Metamark 7 Series High Performance Calendered Sign Vinyl was used in a vehicle project.
Smuj Creative turns often to the Metamark M7 Coloured SignVinyl swatch for inspiration and to Metamark to supply the needed material. ‘There’s something about coloured materials that printed digital media can’t quite reproduce yet. Some colour or quality that’s baked into coloured material give it a presence and super-saturation ink can’t manage,’ said Sophie Jefferies, Smuj Creative.
One of Smuj Creative’s customers got to experience the difference first hand recently. The customer came back to Smuj having had a previously liveried vehicle from the Smuj team meet with an accident. Deciding to give the new van the Smuj treatment, the client decided to push the boat out again, just a little further.
Most of the work that Smuj undertakes involves a customised design and so it was with Yew Tree’s new vehicle. It benefits from panel inlays, cut and applied lettering and swathes of geometric colour. It’s quite a piece of work and it took some planning.
If the design could be said to be crisp, application of the Metamark M7 elements is a stage beyond that. It’s beautifully applied, and there’s not a squeegee mark in evidence anywhere and the panel work is a perfect fit too. The panels were cut on the vehicle by the Smuj team using Knifeless Tape from Metamark, and no blades went anywhere near paint.
Nobody likes to lose a van in a bump but the new vehicle wearing its stunning Smuj Creative graphics goes some way toward compensating. The vehicle has presence and just radiates professionalism and quality.
