If you’ve ever walked into a hospital, dental office, or clinic in Los Angeles and felt instantly at ease, there’s a good chance large format printing played a part. From cheerful wall murals to sleek window graphics, large format printing in healthcare isn’t just about making things look good—it’s about helping people feel good, find their way, and trust where they are.
At CR&A Custom, we’ve worked with hospitals, clinics, and medical offices across Southern California to transform their space with compelling graphics. Our creative team can turn everyday walls, floors, and windows into opportunities for connection, comfort, and clear communication for all who enter. So whether you're managing a pediatric clinic in Pasadena or a multi-level medical center in Downtown LA, here are 12 creative ways to put large format printing to work in your healthcare space:
1. Make Wayfinding Friendly and Foolproof
No one wants to feel lost in a hospital hallway. With vibrant, easy-to-read wayfinding signage, you can guide your patients and visitors with confidence. Think about how wall-mounted directional arrows, color-coded department signs, and creative floor graphics can inform your visitors and inspire a cheerful environment.
As one example, we helped a mid-size clinic in Culver City create printed floor decals in bold colors to lead patients from check-in to radiology. There’s no limit to what we can do with print to help visitors find their way through your facility.
2. Add Joy with Wall Murals
No patient wants to stare at boring blank white walls in your lobby and hallways. Let us create some colorful and vibrant wall murals to completely transform your space. Pediatric waiting rooms come alive with undersea scenes or with cartoon characters. Rehab centers can bring calmness to visitors with images of serene forests or mountain imagery. With our creativity and printing technology, we can create more than a wall decoration—we can create a cheerful patient experience.
Let us show you what we can do with a little imagination, our eco-friendly printing inks, and a blank canvas of possibilities.
3. Boost Privacy (and Style) with Window Graphics
Digitally printed window graphics let you transform any glass surface into a tool for branding, privacy, or visual interest. To help meet HIPAA regulations, window graphics create private environments. Glass windows can be printed with custom graphics, abstract designs, or patterns that match your office décor while still letting natural light in.
Frosted vinyl can add elegance and privacy to windows, doors, or glass walls. Use bold graphics or create a calming atmosphere with abstract patterns or scenic images. Whether you're managing a chiropractic office in West Hollywood or a dental office in Glendale, window graphics offer a versatile, professional solution that’s easy to install and update.
4. Keep Health Messages Visible with Large Format Displays
From handwashing reminders to mask guidelines and vaccination updates, large format displays and wall clings help you keep everyone informed—without looking like a paper tornado hit your reception desk.
We helped one Glendale clinic create a playful “Germs Are No Joke” poster series, and their staff saw kids actually reminding each other to use sanitizer.
Large format posters are a simple, effective way to keep health and safety messages front and center. Whether you're sharing vaccination info, hygiene reminders, or seasonal health tips, posters are easy to update and hard to miss. Place them in lobbies, elevators, exam rooms, and hallways to make sure patients, visitors, and staff stay informed—without clutter or confusion.

5. Brand Your Space from the Lobby Up
Your signage should reflect your values and personality. The moment a patient walks into your lobby, the visuals around them can start telling a story. Branded graphic displays, custom acrylic signs, dimensional lettering, and even printed mission statements can reinforce who you are and what you stand for. These elements help patients and visitors feel a sense of trust and familiarity, while also boosting employee pride in the space they work in every day.
Let’s explore ways that our custom interior signage solutions can deliver important messages, reinforce your brand, and make visitors feel comfortable.
6. Use Your Doors and Elevators as Canvases
Why not get creative with all your offices’ vertical and horizontal surfaces? Door wraps and elevator graphics are great opportunities for messaging and decoration. Think of motivational messages or seasonal safety reminders. These graphics are hard to miss and easy to update.
We helped a Burbank urgent care center wrap its main stairwell door with a bold “Breathe In, Breathe Out” graphic—and patients loved the calming touch. What can we do for your healthcare facility?
7. Customize Patient Room Boards
In any busy healthcare setting, clear communication is vital—especially at the bedside. One small way to improve messaging could be through custom-printed dry-erase boards in patient rooms. These boards can provide a reliable, visible way to share critical information between staff, patients, and families.
Patient room boards can be printed with your branding and customized layouts that include space for care team names, daily goals, scheduled procedures, discharge planning notes, and even messages of encouragement. They can help reduce confusion, improve patient understanding, and support continuity of care across shifts.
8. Get Quick and Clear with Temporary Signage
In healthcare, things can change fast—and your signage needs to keep up. Large format temporary signs are perfect for guiding patients and visitors during renovations. Temporary signs can announce new services, or they can manage visitor flow at vaccination or testing sites.
We can provide durable and versatile banners, A-frames, and coroplast signs that can be used indoors or outdoors. They’re printed fast and built to be seen at eye level, with high contrast, and visible from a distance.
How about bilingual messaging? With flexible materials and custom designs, temporary signage keeps your facility running smoothly while showing patients and visitors you’re prepared, organized, and always thinking ahead.
9. Create an Event Presence That Stands Out
When you show up for a community event—whether it’s a health fair, job fair, or vaccination drive—your space should look as professional as the care you provide. Custom event signage like pop-up banners, branded tents, and printed table covers give your team a cohesive, polished presence that draws people in. Instead of blending into the background, you become a destination.
One Beverly Hills dental group brought a branded booth to a Santa Monica wellness event and walked away with 17 new patient appointments. When your booth looks sharp, people stop, ask questions, and remember who you are long after the event ends.
10. Direct Traffic Outside, Too
The patient experience starts before they walk through your doors. Clear, durable outdoor signage helps visitors navigate parking areas, find the right entrance, and follow curbside or drive-through instructions without stress. Whether it’s banners or directional signs, our large format printing solutions ensure your messaging is visible, weather-resistant, and on-brand.
Clarity matters—especially during high-traffic times or facility updates. It also shows that your practice values organization, accessibility, and patient comfort from the very first moment.
11. Celebrate Donors and Supporters
Whether you're honoring a generous sponsor or celebrating your nonprofit’s partners, custom donor walls and printed plaques add a meaningful, lasting touch. We can help you design a display that reflects your mission and your gratitude. We offer custom donor recognition displays that balance beauty and impact.
12. Keep Staff Informed and Engaged
Large format printing isn’t just for patients and visitors—it plays a big role behind the scenes, too. Keep your team aligned and motivated with printed event calendars, KPI dashboards, workflow charts, safety protocols, or even fun morale boosters in break rooms and staff corridors.
These visuals reduce miscommunication, reinforce goals, and make information easy to understand quickly. Plus, when messaging looks sharp and intentional, it feels more meaningful. From nurse stations to administrative offices, clear and consistent signage reminds your team they’re supported, informed, and part of something bigger.
