Reflective Vehicle Livery

Vehicle Livery 61

We do a lot of vehicle liveries, some have lots of , others have just one or two bits such as a logo and telephone information. Vehicle livery can be very elegant, stylish, but in the same way it can be simple and just there to get information across.

Sometimes though, vehicle livery, as in this example, can serve the purpose of getting information across and also being a safety factor. Here you can clearly see, at night, the acting to show just how large the vehicle is, which in the dark may be difficult to see.

Time Off Work Because of Swine Flu

Here’s an interesting question for you, especially if you’re a business-owner, or the recipient of the swine flu virus.

How do you know for sure if you have swine flu?

And, could this be a problem in the making for the business in terms of time off?

Well let’s answer the first question. Here’s a quick rundown of the symptoms:

  1. Fever
  2. Lethargy (in other words, having fatigue (also called exhaustion, lethargy, languidness, languor, lassitude, and listlessness). You’re tired.
  3. Lack of appetite. You’re not really interesting in eating much.
  4. Cough. You’ve got a cough that you just can’t seem to get rid of.
  5. Runny nose
  6. Sore throat
  7. Nausea and feeling dizzy. Many people who have the Swine Flu have reportedly been feeling dizzy.
  8. Vomiting
  9. Diarrhea

Clearly the second question is answered if you get a lot of employees off with swine flu. Your business could be severely affected. One thing to remember though, is that swine flu isn’t more deadly than normal flu, so just take standard cleanliness precautions, and if an employee or member of their family has it, tell them to stay off work.

Large pieces of wide format printed vinyl are useful for such things as site boards where a lot of information needs displaying in a large area. In this case as you can clearly see, the University of Huddersfield has a building site, and alongside the sidings they have these large printed vinyl sections.

The wide format printing is applied to sheets. The wide format printed vinyl itself has a layer of protective clear vinyl applied on top, right after printing, to ensure that it will last in the elements.
