Our story
Innovation in graphics since 1992
The ADGraphics story begins with innovation. In 1992, 3M introduced a breakthrough in large format printing technology, and ADGraphics was among the first companies to pioneer it. We worked closely with 3M during the testing and development phases, hosting much of the early research in our South Florida facility.
That partnership allowed us to help shape what would become the modern signage industry. Since then, ADGraphics has built its reputation as a ground-breaker in fleet wraps, architectural signage, entertainment graphics, and custom solutions. While the technology has evolved, our core mission remains the same: deliver the highest-quality graphics with service that exceeds expectations.
With the 2024 acquisition of Visual Signs and Graphics, ADGraphics is expanding its capabilities and service area across Florida. This integration brings together two industry leaders in signage, vehicle wraps, and large-format printing—uniting teams, technology, and decades of experience.
