_The Look Company Redefines High-Resolution Fabric Printing Standards With New 8-color, 600 DPI Resolution Fabric Graphics That Exceed the Industry Standard of 4-color 300 DPI Resolution_

**Barrie, Ontario, Canada (December 9, 2025) –** [The Look Company](https://thelookcompany.com/), creators of large-scale visual branding for retail, sport and event environments, is redefining high-resolution fabric printing capabilities with the introduction of eight-color graphics previously not available in the industry. For sports teams, stadiums, chain stores and big-box retailers this will mean the ability to achieve graphics and visual displays with an unprecedented range of colors, including notoriously challenging colors, such as “Reflex Blue.”

The company’s investment in advanced printing practices will be put to immediate use on major projects, including graphics for the world's largest soccer tournament and the 2026 NHL Stadium Series, as well as for global retailers like Walmart. The resulting graphics will be printed at twice the color gamut achieved by standard industry printing, while decreasing printing times and increasing energy efficiency.

Currently, the global printing industry produces graphics using the four-color CMYK model, printed at a standard resolution of 300 DPI (dots-per-inch). These limitations, however, prevent brands and organizations around the world from accurately achieving newer, more complex color shades and more sophisticated brand guidelines. By contrast, The Look Company’s new printing capabilities make an eight-color palette and 600 DPI resolution the new standard for its clients. 

The Look Company’s new high-resolution fabric printing capabilities will also improve its offerings in the following ways:

*   **Faster printing of fabric graphics:** Through a mix of skilled expertise, a new color correction process and raw material upgrades, The Look Company can now produce even higher quality graphics, faster.
    
*   **Reduced energy consumption:** The faster and more streamlined production process requires less energy to arrive at the final product, as well as reduces unnecessary material waste.
    
*   **Centralized production across multiple locations for consistency:** This upgrade in print quality and consistency has been executed through all six of The Look Company’s global factories, including three facilities in North America.
    

“We’ve built our company into a global brand by constantly innovating at the speed of technology and going beyond the industry to adopt the best production practices available,” said **Jacob Burke, Global CEO of The Look Company**. “Our sense is that there’s no reason that the large-scale graphics you see on game day or while shopping in-store should be lower quality based on existing industry standards. We believe that our commitment to redefining what our clients can expect will create a new standard of efficiency and design for the printing industry as a whole, all while supporting our commitment to sustainability and reduced environmental impact around the world.”

All of these upgrades enable The Look Company to build on the high technical accuracy its known for and distinguish itself in an increasingly visual world.

There’s nothing quite like the energy of a live sports event—cheering crowds, team colors everywhere and the buzz of anticipation before the big game. 

In such a charged environment, capturing fan attention is both a challenge and an opportunity. That’s where [building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) come in.

These massive, high-impact graphics transform the exterior of sports venues into vibrant, larger-than-life canvases that immerse fans in the event before they even step inside. 

More than just eye-catching visuals, building wraps are powerful marketing tools that generate excitement, [strengthen branding](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/how-effective-branding-enhances-stadiums-events-festivals) and deliver premium visibility for sponsors.

Building wraps enhance fan engagement, unify an event's look and feel and elevate sponsor impact, offering a fresh, dynamic way to make your sports event unforgettable.

##   
The Power of Large-Scale Graphics in Sports Event Marketing

[Sports events](https://thelookcompany.com/markets/sports-and-events) thrive on emotion, energy and spectacle. Every visual element contributes to the atmosphere and anticipation from the moment fans approach a venue. 

Building wrap advertising takes this concept to the next level by turning stadiums, arenas and nearby structures into immersive storytelling platforms.

These large-scale graphics do more than decorate—they transform spaces into brand experiences. A bold [building wrap](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) showcasing team imagery or event themes immediately sets the tone, signaling to fans that they’re part of something big. 

When strategically designed, building wrapping creates a sense of unity and anticipation that starts well before the first whistle.

Large graphics trigger strong emotional responses psychologically. They capture attention, evoke pride and excitement and create memorable moments that stick with fans long after the event. 

