“Okay. So, we’re live at SGIA Expo Day 2. I’m here with Jim and Bruce from Catalina Graphic Films, Inc. And, people, this what you do if you recognize me, you say, ‘Hey Deborah!’, and you call me over, we have a 5-mnute conversation and boom, you’re broadcast to the printerverse. So, Congratulations gentlemen. But, the bonus of this is that you actually have a pretty cool product here that anybody with an offset or digital press can undertake the decal and cling market. So, let’s talk about that.” Deborah, first of all, you are the center of the social media universe, and I want all of your listeners, all of your viewers to know that we love having you here this year at the SGIA, because you’re roaming around the place, you’re taking some videos and stuff. It’s fantastic. We love it. And, I’ll do my best Donald trump here and say, ‘It’s brilliant. It’s perfect.’ So, Catalina Graphic Films is a family-owned, second generation business. We’ve been around since 1968. We make all sorts of pressure sensitive vinyls and adhesives. Essentially, if you’re going to use any POP, display vinyls, you’re using static clings. We are a fantastic resource for you. We are a 100% domestic company. Everything we do and manufacture is right here in the United States. We have regional locations that are spread out throughout the country, and we use a lot of distributors to distribute our products, as well as some direct business to larger cheap dot-type operations. When it comes to digital and it comes to some of our commercial applications like that, realistically, we have indigo lines, UV lines, inkjet. We have everything except for oculus. So, whether it’s solvent, eco-solvent, UV or latex, we’ve got the product for you. And in fact, our indigo line and our dry toner line, some of our newest technology’s being fed into that. One area that we’re showcasing today is our static cling. Our 8-nose static cling at a 10-point liner has the actual portable – Well, that’s the optically-clear static cling. So, this is a good example. This would be an example of our static cling on a 10-point, white liner. So, what we’ve done is, here’s the static cling that’s printed on an Indigo on the front, while on the back, is an Indigo-coated 10-point board that allows you to run it through your Indigo machine to print whatever you want in the back. So, if you’re into branding, if you’re into imaging, if you’re looking for just to have something in the back that says, ‘Remove to expose.’ This is the perfect product for you. We also offer, outside of the digital arena, a tremendous amount of other things. Window graphics, wall graphics and floor graphics. So, when it comes down to it, if you’re looking for a domestic, very competitively-priced product, that can be printed digitally, Catalina Graphic Films is a one-stop shop. We hope that you would consider us. You can check us out online at www.catalinagraphicfilms.com. I’m Bruce Erbeck, I cover the southeast region of the United States.

“Dude. You should be like a weatherman or a newscaster or something. But, Jim seriously, I need you to simmer down a little. Okay? Just a little because that was just a little too much enthusiasm and information that you were just spewing at people there.” I let Bruce do it.
“Okay. You guys look fantastic. Thank you so much and thank you for the kind words.” Thank you. Have a great day.
