Custom graphics manufacturer · Artesia, California
Custom Decals, Labels and Vehicle Graphics, Manufactured in California Since 1948
Airmark Co. manufactures printed graphics that have to survive something. Highway speeds and ten years of sun. Solvents on a factory floor. A machine operator's thumb on the same button fifty thousand times.
CenCal Fire & EMS Authority · Ambulance graphics, passenger side
We have been doing it from the same Southern California plant since 1948, when our first decals went onto aircraft for Lockheed, Douglas, Boeing and Northrop.
Today we produce decals, labels, signs, graphic overlays, banners and full vehicle wraps for fleets, manufacturers, municipalities and emergency services nationwide — from a single prototype to long production runs, with design, proofing, prototyping, manufacturing and installation handled under one roof.
Built to a specification, not a catalog
Most graphics suppliers sell from a list. We start with your application. Tell us the surface, the environment, the expected service life and the regulatory requirement, and we select the substrate and adhesive to match — vinyl, reflective vinyl, polyester, polycarbonate, polypropylene, paper, foil or aluminium, with all-temperature, opaque, permanent or removable adhesives.
That is why our work ends up on fire apparatus, refuse trucks, rental equipment, control panels and retail floors, and why it stays there.