For sponsors, it’s a rare opportunity to participate in that emotional journey, making their message not just seen but felt.

## How Building Wraps Address Common Sports Event Challenges

#### Boost Fan Engagement  

First impressions matter, especially in sports. 

A massive, visually arresting building wrap immediately sets the stage for an exciting [fan experience](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/sports-event-branding-elevating-the-fan-experience). Whether it features bold team colors, player imagery or event countdowns, it builds hype before attendees even enter the venue.

Adding interactive features—like QR codes linked to exclusive content, contests or behind-the-scenes videos—can turn a passive graphic into a dynamic touchpoint. These features deepen fan involvement and extend engagement well beyond game time.

And in the age of social media, building wraps provide picture-perfect backdrops. 

Fans love to share photos of their game-day experiences, and a striking wrap becomes a branded, shareable moment that organically promotes your event to a wider audience.

#### Maximize Sponsor Visibility

[Sponsors play a crucial role](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/creating-memorable-sponsorship-activations-with-dynamic-visual-solutions) in making sports events possible, but often struggle to get noticed amidst the visual clutter. 

[Building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) offer a premium solution: uninterrupted, large-format exposure in high-traffic areas around the venue.

Unlike traditional signage or small building banners, which compete for attention, a building wrap gives sponsors prime [visual real estate](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/city-dressing-bringing-sports-to-life-with-experiential-sports-marketing)—front and center, where fans can’t miss it. 

It’s a bold and effective way to elevate sponsor presence and deliver a strong return on investment.

#### Create a Consistent and Immersive Brand Experience

Disjointed signage and inconsistent branding can dilute an event's overall impact. 

[Building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) help create a cohesive visual environment by reinforcing team colors, slogans and logos across the venue’s exterior.

When [every visual touchpoint](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/how-indoor-stadium-graphics-strengthen-branding-and-boost-sponsorships) aligns, the event feels more organized, more immersive and more memorable. This visual consistency boosts brand recall and enhances the overall fan journey, from the parking lot to the final whistle.

#### Stand Out in Crowded Event Spaces

At major events, everything competes for attention—screens, signage, sponsor booths, you name it. That’s where [building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) come in.

With bold scale and high-impact placement, these wraps don’t just decorate stadium exteriors. They take over nearby buildings, downtown venues and even local businesses aligned with the event. 

From [guiding fans to entrances](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/effective-sports-stadium-wayfinding-in-event-management) and VIP zones to building anticipation blocks away, they do more than catch eyes—they shape the entire arrival experience.

During the [2023 Heritage Classic](https://thelookcompany.com/our-work) in Hamilton, for example, Tim Hortons wrapped its original storefront and multiple locations throughout Hamilton in custom graphics that turned the city’s streetscape into a living extension of the event. 

These wraps become iconic moments—anchoring fan energy, brand presence and excitement before fans even step inside.

#### Create a Lasting Impression Beyond the Game

While many advertising efforts fade into the background, building wraps create memories. Their size, impact and integration into the venue’s structure leave a strong visual imprint that resonates beyond the event itself.

These high-quality graphics often appear in news footage, highlight reels and fan photos. 

As a result, their influence continues through media coverage and social sharing, turning a temporary installation into a lasting marketing win.

#### Overcome the Limitations of Traditional Outdoor Advertising

[Building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) offer a more immersive and flexible alternative to static billboards or small banners. They provide significantly more space and can be tailored to fit the venue's architecture, blending seamlessly with its form.

Plus, they’re not a one-size-fits-all solution. Building wraps can be customized for each event, updated seasonally or refreshed to reflect current campaigns. 

Their temporary nature also makes them cost-effective for high-impact, short-term branding.

## Choosing the Right Building Wrap for Maximum Impact

Not all [building wraps](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) are created equal. To make the most of this powerful visual medium, it's essential to consider several key factors that influence visibility, durability and overall effectiveness.

#### Material and Durability

Sports events often face unpredictable weather, so choosing the right material is critical. 

