Specialty Design Services
Our Specialty Design Services cover items, such as canopies, pagodas, tension fabric displays, pop-up shops, and the like. These projects are larger in scale and scope, requiring us to work directly with the manufacturer’s design and engineer teams to ensure your product is just as you like it.
Crafting a bespoke display is not an overnight service. It’s not even a one week service.
For tents/canopies, pagodas and popup shops we require a minimum of two weeks of design time and anywhere from two to six weeks of production time after final proof approval as the absolute minimum. The production timelines can vary between not only products but the time of year you order. Winter tends to have the fastest, spring through summer months are longer.
For tension fabric displays, we require a minimum of 7 business days of design time and two to three weeks of production time after final proof approval as the absolute minimum.
From our experience,it is not only very difficult to fulfill these projects within smaller timelines, it is also needlessly stressful. We’ve tried it before and after the experience we have decided we will not engage a project that cannot accommodate these minimum timelines.
The Process
Contract Approval. For larger projects we will present a timeline of project milestones and a payment schedule. A down payment will be required to start the project and payment for outsourced printed items must be paid in full before they are sent into production. We are partners in this project - it is critical that you and your team are in agreement to the proposed timelines and payment schedules so we can successfully meet the delivery deadline.
Research / Brainstorm / Proofs. Depending upon the complexity of your project, allow a minimum of 5 business days for a designer to thoughtfully consider your project brief and create concepts for you to review
Proof Approval. If you select a proof and have no revisions or changes to apply, then the design process is complete. If you have changes, we will apply those changes and re-present. These changes are done at no additional charge, however the standard rate will apply to additional changes of a re-presented proof.
Production. Once artwork is approved, we’ll coordinate production of your items with the manufacturer. We’ll work with their graphics department or engineering team and present their production proof to you for review. If it all looks good, away it goes to production. If changes are needed, we will work with the team to implement your feedback and then re-present the revised proof to you. Any changes beyond that proof will generally incur additional design fees from the manufacturer and from Wild Beaver, so please review your first presented proof carefully and thoroughly.
Ballpark figures on design times for Trade Show, Pop Up Shop and other Display Items:
Banner Stands & Table Top Displays: 2 - 4 Hours
10ft x 10ft Displays: 4 - 6 Hours
10ft x 20ft Displays: 6 - 8 Hours
20ft x 20ft Displays: 8 - 10 Hours
These numbers can vary based on your preparation and what you’re looking for. Some variables that will impact the amount design time include:
Design Complexity
Amount of provided assets
Is there a style guide for your brand that we need to review?
Provided assets should be in vector file formats such as .ai or .eps. If you do not have Vector files, we will have to vectorize them, which increases production time
Do you have a clear idea of what you want or do we need to provide several different ideas to find the direction?
