It takes passion, drive, and the desire to help other people to motivate someone to go into business. What may start as learning to take care of one’s own property turns into a hobby and can quickly turn into the realization they have a natural ability that can be offered to the world. Rick Lange started Graphic Accents 25 years ago in a van and with a small vinyl plotter in his home installing pinstriping, small vinyl graphics, and small six-inch strips of paint protection film on the leading edge of the car hoods. A few years later found him moving to a storefront location and eventually to where this local vehicle wrap shop is presently located — a 5,000-square foot building with four employees and multiple large format printers that produce full custom vehicle wraps. Whether businesses in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, want to attract new customers with food truck or tow truck wraps or someone in Green, Ohio, with a Porsche wants to protect the paint job with a clear car wrap to boost their car’s future trade-in value, Graphic Accents excels at vehicle paint protection, truck graphics, and cost-effective advertising with the best vehicle wraps from Massillon, Ohio, to Independence, Ohio.
