The flattened banner gores in a format ready for direct inkjet printing on nylon. The printed gores were then trimmed by us and sewn right away for amazingly quick turnaround!

Special thanks to Dan Nachbar at Skyacht Aircraft for collaboration with the use of his sewing workshop and staff to undertake this ambitious rush project. Two 92-foot-long Skyship 600 blimp banners were produced from mere concept to creation in six hectic days. Amazing turnaround!