Look for wraps made from weather-resistant vinyl or mesh that can withstand wind, rain and UV exposure. High-resolution printing ensures sharp, vibrant visuals that hold up throughout the event.

#### Customization Options

Each event has its own identity—your building wrap should reflect that. 

Custom designs incorporating team logos, sponsor [branding](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/stadium-branding-excellence-shaping-the-future-of-college-sports) and interactive features like scannable QR codes help create a unique and memorable experience for fans and partners alike.

#### Size and Placement

Size matters when it comes to visibility. Large wraps that cover major parts of the venue or nearby structures have the most impact. 

Strategic placement—near entrances, high-traffic zones or vantage points—maximizes exposure and ensures that as many attendees see the wrap as possible.

#### Installation and Removal

Event timelines are tight, so efficient installation and removal are a must. 

Working with [experienced professionals](https://thelookcompany.com/about-us/our-company) ensures the wrap goes up and comes down without damaging the building or disrupting venue operations.

Building Wraps for Sports: How Large-Scale Graphics Drive Fan Engagement

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA, November 18, 2025 -- The Look Company, creators of large-scale visual branding for retail, sport and event environments, was selected by the Canadian Football League (CFL) to dress the stadium, surrounding in-bowl areas and the festival for the 112th Grey Cup championship in Winnipeg. The company also produced exclusive designs for pop-up experiences at the University of Winnipeg and the RBC Convention Centre, indoors and out. This included creatively branded stairways, walkways, windows, overpasses, retail environments and premium outdoor interactive fan experiences. This is the company’s second year handling the branding for both the Grey Cup stadium and festival—a project that is usually divided among multiple providers.

The Grey Cup Championship Game, which attracts approximately four million viewers as Canada’s largest annual television and sports event, was hosted at Princess Auto Stadium in Winnipeg. The 32,343-person venue was dressed by The Look Company—including tens of thousands of square feet of printed fabric and vinyl. The Look Company also produced custom silicone edge graphics (SEG) for the 264,000 square foot RBC Convention Centre, where the Grey Cup Festival was held.

“As a company founded in Canada, we innately understand the energy and dedication of the millions of fans watching the Grey Cup and the players on the field,” said Jacob Burke, Global CEO of The Look Company. “It’s our goal to reflect that energy in the experiences we create for viewers in the stadium and at home. Our ongoing work with the Canadian Football League is the perfect intersection of our world-class expertise and genuine passion for this particular sports event.”

This is The Look Company’s sixth year as an official Grey Cup branding partner. In 2023, the company fully dressed the 110th championship, which was held at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario. This included multiple venues and City dressing throughout the entire downtown core.

CFL Kicks Off With The Look Company for 112th Grey Cup Visuals

**New York, NY (September 4, 2025)**—[The Look Company](https://thelookcompany.com/), creators of large-scale visual branding for retail, sport and event environments, has completed the acquisition of [OAI + Rainier](https://www.oaicorp.com/), a full-service visual branding and manufacturing company. The acquisition includes nearly all assets created by the 2022 merger of OAI and Rainier Industries, including two US-based manufacturing facilities in Tampa and Seattle, new capabilities across the sports, events, retail and industrial sectors, and a robust client portfolio, spanning sports leagues, professional teams, retail chains, aerospace companies and beyond. OAI + Rainier’s CEO Chris Inverso and approximately 200 new team members will additionally join The Look Company.  OAI + Rainier is a portfolio company of [LFM Capital](https://www.lfmcapital.com/), a private equity firm focused on investing in lower middle market manufacturing and industrial services businesses. LFM Capital will retain a significant minority interest in the company.

The acquisition strategically positions The Look Company to locally support its growing work in the United States for clients in sport and retail markets, such as the FIFA World Cup, which will take place across 16 cities in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Prior to the acquisition, the company relied on its production facilities, which collectively occupy 200,000 sq feet across Canada, Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia.

