can include vinyl banners, adhesive vehicle wraps and impressive entrance tapestries. Outdoor stage
installations are particularly impressive. Fabric sublimation produces the elegant banners that attract at-
tention and really make an impression.

9. Experience
Contact Image has grown from the merging of two successful Montreal-based
business entities operating in the high-end scanning / specialty imaging area and the
professional photography markets. Both were innovators who constantly embraced
new technologies, keeping them leaders in their respective fields.
With the advent of large format digital imaging, the opportunity to become a
dominant player in this new market presented itself and the two firms joined together
as Contact Image.
As part of the current management team’s long-term vision, Contact Image recently
moved to a new facility. This new plant maximizes work flow efficiency and allows
for future expansion. Our experienced and talented staff are settling in to our new
home and are anxious to take the company to its next level of development.
The entire team at Contact Image would welcome the opportunity to help
you produce high impact images for all of your large format projects.
