Vehicle Livery 69
The light silvery colour of this new van in the picture contrasts very well with the vehicle livery applied, especially the large business name.
The separate text underneath is black, to both contrast with the van colour and the logo colour. Both are applied using cut vinyl, but also note that there are logos on the side door and the back, which are created using wide format printed vinyl, where the design is printed onto vinyl.
This kind of vehicle livery takes a little longer to apply, but from the picture you can see that the visual display is very impressive.

This is one of the many occasions that calls for something called wide format printing, a method of printing patterns and letters onto large pieces of vinyl.
Maps are especially difficult to produce otherwise, and this is the strong point for wide format printing, getting lots and lots of details into one small area without any loss of quality.

Vinyl Sign 60
We do design, create and manufacture a lot of wide format printed signs, but sometimes they are quite large and interestingly challenging, just like this one.
With strong single colours, such as the dark blue and the lighter blue, the quality has to be picture perfect, and this is one reason we ask for vector-based images rather than bitmaps (see here for our blog entry).
The resulting wide format printed vinyl is clean and clear.
It should be noted that in this case, the printed vinyl is applied to a strong aluminium composite sheet.

Vinyl Sign 61
Some wide format printed vinyl signs that we create are not as simple as others, and some like this one are full of useful information, so they have to be created and crafted carefully. In this case the customer provided the artwork.
Although you can’t see this, this is a wide format printed vinyl sign that is printed onto a vinyl substrate that is bonded to an aluminium blank.
You might also notice the multitude of corporate symbols along the bottom of the sign, these have to be large enough to be seen when reading the sign, but also not too large as to be in the way.

Banner Sign 8
I bet that like most people, you think that banners are things you string across a road, or in a town hall for a reunion. Banners are much more than that.
These days the wide diversity of materials that can be used for banners is staggering, each has its own purpose. Some are single-sided, others allow the wind to flow through them, others are dense and very rugged, some may be double-sided, but all of them share one thing in common – they can go everywhere signs can go.
An interesting example is this type of banner, vertically suspended instead of being a wide horizontal banner.
The wording and patterns that appear on banners, especially ones like this one, are printed directly on using wide format printing.

Wide Formating Printing 56
We readily admit that the vast majority of wide format printing gets printed onto vinyl, then the vinyl gets applied to the substrate, be it aluminium composite, or glass on-site. But that doesn’t mean that wide format printing is limited to vinyl – and here is a great picture that shows it – canvas instead of vinyl.
The canvas is used out of aesthetic choice in this case, and grouped together they look really great. Here you can see two of them sat together, but finally in-situ they would be placed on a wall in groups of three.
The wide format printing produced a really great print, very realistic and lifelike, they certainly made us think of food when we were making them!
