Our History
1970’s
Our owner, Ron Courtney, started in the sign business at the age of 18, painting custom vans in the late 70’s because…it was the 70’s and, it was “Groovy”!
1980’s
Ron saw the era of custom personal vans ending. He begins to hand letter business trucks and vans. Ron also sees an opportunity to capitalize on the booming apartment industry in Indianapolis and begins to manufacture sandblasted signs and print marketing materials for the Multi-Family Housing Industry. Courtney Signs is a growing Commercial Sign Shop.
1990’s
As years passed hand work was almost completely replaced with computer generated vinyl graphics and in the early 90’s, Ron’s company embraced this new technology! This allowed us to quickly design and apply logos and information to vehicles, banners and signs for a consistent branding image and greater name recognition for our customers! We also expanded into manufacturing electric signs transitioning from a Commercial Sign Shop for non illuminated signs to a Full-Service Sign Company, landing a sweet job for Pepsi!
2000’s
Early in this decade national sign companies began to contact Courtney Signs looking for local service and installation help for their franchise and chain customers. Ron saw a need and embraced this approach to business. He also saw something coming in our industry…a slow down in development and new business openings…the Recession was coming and by the mid 2000’s it was in full swing. Ron’s foresight had led him to pare down and focus on the type of work that remained, working with those national companies. Ron also saw a new and exciting technology coming…the sign world was going to change once again because Digital Printing would change everything!
2011
By 2011 our wrap business had grown with overwhelming success! It became very obvious that we needed a dedicated division focused solely on vehicle wraps and digital printing. Killer Wraps became that division bring to the table extensive experience, and knowledge which has positioned us to be a leader in our industry!
Today
Courtney Signs became Midwest Signs in 2018! Our focus remains the national and regional company that works with local providers, but our footprint has moved far beyond the borders of Indiana!
For Killer Wraps…our industry is dominated by technology and we are always learning and growing in the business we love! We’re dedicated to providing our customers with the very best finished product but we also put a great emphasis on making sure each customer knows they are appreciated and we have heard you when you tell us your goals and business story!
The Future
With the growth of our past propelling us into a future full of potential, we are embracing the 20’s with excitement and dedication! “The Sky’s Limit” for Killer Wraps!
KILLER CERTIFIED QUALITY
1. Inspection
- Each project is thoroughly inspected during the bidding process and again upon arrival at our office. We will alert you to any potential for wrap failure relating to the condition of the vehicle. Deep scratches, dents, chips and rust will be discussed and we will encourage you to have any necessary touch-up bodywork completed prior to beginning your project in. Imperfections may be magnified by the vinyl for a color change wrap but a wrap with graphic may be designed in such a way that it can add some needed “camouflage”, if necessary. If touch-up is required it’s not necessary for your vehicle to have a “paint job”. We can apply your new wrap over primer!
2. Prep and Clean Again
- Our FREE CAR WASH with wrap purchase will allow you to bring your car, van or pick-up to us clean and ready for inspection.
- Prior to beginning, our team will take your vehicle through a thorough prep process using the highest industry standards.
- We will prep your vehicle by completely wiping it down with the industry’s best prep products. We’re making certain that your vehicle is free from any hidden road “crud” and fine particles. This step insures your paint will be receptive to the vinyl and will give you excellent adhesion between your paint and the wrap film. This step insures a long life for your new wrap.
- As we’re prepping your vehicle we are mentally mapping your project, becoming familiar with its contours and flat areas. This will assist us during the installation phase so that we know your vehicle’s potential challenges during installation, equipping us to complete a quality installation on our first application. No “Do Overs”!
- Next, if your project includes embellishment removal, we’re going to carefully remove and store them. When applicable we prefer to remove anything that will interfere with the smooth canvas of your vehicles body, allowing us to install a wrinkle-free wrap! The parts to be removed could include: moldings, door handles, trim, liners and labels. If the piece(s) will not be reinstalled before completion they will be safely stored in the vehicle so you will have them for future use. (Some embellishments and handles are not possible to remove – our staff will discuss this option during the initial inspection.)
- While we’re completing your project our professional installers are using only the highest quality tools and techniques.
3. Measure (Plus a Little Extra) - Then Cut
- We always allow a little extra material giving us the ability to properly wrap, tuck and conceal, insuring quality coverage for the life of your wrap.
4. Lay it Down
- Soft-cloth wipe one more time. This step insures there’s been no accumulation of dust or dirt during the previous steps!
- Laying your film comes next and our professional installers use only the highest quality premium films that are air-release products, giving you a bubble, ripple and wrinkle free result!
- Double check BEFORE trimming. After positioning and repositioning to insure all graphics are as designed and desired custom designs are achieved…then and only then is the trimming step completed!
5. Tuck the Edges
- Now our team is ready to properly tuck the edges of the film for a professional finish and enduring enjoyment for your wrap!
6. Heat and Set the Wrap
- After all previous steps are completed to our high standards your wrap is ready to heat, using just the right amount of temperature and pressure to set the vinyl in place! Now your new wrap will withstand the stresses of wind, rain, sun and salt! But we’re not done!
7. Clean it One More Time - Before Delivery!
- Before you arrive to pick up your new wrap we’re going to give another wipe down.
8. You Can RELAX Because Killer’s Got Your Back!
