Does DG Creativ have a walk-in shop in Stow?

No. DG Creativ is based in Stow and the work happens on site. Measurement and installation are done at the customer's location, and quotes and proofs run by phone and email.

Can you install graphics printed by another supplier?

Yes. Installation and project management is offered on its own, including on graphics printed elsewhere. Sending the specification before printing avoids most install problems, which usually come from material choices made earlier.

How long does a wall graphic last on cinder block or brick?

Years, when the correct high-grip film is used. Standard wall vinyl applied to a textured surface can lift within a season. The determining factors are whether the adhesive was made to bond to texture and whether the wall was clean, dry and fully cured at the time of installation.

What surfaces need extra time before graphics can be installed?

Freshly painted walls need roughly three to four weeks for the paint to cure before adhesive graphics go over it. Film also needs a surface temperature of roughly 60 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit to lay down properly, which limits exterior work in winter.

Sign Company in Stow, Ohio | Signs, Wall Graphics & Wraps

DG Creativ is based in Stow. Signs, wall graphics, banners, window film and vehicle graphics are designed, produced and installed from here, for customers in Stow and across Summit County.

The part that goes wrong is rarely the printing

A banner prints in three days. A 60-foot mural on a cinder-block wall in a working weight room does not, and that is where most jobs come apart. Film needs a surface between roughly 60 and 90°F to lay down properly. Fresh paint needs three to four weeks to finish curing before anything adhesive goes over it. A block wall needs a high-grip adhesive film made for texture, not standard wall vinyl, or it bubbles and lifts within a season.

None of that shows up on an online order form. It shows up six months later, when the graphic is peeling at the corners. We measure the wall, specify the material for the surface it is actually going on, and install it.

Work we have done in Stow

Stow-Munroe Falls High School Field House

Full design, production and installation throughout the new Field House:

An entrance showcase wall with the Stow Bulldogs logo printed on clear acrylic, mounted over a wall wrap.
Over 1,200 square feet of 18 oz. vinyl banners and wall graphics in the multipurpose room, across five banner areas, including two 9-foot Bulldog logos and lettering over 35 feet long and 9 feet high.
A weight room mural 12 feet high and 60 feet wide, printed on high-grip vinyl made for textured surfaces so it bonds to block without bubbling or peeling.

The oversized graphics were printed on specialty adhesive film designed to bond to cinder block and brick. Read the full Field House write-up.

City of Stow

Ongoing municipal work across the parks, City Hall and the streetscape:

A 12ft x 15ft 3D chalk-art illusion graphic applied directly to the sidewalk at SKiP Park, on slip-resistant high-tack exterior material engineered to conform to rough concrete and hold color under heavy foot traffic.
Exterior door graphics for the SKiP Park facility restrooms, on high-durability wraps built for public foot traffic and outdoor weathering.
Frosted window film at City Hall, printed with layered white ink so the City of Stow logo reads as though it is etched into the glass.
Double-sided street pole banners on wind-vented blockout vinyl with reinforced stitching, plus community event yard signage.

How a Stow job runs

Measure. We come and measure the actual wall, window, floor or vehicle. On-site measurement across Northeast Ohio is free. Surface type decides the material, and the material decides the price.
Proof. You approve artwork at size, with the substrate and finish named on the proof.
Schedule around the surface. New construction and freshly painted walls need cure time. Exterior work needs a temperature window. We will tell you if the date you want is the wrong date.
Install. Done by us, not handed to you in a tube.

Common questions

Do you have a shop in Stow I can walk into?
No walk-in showroom. DG Creativ is based in Stow and the work happens on site — we come to you, measure, and install. Quotes and proofs run by phone and email.

Can you install graphics we bought somewhere else?
Yes. Installation and project management is offered on its own, including graphics printed by another supplier. It is worth sending the spec before it is printed, because most install problems are material choices made earlier.

How long does a wall graphic last on block or brick?
Years, when it is the right film. Standard wall vinyl on a textured surface can lift within a season. The variable is not the print, it is whether the adhesive was made to bond to texture and whether the wall was clean, dry and cured when it went on.

Do you work for schools and the city?
Yes. Stow-Munroe Falls High School and the City of Stow are both shown above, and we work with school districts and municipalities across Summit, Cuyahoga, Portage, Medina and Stark counties.

Service area

Stow, Munroe Falls, Silver Lake, Cuyahoga Falls, Hudson, Twinsburg, Macedonia, Tallmadge, Kent and Akron, and out across Summit, Cuyahoga, Portage, Medina and Stark counties.
