Need a Summer Break? We've Got the Artwork Covered! Vacation season doesn't have to slow down your shop. Whether your designer is out of the office or you're managing a busy production schedule, our experienced studio artists are ready to help. Send us your photos, rubbings, sketches, or reference materials, and we'll create clean, production-ready vector artwork for sandblasting. Need stencils too? We can cut and ship them directly to you, or simply email the vector file for you to cut in-house.

Design Mart is cutting U-Blast's new stencil, and customers have been very happy with it. The new color makes cut lines much easier to see and weed (or pull out). In addition to new colors, U-Blast Stencil is using its new mesh technology to make stencils more resistant to stretching and distortion. For more information on Design Mart's precut stencil services, visit: https://lnkd.in/gxkDN5za We are also available to answer questions if you'd like to email d-mart@designmart.com or call 800-736-7455. We look forward to hearing from you. #stencilcutting #stencilcut #ublast #ublaststencils #ublaststencil #DesignMart

Memorial Day began as Decoration Day, a time for families and communities to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves after the Civil War. Over time, it became a national day of remembrance for those who gave their lives in service to our country. For the monument industry, it also marks an important season of preparation, as many families hope to have memorials completed in time for Memorial Day. A meaningful reminder of how history, remembrance, and memorialization remain closely connected. #MemorialDay #DecorationDay #Memorials #MonumentIndustry #GraniteIndustry #DesignMart

Since 2009, our Online Monument Designer has helped monument retailers connect with families earlier in the process—and turn those initial interactions into meaningful, lasting relationships. Giving families the ability to create a starting concept doesn’t replace the retailer. It strengthens your role. You guide the conversation, refine the vision, and deliver a final memorial that’s both personal and high quality. Design Mart offers two Online Design programs, including a more basic version that can be integrated directly into your website—making it easy for families to engage while keeping you at the center of the process.
