From Print to Install: How Caskey’s 3M MCS Warranty Protects Your Brand

The Industry Standard for Graphics That Last

In the world of fleet wraps, indoor and outdoor signage, and branded interiors, great graphics don’t just attract attention—they carry your reputation. Earning its place as the industry’s most respected warranty for finished graphics, the 3M MCS Warranty is reserved for certified providers who meet strict production and installation standards. Caskey is among that select group.

Every project we deliver under this certification, from material choice to installation, is backed not just by our team, but by 3M. That coverage isn’t just a reassurance; it’s a reflection of the standards we build our reputation on.

A Warranty That Covers More Than You Might Think

Most warranties stop at individual products. The 3M MCS Warranty protects the entire graphics system—inks, media, printers, and application methods—tested together to ensure long-term performance. That means fewer surprises, better consistency, and results that hold up in the real world.

It also extends beyond production. The warranty requires certified installation techniques, helping prevent common issues like peeling, bubbling, and fading. If anything does go wrong, support comes not just from Caskey, but directly from 3M. That kind of shared accountability sets certified providers apart.

Why It Matters for Your Brand

When timelines are tight and expectations are high, graphics don’t just need to look great, they need to perform. Whether you’re managing signage for a senior living community or a regional fleet, failure isn’t just frustrating—it’s expensive and damaging to your brand.

That can be especially true for vehicle wraps. As Austin Rife, YGS Corporate Account Executive, puts it, “The 3M MCS Warranty certification is the most comprehensive vehicle graphics warranty in the industry. It is a game changer for protecting our clients’ wraps from cracking, peeling, fading for years after the wrap is installed.”

The 3M MCS Warranty gives our clients a unique level of confidence: your graphics are protected from start to finish by a system that’s been proven to last. And when your brand is out there for the world to see, that kind of protection matters.

A Look Inside the 3M Certification Process

Becoming a 3M MCS Warranty provider isn’t just a matter of buying the right equipment. It requires a full evaluation of materials, print workflows, finishing practices, and installation protocols. At Caskey, this meant reviewing everything from color calibration to adhesive application—with every step validated against 3M’s requirements.

With vast experience in print and production, Caskey’s own Jeff Yohn led the certification effort, working directly with 3M representatives throughout the process. The review included in-depth education on 3M’s full range of graphic materials—from vehicle wraps to window films to specialty substrates—as well as hands-on practice with installation tools and techniques to ensure everything met 3M’s performance standards.

The result is a process that’s been tested and trusted, and a level of assurance our clients can count on.

Real-World Proof: Graphics That Perform

You’ll see certified Caskey work in action at Menno Haven, Cross Keys Village, Willow Valley Communities, and Erickson Senior Living, projects that include bus graphics, interior branding, and exterior signage. These installations are more than just high visibility—they’re high-stakes representations of trusted brands.

We’re proud to support these organizations with work that’s not only visually striking but built to last. Each one is protected by the 3M MCS Warranty, ensuring those visuals stay sharp, consistent, and true to brand, no matter the setting.
