What we did

Client: Techco Security
Sector: Security
Area: Signage
Type of work: Fleets
Location: Spain

Full livery for the Techco Security fleet of small vans, of the Berlingo or Partner type. Each unit receives the logo, a set of curved yellow stripes running along the side, the strapline 'Solutions beyond security' and the contact details: phone number and web address. The whole scheme was produced in printed vinyl, with the same composition repeated unit after unit.

The challenge

The curved stripes are the most demanding element: they cross the sliding door, the side shut line and the wheel arch, and any deviation of a few millimetres is visible at a glance when two vans are parked side by side. The strapline also had to keep its reading size without encroaching on windows or handles.

Our solution

The artwork was prepared to scale on the model's actual side elevation and the stripes were split into panel-by-panel sections, with registration marks so they join over the shut lines without the seam showing. Large-format digital printing on cast vinyl, laminated to protect the yellow from UV, and wet application with prior positioning using set-out tape. The panels were degreased and primed, heat-conformed at the wheel arch and lower moulding, and the edges and shut lines finally worked back.
