Process and materials is an amazing class. Leslie arranges some of the most exciting field trips I have had the privilege of going on. This was another one of those mindblowing “Chattanooga does what?!” moments.
National Print Group has the WORLD’S LARGEST eight colour printer. Seriously! This printer has its own team of German specialists. And it is huge by the way, like as big as my house huge.
Since they do have the largest eight colour printer in the world, it would also make sense that they are the largest screen, litho, digital, large format point of purchase, and Out-of-Home (outdoor signs like billboards, taxi tops) printer in the world.
If you have ever seen the building wraps in Las Vegas, those are there thanks to NPG!
They work for a variety of clients, finding creative solutions for point of purchase stands. They make them simple and very very easy to put together. (we were told that simple to put together was a crucial point in the point of purchase actually being used… they said that if it was not, many companies would just throw them away!)
This was another very informative and fascinating tour. Just seeing the world’s largest printer would have been enough for me, but NPG was kind enough to let us walk around their facilities.
We also found out they have so much shipping business, that at around Christmas, mail trucks line up outside their doors for miles.
National Print Group was amazing, and though you probably are not like to need a building wrap, if you need a point of purchase, or even something smaller, check them out.
