That’s why we’re proud to share that we’re now officially certified as a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company and a PDAA Master Certified Installer.

What It Takes to Earn These Certifications
Getting certified isn’t a quick online course or a simple checklist. These are performance-based, hands-on evaluations that test real-world knowledge, not just theory.
To become a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company, our team was evaluated on our skills applying a range of films on walls, windows, floors, and vehicles. From alignment to adhesion, every detail matters. This certification is only granted to companies that consistently demonstrate best-in-class application techniques, project coordination, and on-site problem solving.
Our PDAA Master Certification—granted through the Printing United Alliance—required further testing to validate our expertise across a wide variety of surfaces, conditions, and materials. PDAA certification is widely recognized across North America and signals to national brands that we’re equipped to handle high-stakes, large-scale rollouts as well as detailed custom jobs.
