    I havent been posting much work in the last couple of months, so i thought i better get my finger out and get back with the flow.

    here is one of ten trucks andrew and i have wrapped in the last two weeks… the box section is 22ft by about 90 inches. the complete box is laminated digital prints, original colour was white.

    Looks good mate.

    Are these the same trucks you used to do in cut vinyl before?
    I seem to remember you wrapped some milk lorries in lots of white vinyl.
    Cheers

    Excellent Rob – much better than their old livery now that you have introduced digital into their signs. They must be delighted with that 😀

    thanks for the replies folks…

    the vinyl used is oracal digital with exact same in clear for lamination.
    fitting for full truck about 3 hours each, fitted by andrew and me.
    all application was done dry, no app tape using felt squeegee.
    i think wraps with text or lines within the design like this take a bit longer, due to alignment issues. as you can imagine, as little as 1/4inch running out on first panel is exagerated over the 22ft leaving you major problems, and possible reprint and apply.
    yes, there are various way to recover when things like this start going wrong, but unlike digital prints of pictures etc, its very difficult to hide "running off" when you have to marry up "lines and lines of text"
    anyway, the first truck was good practice to get a good method going so fittings spead up.

    yeh, this is the fleet we did in cut vinyl before. infact, i have been fitting these vans/trucks since i started my apprenticeship. 15 years ago now…
    so along with me, the grahams moved with the time. from poorly designed cut vinyl using our first cutter , a gerber 4B till today the grenadier print and cut. funny how things move forward… :lol1:

    the design is going to change depending on the trucks deliveries. we start doing another different design theme next week at some point so ill post the pics once i do those, probably next friday 😀 . i think its organic deliveris this batch is for… although the design background theme changes it still keeps to same logo, layout identity etc

    brian, yeh thats the main "dairy" but they have bought out several smaler dairies over the years so are dotted all over now.
    carrie, i am actually doing demos on these for the video forum. start to finish, complete truck wraps, done dry demos.
    hopefully this time the rain wont come on :lol1:
