How M.O. Graphics Proudly Became 3M Certified and What it Means

M.O. Graphics boasts the esteemed recognition of being a 3M Certified Installation Company, aligned with the United Application Standards Group (UASG). This certification underscores our commitment to impeccable business practices, technical prowess, and comprehensive knowledge. By partnering with us, you ensure that your vehicle graphics, wall graphics, floor graphics, or any other graphic installations adhere to the highest industry standards established by 3M and the UASG.

The journey to attain 3M certification is rigorous and comprehensive. Prospective candidates undergo a meticulous evaluation process that includes stringent criteria set by 3M. This involves submitting portfolios showcasing previous work, demonstrating years of business experience, and providing proof of insurance coverage for consumer protection and workmanship. Moreover, candidates must furnish an extensive list of references, undergo on-site interviews, and participate in hands-on demonstrations observed by 3M representatives.

Upon meeting these preliminary requirements, candidates undertake optional full installation training provided by 3M. This training equips them with advanced techniques and ensures adherence to best practices in graphic installation. Subsequently, candidates face a series of rigorous hands-on and written tests, evaluating their proficiency across various textures and surfaces and assessing their comprehension of 3M products, installation procedures, and quality control measures.

Successful completion of these tests warrants a thorough review by both 3M and the UASG. Only upon joint approval from both entities does a company earn the esteemed title of a 3M Certified Graphics Installation Company. However, this certification is not static; it demands a continuous commitment to excellence. Certified companies must maintain a roster of tested installers, fulfill insurance obligations, and engage in ongoing education to stay abreast of evolving materials and techniques.

In essence, 3M certification serves as a hallmark of distinction, separating professional installers from the influx of less experienced counterparts saturating the market. Opting for a certified installer ensures superior quality, longevity, and peace of mind for clients. While the allure of cost-saving measures may tempt some to choose inexperienced installers, the long-term repercussions often outweigh any short-term gains. At M.O. Graphics, our dedication to excellence ensures that every installation is executed with precision, durability, and unmatched craftsmanship, setting us apart in a competitive landscape.
