If you are into mounting and laminating, you may still be missing out on a major profit center. Good reading, and good luck. They advertise Pepsi and a few other large, national brands, and are generally only found in a few places on a store's floor. For now, if YOU can overcome those problems, you'll be glad your competitors haven't. The matched component systems, such as those available from Transil-wrap, Seal and 3M, provide all the pieces needed to properly, safely do floor graphics.
Some companies go so far as to offer indemnity protection that lessens the liability risk.
Robert Patt, technical director of Digital Plus in Chicago, says floor graphics is a solid market for his firm, but still could grow significantly. Patt's firm creates the floor graphics using a Seal 6000 Ultra laminator and the 3M matched component system. Though using a warranted matched system like 3M's adds to the cost, Patt says it's worth the peace of mind. Floor graphics can be done with either electrostatic or inkjet systems. Sometimes, if the image is printed on an electrostatic printer, it is transferred to a self-adhesive vinyl.
