— Event Print Has No Safety Net
Your Event Has One Shot To Make An Impression. Your Print Partner Needs To Know That.
Event graphics are not forgiving. Timelines are fixed, venues are uncompromising, and when the doors open, every banner, backdrop, and activation display is either right or it isn’t. There is no second chance to reprint the centrepiece backdrop an hour before the VIP launch.
TK Graphics has been producing large format event graphics in Canada for over 30 years. We understand what event production actually demands — precise colour matching, materials that install fast and hold up under real-world conditions, and a team that communicates clearly when your timeline is tight. We print what the brand deck requires and we deliver it when the schedule demands.

What We Produce for Events & Activations
From single backdrop prints to full multi-zone activation environments.
Step & Repeat Backdrops
Step & repeat backdrops are branded photo walls used for press areas, VIP zones, and event activations to create consistent logo repetition and strong brand visibility in photos. They’re made from vinyl or fabric, produced up to 16 feet wide seamless, and installed using grommeted or SEG frame systems.
Event Banners & Vertical Displays
Event banners and vertical displays are hanging and freestanding signage systems used for indoor and outdoor events to support branding, wayfinding, and promotional messaging. They’re made from polyester fabric, vinyl, or mesh, with multiple frame and finish options and indoor or outdoor-rated material choices.
Pop-Up Activation Graphics
Pop-up activation graphics are modular branded display systems used for temporary retail spaces, kiosks, and experiential marketing installations. They’re made from adhesive vinyl, rigid board, or SEG fabric, and are designed for fast installation and clean removal.
Festival & Outdoor Signage
Festival and outdoor signage are durable printed systems used for public events, festivals, and activations to support branding, direction, and audience navigation. They’re made from scrim vinyl, mesh, or coroplast, feature UV-resistant inks, and include wind-load rated material options.
Trade Show Displays
Trade show displays are portable branded systems used for exhibition booths, including backwalls, counters, and tabletop graphics for professional presentation environments. They’re made from SEG fabric or direct-print vinyl, are frame-compatible and reusable, and designed to be lightweight and travel-ready.
Entrance & Wayfinding Graphics
Entrance and wayfinding graphics are temporary signage systems used to guide guests through event spaces and multi-zone activations with clear directional and entry messaging. They’re made from anti-slip vinyl, foamcore, or coroplast, with options for temporary installation.
Branded Booth & Kiosk Wraps
Branded booth and kiosk wraps are vinyl-based coverings used to transform modular structures, kiosks, and event booths into fully branded environments. They’re made from cast or calendered vinyl, installed professionally in-house, and designed for surface-safe removal without damage.
Photo Opportunity Installations
Photo opportunity installations are custom-built branded structures and props used to create engaging photo moments at events and experiential activations. They’re made from foamcore, PVC board, or fabric, available in custom shapes and sizes, and designed as freestanding or wall-mounted displays.

— Why Choose TK Graphics
Why Event Producers Choose TK Graphics
Four things that matter when a deadline is non-negotiable and the brand is on display.
Prints Up to 16 Feet Wide — No Joins, No Seams
Most event print suppliers piece together large backdrops from multiple sections. TK Graphics prints up to 16 feet in a single seamless piece — no join lines, no colour banding, no visible seams at the photo wall. The output looks as polished in person as it does in the brand deck.
Precise Colour Matching — Brand-Accurate Every Time
As a 3M Gold Select Graphics Provider, TK Graphics operates to certified colour standards. We match brand colours precisely and offer close alternatives when necessary — so what goes on the press is what shows up in the photo. Every time.
Built for Event Timelines — Fast Turnaround Without Shortcuts
We run parallel production across multiple machines, which means rigid signage and fabric displays can be produced simultaneously. Event schedules do not wait, and neither do we. Rush options are available — contact us with your deadline and we will tell you what is possible.
One Team from File to Install
TK Graphics handles prepress, production, and installation under one roof. You submit your files, we handle the rest — including on-site installation when required. No production handoffs, no miscommunication between suppliers, no surprises on setup day.

Event Projects We're Proud Of
Two of TK Graphics’ strongest event production references — both in Canada, both at scale.
Events & Activations
Gundam Base World Tour — Metropolis at Metrotown, Burnaby BC
When the Gundam Base World Tour landed in BC, TK Graphics produced the full event graphic suite for the pop-up activation at BC’s largest shopping centre. From the entrance installation through to in-store display graphics, every piece was colour-matched, printed at scale, and installed on deadline. The result was an immersive brand environment that drove social sharing and foot traffic throughout the activation run.

— Production Workflow
How an Event Print Project Works at TK Graphics
Five steps built around your event schedule — from first scope to final install.
Request a Quote
Tell us your event date, the products you need, quantities, and any brand guidelines. Unsure what you need? We will guide you. Use the quote form or call (604) 575-1812.
File Review & Prepress
Once your artwork is submitted, our prepress team reviews for resolution, colour profile, bleed, and safe zones. We flag issues before production begins — not after.
Production
Your job enters production. Rigid and fabric pieces run simultaneously — complex multi-product orders do not create sequential delays.
Quality Check
Before anything leaves our facility, every piece goes through a quality review — colour accuracy, finish quality, and dimensional accuracy against your specifications.
Delivery or Installation
We ship directly to your venue or coordinate on-site installation. For larger activations, we schedule pre-event installation visits to ensure everything is in place before doors open.
Post-Event
Reusable graphics get care advice for future activations. Through our coroplast recycling program, we handle responsible disposal of signage materials at end of life.
— Common Questions
Real Estate & Construction Print — FAQ
How quickly can TK Graphics turn around event graphics?
Turnaround depends on the product type, quantity, and complexity of your order. Standard turnaround for most event banners and fabric displays is 3–5 business days. For rush orders, contact us directly at (604) 575-1812 with your event date and we will confirm what is achievable. We run parallel production across multiple machines, which means complex multi-product orders can often be turned around faster than you might expect.
What file formats do you accept for event print production?
We accept PDF, AI, EPS, PSD, and TIFF files. For large format print, files should be supplied at a minimum of 100 DPI at final print size, with 3mm bleed on all edges and key content kept within the safe zone. If you are unsure whether your files are print-ready, submit them through our quote form and our prepress team will review them before production begins. See our File Prep guide →
Can TK Graphics print and install on-site at the event venue?
Yes. TK Graphics offers on-site installation for larger activations and multi-piece setups. We coordinate directly with venue operations teams and event producers to schedule installation visits that fit within the event build window. Contact us with your venue details and build schedule and we will advise on the best installation approach.
What is the maximum size you can print without seams?
TK Graphics prints up to 16 feet wide in a single seamless piece — no joins, no seams, no visible colour banding. For pieces wider than 16 feet, we can produce matched panels designed to align precisely at the seam. We will advise on the best approach for your specific installation.
Can event graphics be reused for future activations?
Many of the products we produce — including SEG fabric displays, retractable banners, and tension fabric backdrops — are designed for repeated use. Durability depends on the material specified and the storage conditions between events. If reusability is a priority for your project, let us know at the quote stage and we will recommend the most suitable materials and finish options.
Do you offer eco-friendly options for event print materials?
Yes. TK Graphics is committed to sustainable print production. We offer eco-friendly ink and material options for a range of products, and we operate a coroplast recycling program in partnership with West Coast Plastic Recycling — meaning coroplast event signs can be returned to us for responsible disposal rather than landfill. Ask about eco options when you request your quote.
