A US-based KPOP branch has a stylish new look thanks to over 576sqm (6200 square feet) of wall graphics printed on Drytac ReTac by High Stakes Creative. The monochrome design, influenced by K-pop music, also included channel letter signs.
Matt Matthews has been in the sign industry for 24 years and started High Stakes Creative in 2007, specialising in the design, production and installation of branding, signage and graphics for commercial and architectural applications. ‘This project was the second time we worked with this client – they had us print and install a similar graphic package in another location last year,’ said Matthews. ‘They loved it so much, they more than quadrupled their request on this location. The installation took place over the course of several trips with four other installers.’
Drytac ReTac Smooth 150 is a 150μ (6 mil) white polymeric printable PVC film coated with ReTac ultra-removable adhesive technology, allowing graphics to be installed, removed and repositioned easily. Available in Gloss and Matte finishes and certified with several fire ratings, ReTac Smooth 150 is ideal for wall graphics in spaces such as restaurants.
‘We chose ReTac because it is a thicker film with repositionability that allowed for an easier install,’ said Matthews. ‘Most of the panels were 4.3m tall, so having that repositionability was key. Also, having a 6 mil material allowed for us to avoid lamination in areas that wouldn’t get frequent abrasion.’
He added, ‘I love ReTac – I’ve continued to use it as my go-to for a majority of my wall graphic applications. Each time I’ve made a request to Drytac, I’ve been met with thorough answers and professionalism that helps me get my clients what they need in a timely manner.’