The new Tampa and Seattle factories add another 52,000 and 137,000 sq. feet, respectively, bringing total global manufacturing space to 380,000 sq. feet. They will become part of the company’s growing distributed manufacturing supply chain, designed to maximize sustainability across all projects by utilizing local resources, and suppliers. This includes work for retail, sports stadiums, major sporting events, brand activations, conferences, city dressing and wayfinding, as well as new project categories resulting from the acquisition. 

As part of the acquisition, The Look Company has also acquired the tent and shelter divisions of Rainier Industries. This will enable the company to offer its local and global clients temporary tent structures for sporting events worldwide, and custom fabrication of industrial products, among other display and signage offerings. These businesses will continue to operate under the Rainier brand, preserving a long legacy of shelter products dating back to 1896.

“We’ve spent 27 years building our offering from the ground up. This includes introducing printing and production facilities in five countries, establishing operations in eight, and creating brand experiences across major sports leagues, teams, retailers, brands and cities,” said Jacob Burke, Global CEO of The Look Company. “Now, with the acquisition of OAI + Rainier, we’ll be able to fast track the next phase of our growth with a likeminded company that has not only built an incredibly impressive portfolio of offerings, but will enable us to diversify what we can bring to our joint client base.” 

The Look Company’s client portfolio includes names such as FIFA, NHL, MLB, Walmart, The Olympics, Formula 1, Jaguar, Land Rover, Canada Games, Mattress Firm, Burlington and others. Through the acquisition, its roster will now additionally include clients such as the country’s most prestigious sports leagues, the Seattle Seahawks,Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Sports Commission, Florida Panthers, Florida International University, Greater Orlando Sports Commission, major consumer brands and many others. 

“When we brought together OAI and Rainier three years ago, we had a vision of production excellence that dates all the way back to Rainier’s nineteenth-century roots, and continues to set a standard across the United States today,” Chris Inverso, CEO of Rainier + OAI. “In joining The Look Company, we look forward to bringing this standard to clients across the globe and building one of the world’s largest visual branding companies.”

OAI (Outdoor America Images) was founded in 1989 and specializes in the design, production and installation of high-resolution displays, décor packages, banners, billboards, signage and more. 

Rainier Industries was founded in 1896, initially producing tents for the Gold Rush. It then expanded into temporary tent structures for sporting events worldwide, along with providing branding and visual engagement solutions for clients.

In 2022, Rainier Industries acquired OAI to create OAI + Rainier. Their merger brought together OAI's visual branding expertise with Rainier's manufacturing capabilities in dimensional fabrication.

How Indoor Stadium Graphics Strengthen Branding and Boost Sponsorships

Effective [sports stadium wayfinding](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners#wayfinding) is essential for the smooth operation of events and the satisfaction of attendees. These systems guide fans effortlessly through the venue, making their experience enjoyable from arrival to departure.

For event organizers, investing in efficient sports stadium wayfinding enhances the fan experience and improves operational efficiency, leading to more successful and profitable events.

![](https://res.cloudinary.com/fortyfournorth/image/upload/v1718897278/The%20Look%20Company%20%28Staging%29/y34mlbe42wodwwo2xjvj.jpg)

##   
The Role of Sports Stadium Wayfinding

####   
  
What is Wayfinding?  
  

[Wayfinding involves using signage](https://inclusive.sa.gov.au/resources/state-authority-resources/accessible-wayfinding-and-signage/what-is-wayfinding-and-signage), maps and other navigational aids to help people find their way in complex environments. In sports stadiums, wayfinding ensures that fans can easily locate entrances, exits, restrooms, concessions and their seats.

  
Effective stadium [wayfinding signage](https://thelookcompany.com/products/signs-and-banners) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and satisfaction of attendees. Clear, well-placed signs reduce confusion and stress, allowing fans to enjoy the event without worrying about getting lost

####   
Seamless Fan Experience  

  
A well-designed wayfinding system enhances the overall fan experience. When fans can easily navigate the stadium, they spend less time searching for facilities and more time enjoying the event. 

This leads to higher satisfaction and a greater likelihood of returning for future events.  

