PALO ALTO, Calif., June 23, 2020 – HP Inc. and 3M today announced a new collaboration to share large format graphics for commercial signage applications.

The 3M Graphics COVID-19 Related Signage library for HP is an online resource providing templates, design elements and poster artwork created to communicate guidance on social distancing and signage for wayfinding, in addition to signage for public health awareness. The content can be accessed for free through HP PrintOS or HP Applications Center. The ready-made design elements make it easy for designers and HP Large Format print service providers (PSPs) to create and produce applications, including:

  • Rollups and signage to enhance customers’ confidence by reassuring them of established social distancing practices
  • Floor and carpet graphics for social distancing and wayfinding that are durable, removable, cleanable and UL 410 approved for anti-slip
  • Display custom window signs or decals for storefront windows, mirrors and glass
  • Posters to show support for medical teams and general public awareness
