About Robert Crowder and Company
Founded in the late 1940’s Robert Crowder and Company is a fully integrated design and manufacturing firm specializing in
the Hospitality Industry. Our company is an abundantly staffed design firm capable of designing from the ground up which
provides clients with a truly one of a kind wallcovering. The majority of production includes some form of hand processed
techniques including silk screening.
Our firm has extensive experience working with independent designers as well as large scale design, decorating, and
architectural firms. Our portfolio of projects includes modest residential plans all the way up to large budget hotel projects.
Although the Firm prides itself on providing a fully custom design and production service, Robert Crowder and Company
has an extensive product line, which includes collections of wallcovering design and textures that span nearly 50 years. The
collection ranges from traditional classic to contemporary and everything in between. The designs showcased on this
website are only a snippet of our full product line which includes literally thousands of designs. We strive towards
bringing out new designs to the market daily. Our current collection ranges from hand done textures and silk screened
designs to multi- colored murals and scenics.
Digital Production Department
About 90% of our wallcovering projects are done through either a hand done technique or silk screening method or a
combination of both. We recently expanded our firm to include a fully integrated color managed digital production
department. This new department has given our design team the ability to turn around samples quicker.
With the use of large format scanners and digital printers, the digital production team is able to take in line drawn designs,
scan them, and prepare acetate films for screen printing. Before the advent of scanning this whole process would take
several days to weeks and each modification would extend that lead time substantially.
This technology has allowed our designs to focus more on designing by eliminating much of the manual work previously
required. Today we look at a turnaround anywhere from half a day to a couple of days. The digital production department
also includes 5 large format printers that are available for full production. This end of the department was created to
complement our hand done silk screened designs. There are certain techniques and effects that hand done print methods
cannot achieve and likewise digital production has its limitations also. For instance our digital printers cannot emulate the
physical textures created by some of our hand done techniques nor can it print metallics or whites as of yet. To resolve this
issue we created a hybrid method of printing which involves creating a hand done background and printing digitally on
top of it. To provide design and production capabilities.
