Acrylic Design Associates Earns Highest Level G7 Master Qualification

Elevating the Art and Science of Color Precision

Acrylic Design Associates is proud to announce its attainment of the G7 Master Qualification Colorspace Certificate.  This achievement recognizes our commitment to elite color precision in the creation of retail displays, signage, artwork and other design solutions.

The G7 Master Qualification is a highly regarded certification program within the printing and graphic arts industry – and Colorspace is its highest level.  Awarded by Idealliance – a global non-profit industry group that sets standards for print and digital media – the G7 Master Qualification is designed to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across different printing processes and substrates.

“We are excited about achieving G7 Master Qualification – Colorspace because it underscores our commitment to quality execution,” said Acrylic Design Associates President Bill McNeely, Jr.  “Our clients have high expectations when it comes to color matching, as this is an important part of expressing their brand identity.  G7 Master Qualification recognizes that the colors we reproduce are not just vibrant and eye-catching but also consistent across a wide variety of materials, applications and printing processes.”

Based in Minneapolis but with a global footprint, Acrylic Design Associates is a leader in building custom retail displays, LED fixtures, signage, artwork, architectural features and other solutions.  While acrylic is in the company’s name and DNA, Acrylic Design works with virtually all materials – including multiple high-performing plastics, wood, metal, print substrates, fabrics and more.  McNeely says that matching colors precisely across so many materials and thicknesses can be a challenge if not using the right approach and tools.

Making a Visual Impact

“There’s definitely an art and science to matching colors precisely,” said McNeely.  “Our team has the expertise and technologies to live up to our promise to our clients that their brand will be presented with the utmost accuracy and visual impact.”

  • Process control and standardization
  • Investment in state-of-the-art technologies
