New York – – October 01, 2026 -- NYC Banners printed and installed the official "Shield of the Americas" backdrop for a United States Department of State event held during United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) week in New York City. The high-tension fabric display served as the primary backdrop for official remarks by international delegates, including U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
NYC Banners fabricated two stretch displays under tight security and time constraints
The printer produced two heavy-duty polyester stretch banners -- one measuring 20x10 ft and another at 10x8 ft -- for the indoor setting. A glare-free material was selected to maintain visual clarity under high-definition flash photography expected from international press coverage.
Color-matching to the Department of State seal required exact production precision
NYC Banners executed precise color-matching to replicate the official Department of State seal on both displays. The company stated it maintained strict confidentiality and complied with United Nations security protocols throughout the engagement.
Founder cites same-day capability as differentiator for rush orders
"As NYC's ultimate rush order specialist, we handle last-minute printing so you can order today and receive today. Honestly, we print everything except dollar bills," said Mohamad Faroqui, Founder of NYC Banners.
Same-day fabrication and on-site installation address New York's event-production timelines
NYC Banners positions same-day fabrication paired with professional on-site installation as a way to eliminate coordination between separate vendors for time-sensitive events. The company said traditional multi-day production timelines do not meet the demands of high-level events such as the UNGA Summit, where delivery windows are compressed and security clearance adds additional scheduling pressure.