####   
Improved Crowd Management

  
Effective wayfinding and [stadium signage](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/changing-stadium-graphics-for-multiple-sports-team-events) help manage crowd flow, reduce congestion and minimize bottlenecks. Directing fans along efficient paths ensures smooth movement throughout the stadium, enhancing both safety and enjoyment.

#### Increased Emergency Response Efficiency

Clear wayfinding is critical in emergencies. It ensures that fans and staff can quickly locate exits and safety points, enabling faster and more organized evacuations. This can significantly reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities during crises.

![](https://res.cloudinary.com/fortyfournorth/image/upload/v1718897419/The%20Look%20Company%20%28Staging%29/p3rfnvpmblxxoi9kkxfd.jpg)

##   
Improving Wayfinding for Enhanced Visitor Experience

  
Navigating large venues can often be challenging, but it's a crucial aspect of the overall visitor experience. In a recent Deloitte survey, [67% of casual attendees reported](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/technology-media-and-telecommunications/articles/stadium-experience-fan-satisfaction-survey.html) that stadiums were easy to navigate.

To increase this number, it's essential to understand the key role that clear signage and well-designed pathways play in effortlessly guiding attendees through the venue.

This statistic highlights that while a majority of visitors find stadiums navigable, there is still room for improvement. Effective signage and intuitive wayfinding systems are not just about directions—they contribute significantly to a visitor's overall experience.

Imagine arriving at a massive stadium for the first time: The clear, concise signs and logical pathways immediately reduce anxiety, making the experience more enjoyable from the outset.

By focusing on wayfinding improvements, venues can enhance satisfaction, reduce frustration and create a more welcoming environment for all guests. Improved navigation not only benefits casual attendees but also ensures that those with mobility issues, families with children and international visitors can enjoy a seamless experience.

When visitors can easily find amenities such as restrooms, concessions and exits, they will spend more and be more satisfied overall.

4.  **Regulatory signs**: Indicate rules and safety information, such as exit routes and emergency instructions.

The Power of Effective Sports Stadium Wayfinding In Event Management

Effective [stadium branding](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/sports-event-branding-elevating-the-fan-experience) enhances the game-day experience and crafts a unique identity for college sports programs. It bridges the gap between tradition and innovation, engaging students, alums, fans and potential recruits.

## Crafting a Unique College Sports Identity  

  
The identity of a team extends far beyond its wins and losses. It encompasses the spirit, values and tradition of the institution. Here's how strategic and creative branding principles play a crucial role in shaping this identity through stadium branding:

**Understand the Audience**: Knowing who comes to the games is key—students, alums, families and recruits. Each group connects with different aspects of the team's branding.

**Tell a Story**: Every college has its own history and traditions. Stadium marketing through branding tells this story through the institution's heritage and values.

**Seating Areas**: Tailoring [seat covers](https://thelookcompany.com/products/fabric-and-frames), banners and flags in team colors and logos can transform seating areas visually, enhancing the sense of unity and pride among fans.

**Consistent Theming**: Maintaining a consistent theme throughout the stadium, from the locker rooms to the VIP suites, reinforces the brand identity at every turn.

## Impact of Innovative Stadium Branding on Engagement  

  
Innovative [stadium branding](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/sports-stadium-branding-to-turn-heads-in-2023) shapes audiences' emotional and psychological engagement with a college sports program. 

Understanding the depth of [brand identity](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/brand-identity.asp) and its impact on consumer behavior offers valuable insights into how stadium branding ideas enhance audience engagement.

Due to several factors, this identity creates an emotional bond with the audience:

**Quality and Value Perception:** Based on their experiences and the stadium's environment, the audience associates a particular brand with a certain level of quality or value.

**Brand Drivers**: Team success, community involvement, and the game-day experience motivate people to support the brand. These drivers affect purchase decisions related to tickets, merchandise and more, building brand loyalty.

**Emotional Connections**: The stories, traditions and shared experiences promote a strong emotional connection between the audience and the team. This connection turns casual attendees into lifelong supporters.

