Vancouver-based graphics production and installation company Premier Graphics recently completed an impactful window graphics project for a vegan food business.
The shop was approached by The Very Good Food Company and construction firm Pacific Solutions Contracting in late 2020 to produce window graphics to cover up building work taking place at a retail location in Mount Pleasant, one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods.
The project challenged the sign shop to create graphics that not only offered a high impact and high contrast design, but also allowed adequate ambient light to pass into the building to assist with ongoing construction work inside. The film also needed to cover 6.4-m (21-ft) tall window panels.
For this job, the team selected Drytac SpotOn Matte White monomeric polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film, which featured a ‘dot pattern’ adhesive for bubble-free application.
“As our vertical panels were so tall, having a material with minimal stretch and good adhesion during cold temperatures on our December install day was crucial for a great final product with minimal seams,” said the shop’s general manager, Taylor Sellinger. “The film met all the challenges, and our panel registration was completely accurate, even while working with such long individual panels.”
The graphics—which were printed using an HP Latex 365 printer—will only remain in place for six months. Sellinger said it was also important the material they selected could be easily removed without leaving any residue on the windows.
