According to the CDC, National Influenza Vaccination Week is December 5-11, 2010.

CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against an influenza A H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season.

5 to 20 percent of the population get the flu.

The peak of flu season has occurred anywhere from late November through March.

Visit flu.gov for more for more statistics and information on flu prevention and treatment.

Thousands of times a day, a simple touch can spread germs throughout your office to meeting rooms, doors, elevator buttons, and ultimately employees and visitors.

Why not have a convenient way for those around you to help keep sickness under control? This lightweight, portable banner stand with your own custom graphics will make people aware, while also protecting them with hand sanitizer.

Once winter is long gone, this versatile display can easily be switched over to meet your needs of the moment‚ Have new a product, event or announcement to feature or promote? Simply remove the graphics cartridge from the base, switching out the old graphics for new. The hand sanitizer portion can also be removed.

In a somewhat non-traditional manner, Exhibit Studios recently helped Turkey Hill officials break ground by unfurling a banner rather than tossing a symbolic shovelful of soil. Click here to view the banner in action.

We produced and installed the 15′ x 32′ vinyl banner on the facade of the historic silk mill in Columbia, Pa. that will become the planned Turkey Hill Experience.

After the unveiling ceremony held on July 28, 2010, we then moved the banner to the opposite side of the building, to face Route 30 until the project is scheduled to be completed.

To check out more photos of the banner, visit our Exhibit Studios Facebook page.

We’ve just recently joined the Facebook revolution.

Congratulations, Tracy!

Save shipping costs by weighing and measuring each piece in your shipment. This detailed information is invaluable in providing an accurate description of individual pieces that you may be trying to locate for any reason.

Have the dimensions and the weight permanently written on the outside of each box or carton. Freight handlers will use your figures and record that to your shipment paperwork.

Accurately weighing and measuring your shipment is important because there is a chance you could be charged much more than necessary if overestimated.

It could work against you if figures are not accurate or overestimated.

We all know how hectic exhibit planning can be with rapid deadlines, last-minute changes and logistical headaches. Nimlok and its network of local partners deliver brilliant designs with services that make our clients’ lives easier, and Exhibit Studios recently delivered a perfect example of that level of sophistication.

Specialty paper manufacturer, Glatfelter approached Exhibit Studios with a decaying booth, a tight budget and about six weeks to go before one of their biggest shows. Nathan Young and his Nimlok team rapidly salvaged several existing structural elements and incorporated a series of rental properties to create our Design of the Week, an elegant 20×40 exhibit with private meeting spaces.

Correction: 30×30 exhibit! Did we mention a last minute booth dimension change, days before the exhibit shipped? Not a problem for Exhibit Studios, who quickly reconfigured the exhibit to meet the show floor specs. With so many moving pieces, Nathan and co. did a brilliant job keeping their client’s project on track.

In all, a cool project, a super solution and a happy Nimlok client! Thanks and congratulations to Nathan Young and Mike Fink of Exhibit Studios, and Nina St. Peter of Nimlok Company for delivering our Design of the Week!
