The Color Spot

What The Color Spot does

The Color Spot, Inc. (TCS) is a privately held, full-service large format digital printing company headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, founded in 2003 as a division of Repro Products Inc. and now operating as an independent corporation. The company designs, prints, and installs large format graphics across a portfolio that includes vehicle wraps, banners and signage, wall decor, retail/POP displays, fabric printing, event and trade show graphics, architectural signage, 3D-printed elements, and commercial printing, with proprietary offerings such as BrandArmor™ for extended-lifetime fleet graphics. Its underlying technology base is hardware-driven: UV, solvent, and latex ink digital printers, dye sublimation and direct-to-fabric systems, and large-format 3D printers capable of producing pieces up to 3' x 3' x 5', all delivering up to 16-foot-wide output at resolutions such as 1200 dpi.

TCS operates four production facilities (Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Nevada) supported by a nationwide network of certified installers, and earns revenue through project-based pricing on custom printing jobs (e.g., vehicle wraps at $2,000-$3,800), exclusive national fleet programs (most notably a 2010 exclusive vehicle wrap contract covering 7,000+ BloomNet florist locations under 1-800-FLOWERS.COM), and value-added services including kitting, warehousing, fulfillment, and commercial finishing. Its go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales team, an inside-sales quote-request workflow, a self-serve digital file upload portal, and customized online ordering sites for agency and corporate clients, targeting verticals such as fleet and transportation, marketing and advertising agencies, retail, hospitality, construction, legal, and healthcare.
