Insight Brief

What Consumer Brands Vehicle Fleet Graphics Actually Are

The product behind this nomination is something most people see every single day without realizing it.

The large-format graphics on national food company fleets, service provider vehicles, and major retail brand trucks rolling across American highways—those are not just logos. They are precisely engineered, large-format graphics built to withstand harsh weather, road conditions, and thousands of miles while representing a brand’s identity with vibrant, consistent color every single mile.

That is what our team in Hutchinson, Kansas builds. And that is what earned this nomination.

A Celebration of the People Behind the Work

Being chosen as a Top 10 finalist from across Kansas manufacturing is a direct reflection of the skill, precision, and dedication our team brings to every graphic that leaves our facility. Every square inch of a fleet wrap requires exacting attention to detail. Every color has to match. Every panel has to perform.

“This nomination is a powerful testament to the craftsmanship, creativity, and visual impact that our employees pour into every graphic we create,” said the Lowen Color Graphics team.

As Coleen Jennison, Interim President and CEO of the Kansas Chamber noted, the Coolest Thing Made in Kansas contest celebrates the great companies and the hardworking people behind them. That framing matters—because at Lowen, the work and the people behind it have always been inseparable.

What the Coolest Thing Made in Kansas Contest Represents

The Coolest Thing Made in Kansas contest is managed by the Kansas Manufacturing Council to promote the economic impact and diversity of Kansas manufacturing. Being named a Top 10 finalist places Lowen Color Graphics among the most innovative and recognized manufacturers in the state.

For a company that pioneered photographic truck imaging in the 1980s and beta tested one of the first wide-format digital printing presses in the 1990s, being recognized for innovation in Kansas manufacturing feels right at home.

Built in Kansas. Seen Across America.

From our 300,000 sq. ft. facility in Hutchinson, Kansas, Lowen Color Graphics produces custom fleet graphics and vehicle wraps for national brands like FedEx, Chick-fil-A, USPS, and Kroger. The work starts here. The impact shows up everywhere.

That combination of local roots and national reach is exactly what makes Lowen Color Graphics one of the most unique manufacturing operations in Kansas—and it is exactly what this nomination recognizes.

We are proud of our team. We are proud of our home state. And we are proud to represent Kansas manufacturing on a national stage.
