Instore show feed back

admin — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 09:37:53 +0000

Feed back from the show has been very encouraging. We were asked quite a few times to stand aside while visitors took pictures or videos of the stand which we consider a massive compliment. Quite a few exhibitors have also taken our details for help on their fourth coming shows (even a competitor)!

The show organizer even mentioned that if they gave awards for innovative design and best stand, our entry would have been right up there! We are very proud of this.

Our stand design has given us recognition with show visitors – weeks after the show and even now, Sam and Dan regularly get referred to as ‘Superman’.

Exhibition is a HUGE SUCCESS

We recently exhibited at the IN-STORE Show at Olympia and the response we got from our stand design and production was second to none.

From concept to production, the stand needed to stand out in the crowds and showcase our capabilities. This is what we came up with as the original concept……

We decided to go for a bright retro SUPER HERO theme that would include printed walls, flooring, stand-off graphics, plinth, stools, display table and unit.

The plinth was made out of timber and wrapped with foam PVC graphics. Spot-lights were fixed inside the unit and small windows were cut out to give a great visual effect. An acrylic top finished off the display and made it look truly in character to a super hero scene.

The display unit was also made of wood and wrapped with foam PVC graphics. A LCD screen was built into the top of the display to create a slide show with fitting music.

The stand-off graphics were printed directly to foam PVC and cut to shape on our CNC machine. To enhance the effect, spot-lights were shone on the speech bubble stand-offs and green neon lights were install behind the super hero stand-offs.

To give the visual impact of the New York sky line, we felt the floors were as important as the walls so we need to print these also. Therefore a false floor was erected with split battens and a tong & groove floor. The floor boards were then covered with direct to media printed 3mm Foam PVC straight off our Arizona printer and anti-slip laminate was added for safety and protection.

… and here are the results from weeks of planning and production….

To authenticate the stand, Dan and Sam dressed the part and were overwhelmed with requests (especially the ladies)!

GOOD NEWS – ‘We are moving’

We are pleased (and relieved) to announce we are moving to a purpose fitted factory a ‘stones throw’ from our current location.

After six years of growth, it is now time to expand into a unit twice the size of the current factory. This shall provide us with more opportunity to grow and develop our product range.

In the past year we have invested in the Oce Arizona flat bed printer and a CNC cutter. There just isn’t room for any more room!

The final move date is yet to be announced but is expected late August. Please watch this space!
