Looking to bring more life into your space? Wallpaper is a great way to achieve a gorgeous look; whether it’s a one-of-a-kind mural, or a common pattern you want to extend throughout your space. When it comes to wall coverings, wallpaper provides many benefits something like vinyl wall wrap many not. That said, within the wallpaper category are many different types of wallpapers. Here we will discus when to use paste back wallpaper.
First, What Exactly is Paste Back Wallpaper?
Past back wall paper is, quite literally, when you apply paste to the backside of non-pasted wallpaper. Then—with the paste on the paper—you stick your wallpaper to the wall. This is different than adhesive backed wallpaper which is applied almost like a sticker. It also differs from pre-pasted wallpaper because it doesn’t need to be soaked in water and then applied after the paste is ‘activated’.
How to Install Paste Back Wallpaper
The process to install paste back wallpaper is fairly straightforward. While the steps sound simple, don’t let that fool you. Installing any type of wall covering—especially wallpaper—is an unforgiving and difficult process to master.
Measure, design, and print the wallpaper itself. Plot and cut wallpaper appropriately. If purchasing a pre-made; measure your walls and buy accordingly.
Clean the installation area thoroughly and let dry. Clean areas mean minimal contaminants.
Unroll your wallpaper on installation day and apply a healthy layer of paste to the backside or “application side” of the non-pasted wallpaper.
Carefully move your wallpaper to the wall where it will be installed. You have some time to position it once it is on the wall, but move fast and efficiently.
The Pros and Cons to Paste Back Wallpaper
Like all building materials, paste back wallpaper has a set of pros and cons. We will list those out here now in order to help better set the stage for when this type of wallpaper will yield the best finished product.
The Pros of Paste Back Wallpaper
During installation, it can slide around to get the perfect alignment.
Wallpaper is a thicker material, and can hide wall imperfections.
Can ensure all edges and corners get a proper amount of paste.
Less costly accidents when compared to pre-pasted wallpaper.
Can be custom printed to best suit your design requirements.
Less mess when compared to pre-pasted wallpaper.
Paste can fill in any imperfections in the wall.
It is quite permanent, so won’t easily peel.
The Cons of Paste Back Wallpaper
Using too much or too little paste can affect installation quality.
It is quite permanent, so removal isn’t going to exactly be easy.
Takes some skill and experience to get the right consistency.
Tends to be more costly than other types of wallpaper.
Messier than adhesive-backed wallpaper.
When to Use Paste Back Wallpaper
So with all this information, when then would be the best time to use a paste back wallpaper? As a wall covering company, we work with every type of wall covering available from wallpaper to wall murals. As such, our job is to help our customers find the best material for their installation.
When it comes to paste back wallpaper, one of the best uses is when a wall is in rough shape: dents, scratches, dings. This is because the paste can fill in those slight imperfections. In addition, the thickness of the wallpaper itself also helps to cover up those issues.
Another great time to consider paste back wallpaper is when you know you want a more permanent solution. Adhesive-back vinyl wall graphics are now lasting longer than ever, but they will never live up to the longevity of professional wallpaper.

