Jus Wrap it, a subsidiary company of Car Audio Cocoa, was established in the vibrant tourism city Cocoa, Florida, in 2014 and specializes in vehicle wraps and signs. A local and tourist favorite, Cocoa Beach Ale house, contacted Jus Wrap It, expressing an interest to liven up a bland wall in their outdoor space, which faces numerous major hotels. After several conferences with the Cocoa Beach Ale house owners, and the graphic design team at Jus Wrap It, the concept for the outdoor sign was born. All these two businesses needed was a reliable graphic product, and that’s when Mactac became involved.

“There is no one-size-fits-all choice when it comes to window media,” comments Kitt Jones, application specialist, Roland DGA Corporation. “Whether you do wet or dry installation for these graphics is based on your ability—or your installer’s—to achieve a clean and bubble-free install.”
