Custom Banners, Signs, and Trade Show Display, Built in San Diego
From retractable banners at a downtown trade show booth to yard signs on every block of a neighborhood campaign, signage works hardest when it is printed right. We produce the full range of indoor and outdoor signage at our Sorrento Valley facility, using wide-format printing technology designed for sharp color, vibrant graphics, and weather-resistant materials.
We’ve Been Producing Signage
TPS Printing has produced signage for San Diego businesses, events, and campaigns for more than 40 years. Today, our signage work spans trade shows at the San Diego Convention Center, retail storefronts in La Jolla and Sorrento Valley, political campaigns across San Diego County, biotech research conferences, real estate offices, and event production companies.
We do small runs for boutique retail and one-off scientific poster prints for graduate students. We do large-scale productions for national trade show clients and event production companies. Whatever scale your signage need is at, we can produce it.

How We Build Signage That Holds Up
Signage is judged on three things: visual impact, durability under real-world conditions, and accurate color. A faded banner three weeks into outdoor exposure isn’t a banner anymore, it’s an apology. We build for the actual conditions your signage will face.

Coordinated Signage Programs
Many of our signage customers need a coordinated package, not a single item. Trade show booth rollouts, retail brand refreshes, and event productions usually involve multiple signage components designed and printed to match.
When you order a coordinated package from us, we manage the color, brand alignment, and delivery timing across every component. One vendor, one revision train, one delivery window.