Companies are deciding to come back to the office at a snail’s pace in 2021. With empty offices all across America, small business owners are considering ways to make use of this time to update their space. Many are considering long-term investments in graphics to expand their brand identity and show off company culture.
What is company culture?
Company culture is a concept all businesses strive to obtain and project. But, what exactly is Company Culture?
A company’s culture encompasses their shared goals, values, and general attitude about how they go about business. It’s the way people feel about the work they do and the values they believe in. It’s also where they see the company going and what they will do in order to get there.
The Benefits of Defining (and displaying) Company Culture
Companies who know their culture have one thing in common: a strong brand identity. They know who they are and who they want to be. Additionally, they know how best to hire the right people for your company’s future. Here are some of the benefits of a defined company culture:
Employee Retention. Employees are much happier when their personality aligns with a company’s culture. They tend to stay longer and will generally have a better and more productive workday.
Increased Efficiency. Companies with a strong, visual brand identity tend to see higher levels of efficiency. Everyone knows what is expected of them.
Boosted Teamwork. When everyone is working towards the same goal, teamwork is just easier. Then when those goals are visible accessible we see more comradery within departments and teams.
Improved Brand Imagery. When you invite clients into your newly renovated space, they will know you are a serious organization! As your brand voice and brand values will be fully displayed!
Ways to Showcase Your Company Culture
Looking for some good ways to visually show your company’s culture? For those companies who understand their values well enough here are some ways you can effectively express them:
Wall Wraps. Upgrade your space with wall graphics that showcase and support your company’s culture. Most of our customers will put up their core values or a company slogan a couple places throughout their building.
Floor Graphics. Many of our customers never even knew floor graphics existed or were so durable and lasting. The use of floor graphics is a great way to add a touch of your branding to wayfinding within your space.
Window Graphics. Where interior wall graphics work great indoors, window graphics will help you extend you brand outside. In fact, you can use these indoors as well on things like conference room glass!
Building Graphics. The newcomer to the graphics space is building wraps or building graphics. Not exactly ‘new’ but more so being adopted more by busines

As you drove around Los Angeles for work today, what vehicle caught your eye? Was it the shiny car fresh out of the carwash, or was it the expensive sports car? Perhaps the answer was neither – it was the work van that had a custom van wrap. If you have considered ordering a car […]

Downtown Westminster, MD was bustling Friday afternoon during the kick-off of phase 1 of MAGIC’s Autonomous Corridor Project. MAGIC, which stands for Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory, is working to improve transportation in downtown Westminster, MD with this forward-thinking project.
To help ensure the project’s success, many area businesses are donating their expertise, time, and efforts—AP Corp included!
The Autonomous Corridor Project
According to Kelly Schulz, secretary of Maryland Department of Commerce, the Autonomous Corridor Project will, “increase equity and expand opportunity for the people of Westminster and beyond.” Kelly went on to elaborate, “This has the potential to create a more connected community, a more walkable community, and to spur economic growth.” With all the strategically planned stops on this corridor, this project absolutely has this potential and then some!
Friday’s Ribbon Cutting Event
As shown in the video above, the ribbon cutting event was attended by a long list of Carroll County’s biggest names in technology. We saw drones, a library robot that helps folks find their books, FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and their remote-controlled robots, and the Olli autonomous vehicle built by Local Motors. It was a great showing for the City of Westminster!
The Autonomous Vehicle
An autonomous vehicle is a self-driving vehicle. Currently, the ones which could be used in this project are like a small bus. The main benefit of this size of vehicle is it will offer extreme versatility and agility within the Westminster, MD urban city center, neighborhoods, and campuses. Phase 2 of the project is when we will most likely learn more about the exact vehicle selected for use.
Autonomous Corridor Project Phase 1
Phase 1 of MAGIC’s Autonomous Corridor Project is what could be informally dubbed as the ‘mapping phase’. During this phase, MAGIC will work with Dynamic Dimensions Technologies (DDT), to scan the route most suitable for the Autonomous Corridor. The vehicle being used in phase 1 will be manually driven (by humans) to capture the route the autonomous vehicle will take.
As part of AP Corp’s partnership with MAGIC, AP Corp will also help wrap the autonomous vehicles with a custom, e-fleet wrap to brand the new fleet.
MAGIC Partners with AP Corp for their Fleet Branding and Fleet Wrap Installation
When asked if we could help with the Autonomous Corridor Project, AP Corp jumped at the opportunity. Tara Davis, AP Corp Creative Director stated, “The team at AP Corp absolutely loved being involved in such a forward-thinking event right in our backyard. Seeing the community’s support for the Autonomous Corridor Project and talking to the other sponsors was so exciting!”
AP Corp is Your Local Fleet Wrapping Company
AP Corp is a Maryland fleet wrapping company located in Sykesville, MD. Specializing in fleet graphics and fleet branding, AP Corp was an ideal fit for helping with branding the vehicles used in the Autonomous Corridor Project.
