It was lovely meeting with Innotech Digital this week, learning about the wide variety of materials used in sign making (everything from PVC banner materials to wall vinyls and vehicle graphic materials), and how these differences in material prove to be advantageous for different customers. It was interesting getting a look into Innotech's warehouse, seeing where all the different materials are stored, but also seeing the sheer volume in variety.

We would like to personally thank Kieran Dallow for taking the time to show both Melanie Attlesey and Cameron Beech around and explain Innotech's role in the sign making industry.
