They were also used extensively in the graphic arts industry, for product advertising and packaging.The company, which began as the Conti-Glo Division of Continental Lithograph Corporation, became Switzer Brothers, Inc., and later, Day-Glo Corporation, and was sold in 1986 to Nalco Chemical Corporation.
