Steve Tveter, of S. Himmelstein and Company, recently asked us to develop a graphic solution for their tradeshow display. Utilizing our talented staff and in-house capabilities, we created the initial concept sketches, received client approval, and then printed, laminated and mounted finished graphics in 5 days.
