Killer App: Lorry livery? That's a wrap

Creative FX, the vehicle wrapping specialist, has helped kitchen and furniture manufacturer Stoneham Kitchens improve its brand visibility after wrapping the company's new fleet of vehicles.

What was the project? The Bromley-based business has vinyl-wrapped the company’s five lorries with a faux peel-back design that help encourage pedestrians to visit its website while showing a preview of kitchen.

How was the job produced? The job took a month to complete and involved Creative FX producing the company’s new designs in-house through its bespoke design service. Printing of the vehicle liveries took place on Creative’s Uniform Grenadier SP-1400C print and cut machine. The high-speed solvent inkjet printer output onto Avery vinyl stock before cutting the designs into shape.

What challenges were overcome? Application of the vinyls took place at a truck workshop in Tonbridge. According to Sean Davis, director at Creative FX, tight deadlines and applying the materials in a confined space presented the only challenges.
"The new vehicles are a vast improvement over their predecessors, which only carried the logo of the company. What is now a striking effect was also cost-effective as only part of the lorry is covered," he added.

What was the feedback? Adrian Stoneham, managing director, said: "We wanted to create consistency across all points of customer contact. As a premium brand with a Royal warrant, smart corporate vehicle livery is essential to our brand image.
"Creative FX’s professionalism, expertise and ability to respond rapidly to our requirements makes them an excellent business partner."
