Warwick Printing
Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
South Country Co-op Liquor in Redcliff, Alberta, Canada, called upon Warwick Printing to design, print, and install 48 individual wall panels to encompass their liquor store and spell out “Cheers Redcliff” to their customers. “The main challenge was figuring out how to reach the 17-foot-tall install with racks up against every wall without having to empty the whole store out,” says Lee Weighill, owner, Warwick Printing. “It was a good day’s work and not one bottle was knocked to the floor!” To complete the installation, Warwick printed the graphics using an HP Latex 360 printer onto Drytac Retac Smooth 150 polymeric PVC film.
Tip: If you’re ever in a retail installation situation where you can’t use a boom lift or ladder, consider using painters’ scaffolding like Warwick did for this project. They had to stack two units on top of each other to reach the desired height on the wall, but they made it happen without having to empty the liquor out of the store.
Loris Printing
Sandusky, Ohio
Loris Printing has been assisting Tuffman Equipment and Supply, a construction and residential equipment company, with its marketing and branding efforts for the last few years. Recently, Tuffman came up with a new marketing design, and they needed Loris Printing’s expertise to update the exterior of their building. Using a ValueJet 1624X large-format printer from Mutoh America, Loris printed the new logo onto Mactac Imagin Roughrap wall wrapping film and laminated it using Mactac Permacolor Rayzor clear matte overlaminate. The graphic, printed onto four panels, totals 10 by 8.5 feet wide.
Tip: Mactac’s Roughrap was designed to install on tough services, like the brick exterior of Tuffman Equipment and Supply’s building. Utilizing the right media can really decrease the stress involved with an installation.
