What Service Graphics does

Service Graphics is a Glasgow-headquartered, UK-wide large-format printing and visual communications provider operating nine production and sales locations across Aberdeen, Birmingham, Farringdon/London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester/Cheadle, Skelmersdale, and Northern/Southern Mail divisions. Founded in 1961 and acquired by Paragon on 2 June 2025, the company designs, produces, and installs bespoke display graphics, tension fabric systems, retail POS/POP, signage and wayfinding, exhibition stands, building wraps, hoarding panels, floor graphics, vehicle graphics, and window displays for enterprise clients across retail, events and experiences, museums and attractions, property and construction, sports, and drinks sectors. Its underlying technology stack centres on super-wide format UV printing onto diverse substrates (ACM panels, fabrics, wallpapers, rigid boards, vinyl), supplemented by in-house recycled-fabric production and the MAGNWALL electrified, magnetised, reusable display system with built-in sensor analytics for shopper dwell and movement.

The company monetises primarily through project-based, quote-driven enterprise contracts delivered end-to-end from concept and design through production, logistics, installation, and post-event collection/recycling; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales from its nine UK locations, augmented by inside-sales inbound handling, trade-show prospecting (e.g., International Confex), and a content-led marketing function spanning an SEO-optimised website, blog, newsletter, LinkedIn/Twitter presence, case studies, and industry-award submissions. Named clients include Burberry, Gymshark, Lacoste, Aldi, UEFA, Liverpool FC, Charlotte Tilbury, Watches of Switzerland, Buckingham Palace, Qatar Museum, Kuoni, Tomatin, and Charity Super.Mkt., with notable projects including UEFA Euro 2024 (328 million viewers) and Eurovision 2023 (full Liverpool city overlay). Adjacent revenue streams include mailing services, secure scanning and archiving, brand asset management, and bid-document printing. Operational credentials include EcoVadis Bronze (top 35%), FSC chain-of-custody materials, Carbon Quota measurement, a Net Zero by 2030 commitment, ICO data-protection registration, and VM & Display Award wins in 2025 and 2026.
