Large Format Printing for Set Dressing & Scenics
Set dressing is the key to transforming any ordinary location or blank studio build instantly, bringing the director’s vision to life with uncompromising detail. At Print Met Erika, we understand that Production Designers and Art Directors are tasked with the immense challenge of building entirely new worlds on a tight schedule. From rendering gritty, vibrant urban street scenes to designing ultra-modern corporate office window frosting, we provide scalable, high-quality large-format printing solutions tailored explicitly for the film, television, and commercial industries. Using highly durable eco-solvent media, our scenic prints are completely water-resistant and incredibly robust. This makes them perfectly suited not only for highly controlled interior studio environments but also for demanding exterior locations that must withstand the unpredictable wind, rain, and intense sun of the Western Cape.
What We Produce:
Custom Wall Wraps & Murals: Seamless vinyl graphics to instantly age a room, fake a brick wall, or create a specific interior aesthetic.
Window Signage & Frosted Vinyl: Faux storefront branding, privacy frosting for office sets, and detailed glass decals.
Street Signage & Wayfinding: Authentic-looking faux street signs, warning labels, and basecamp directional signage.
Large Format & Banners: Pull-up banners, massive PVC backdrops, and promotional posters for set dressing.
The Running Meter Advantage:
Creating immersive scenics often requires a massive, unpredictable variety of distinct visual elements. Traditional print shops typically force customers into rigid minimum order quantities or charge flat rates per design, which can rapidly exhaust an art department’s budget when dozens of unique, small items are needed. At Print Met Erika, we have revolutionised this process for the film industry. Because we print and sell strictly by the running meter, you can strategically maximise your material usage without arbitrary financial penalties.
This means your graphics coordinator can seamlessly gang up a diverse mix of assets onto a single continuous roll of vinyl. You can print two large window decals, multiple distinct faux street signs, a custom calligraphy mural segment, and handfuls of tiny background stickers all in one efficient run. This unique approach keeps your production workflow incredibly efficient, dramatically reduces material waste, and ensures your set dressing remains cost-effective, allowing you to put more value exactly where it belongs—on the screen.
