Manchester-based Pelican Press has produced a range of promotional material for advertising agency CheethamBellJWT.

The multifaceted job comprised posters, leaflets, folders and invitations promoting the arrival of a Japanese high-speed bullet train at the National Railway Museum in York.

Around 150,000 items were produced, with print runs ranging from 500 to 100,000.

The striking red illustrations of a bullet train representing the Japanese national flag were produced on a range of paper stocks of varying weights, and finishing techniques included varnish, laminating and die-cutting.

"CheethamBell works for the top companies so its quite an endorsement to be used by them," said managing director Anthony Crow.