##   
The Role of Stadium Branding in Enhancing Engagement  

  
Stadium branding that’s innovative and resonates emotionally significantly impacts audience engagement by:

**Creating a Memorable Atmosphere**: From the moment people approach the stadium to the post-game experience, every branded element contributes to a unique atmosphere that elevates the event's emotional impact. This can include elements like flags, banners or [multiple sports stadium signage](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/changing-stadium-graphics-for-multiple-sports-team-events).

##   
Beyond Visuals: Experiential Branding in Stadiums with The Look Company

Beyond mere visuals, TLC specializes in experiential branding that engages fans on a deeper level with the college's sports programs.

This sports marketing approach promotes events and creates a buzz that resonates throughout the city.

## Stadium Branding as a Recruitment and Retention Tool

  
Stadium branding emerges as a strategic asset for audience engagement and a critical tool in recruiting and retaining top athletic talent. The environment a stadium creates, and its ability to tell a story and evoke emotion can significantly influence an athlete's decision to commit to a college sports program.

**Showcase Excellence**: Through high-quality visuals and cohesive design elements, [TLC's stadium branding](https://thelookcompany.com/our-work) reflects the excellence of a college's sports program, signaling a commitment to success both on and off the field.

Once recruits become part of the team, the stadium's branding continues to play a vital role in their experience.

**Pride and Belonging**: Effective branding helps athletes feel a part of something larger than themselves, creating a sense of pride and belonging to the team and the college.

**Legacy and Tradition**: Incorporating the college's history and achievements into the stadium's design reminds athletes of the legacy they're contributing to, encouraging their continued commitment to the program.  

#### Influencing Decision-Making  
  

The strategic use of [branding in stadiums](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/sports-event-branding-solutions-the-brand-awareness-powerplay) influences prospective and current athletes, their families and the broader student body.

**Families**: A well-branded stadium can reassure families about the quality of the program and the college's investment in their child's future.

Stadium Branding Excellence: Shaping the Future of College Sports

What makes a sports event memorable for fervent fans, teams, and sponsors? The primary focus, of course, is the incredible performances of athletes who push the boundaries of human potential to make an indelible mark on sporting history.

But there's more to modern-day sporting events. Each event is a mega show where the [entire experience counts](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/how-graphic-displays-elevate-the-fan-experience-in-stadiums-and-sports-fields)—a stadium dressed in vibrant team colors and sponsors' logos, attractive event merchandise and memorabilia, and enticing food & beverage areas where fans can re-energize themselves to cheer on their favorite teams a little more.

Creating a [cohesive brand identity for a major sports competition](https://thelookcompany.com/markets/sports-and-events) requires a comprehensive event branding strategy, meticulously executed visual engagement components, and the support of arduous fans and eager sponsors.

Bringing it all together is the job of a sports branding partner or visual engagement solutions provider—like The Look Company—that creates a memorable look for every event!

Read on to discover the critical role of [sports event branding](https://thelookcompany.com/markets/sports-and-events) in the success of a mega competition and how The Look Company has partnered with teams, venues, sponsors, and event organizers to create innovative event experiences.

## **The Art of Sports Event Branding**

  
Sports events have the power to unite fans and entire communities and even bring together a nation.

But organizing a sports event at scale is a costly affair. Ultimately, the event must bring in commercial revenue from [sponsorships](https://thelookcompany.com/blog/creating-sponsorship-opportunities-at-sports-events-venues), brand activations, merchandising and licensing agreements to offset the organizers' investment in the event.

A successful sports event brand becomes a valuable asset that holds not just entertainment value but also means big business for brands and sponsors and significant earnings for sports personalities and team owners.

But sports competition brands are not built in a single event. It takes years of consistent branding to bring fans back to witness a live competition repeatedly, improve attendee engagement year-on-year, and create an impressive reputation for the brand.

[Sports event branding](https://thelookcompany.com/markets/sports-and-events#event-branding) is an art and a serious business challenge.

How do marketers build anticipation for a prestigious sports event? 

Let's look at how we create a strong brand presence that pulls crowds, generates revenue, and delivers a stunning fan experience.
