Rapid Growth
For the next two decades, new products continued to enhance Chartpak’s reputation as a progressive innovator in many segments of the trade. In the 1970s, Chartpak introduced Velvet Touch transfer lettering, a graphic art knives center, a burnisher center, and expanded its product line to include vinyl signs, spray products, hand-cut masking film, and drafting applique film. Throughout the 1980s, Chartpak brought in the Pickett®, RapiDesign®, and AD Marker® brands as a distinct part of the corporate brand portfolio. By 1990, Chartpak became one of the largest and most experienced graphic design companies in the USA.
