with the inclusion of super fine, transparent metallic glitter. This is not a holographic foil effect, but instead real glitter flake similar to the finish you’ll find on automobiles and boats.
Like all of our custom sticker finishes, this glitter finish protects your vinyl stickers from fading, peeling and cracking or scratching. Our durable glitter stickers will shimmer and sparkle indoors and outdoors, rain or shine for years to come.
Our original glossy sticker finish is the choice for those looking for accurate color reproduction with rich, deep and vivid color appearance and a high-gloss shine.
Our matte sticker finish is for those looking for an upscale look. This low shine lustrous finish gives a high-end look to custom labels and logo stickers.
Our glitter finish is for anyone who wants to stand out! This new finish features an ultra glossy, wet-look surface with millions of super tiny transparent metallic glitter flakes that will flash and shine in the light and really get noticed. This finish may alter the appearance of solid colors a bit due to the way it reflects light and the base color of the silver metallic flake, however due to the high gloss nature of the finish, colors in your sticker design will look deep and vivid.
Take a look at our glitter sticker samples below or view all samples at the link. We prepared three colorways of the same sticker design to help you see how this glitter sticker finish reacts on different colors and textures.
Notice the sparkle across the glitter sticker design as a hard beam of light shines on its glossy surface. On the areas without direct light you can see the bright colors of the sticker design coming through with less visible glitter flakes.
The colorway above is done in our StandOut Stickers color scheme and you can see the glitter shining lightly across certain portions of the sticker design.
The black and white colorway above really shows how a flash of light really lights up the glitter in an exciting way.
There are many more sample photos on our website to help you get a better idea of what this sticker finish looks like at a variety of angles. That being said, it’s difficult to represent our glitter effect of this sticker finish in a single still photo. You really need to see it shimmer and shine for yourself!
Our glitter finish is available now as a premium upgrade on any of our custom stickers. To get started, simply order custom stickers of any size or shape and choose “Glitter” under the finish options.

Our matte stickers have to be seen! If you’re looking for something smooth and elegant, try our matte finish.
All of our custom vinyl stickers feature full color printing on weatherproof vinyl material. We laminate the printed stickers to provide extra thickness and protection from fading and scratches. This makes for durable custom stickers that are guaranteed to look great for years.
What does matte finish do for your custom sticker designs? While our glossy sticker finish reflects light as a bright shine and glare, our matte sticker finish takes light and creates a soft, satiny glow. This silky smooth sticker finish is perfect for logo stickers or product labels.
Below are some sample photos of matte stickers that show this satin matte glow. Our matte finish will slightly dull colors vs our glossy sticker finish, but the luxurious appearance is a great tradeoff.
The photo above features large matte sticker sheets for Meopta, an optical products company. The company is using our sticker sheets to easily apply matte product labels. Notice the soft glow in the center of the photo, showing how these satin matte stickers react to light.
This photo of easy peel stickers for Navitas Naturals features a predominately white background. The general colors and softness of the label is apparent in this photograph. Navitas Naturals may be using these custom matte vinyl stickers as product labels or packaging labels.
Finally, these die cut matte stickers were created to advertise our matte finish when we introduced it. In the photo we have propped up the die cut sticker material to reflect light and show how this matte laminate creates a silky, soft glow. This image truly represents the softness of the matte material.
You can’t go wrong with any of our custom sticker finishes, but our matte sticker finish is an excellent choice for brands looking for something unique and classy.
Matte stickers are easy to order. Simply order custom stickers and choose Matte from the finish options. We offer this matte finish at no additional charge!
