How two into one goes with a van

Two firms, one van and one tricky brief. That was the conundrum facing Elite Signs of Bridgend in South Wales when they were charged with combining the signage on one van for Teula Furniture and A-One Construction

Both firms are based at Millers Avenue, in the town and use the same Citroën Relay to save on costs.

Simon James of Elite Signs and Graphics says: “Incorporating two businesses on one vehicle isn't always the easiest to do, but with this Citroën Relay for Teulu Bespoke Furniture and A-One Construction we came up with a design that flattered them both.

“Recreating the badge logo design that Teulu use on their completed projects, we introduced an elegant watermark design with gold detail for the background, and combined that with high quality metallic dark grey vinyl lettering to further enhance the high-end appearance, printed onto Metamark MD5. The van makes a great first impression and shows that this company is professional and high quality.”

Unlike other forms of advertising, our digitally printed and laminated vehicle wrapping vinyl has a high durability of between three and five years”

James is evangelical about the benefits of vehicle graphics. He says: “Unlike other forms of advertising, our digitally printed and laminated vehicle wrapping vinyl has a high durability of between three and five years (if you follow the recommended care guidelines). And our premium grade Metamark vinyl has a seven to ten-year outdoor durability life span, which is guaranteed against fading, shrinking, and cracking.”
