Case Study: Abracadabra Signs and Designs achieves 200% business growth and rapid job turnaround with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite

Helping a Growing Sign Shop Create Digital Magic

Abracadabra Signs and Designs, led by owner Steve Thomas Greer, is an Ontario-based sign shop known for hand‑illustrated cartoon characters and murals. Faced with rising demand that their traditional hand‑painting workflow couldn't meet, Abracadabra turned to CorelDRAW — using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite together with Corel Painter — to move to digital production while preserving their signature handcrafted look.

Using CorelDRAW products, Abracadabra digitized artwork in Corel Painter, converted images to scalable vectors with Corel PowerTRACE in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, and output in‑house to Roland SOLJET printers. CorelDRAW helped the shop cut turnaround from four days to six hours, run printers 8–10 hours daily, slash outsourcing costs, and grow revenue by more than 200% within a year.
