MetaGrab® MDU High Performance Digital Media with Ultra Tack Adhesive was used in a signage project for a microbrewery.
Blackpool-based Links Signs and Graphics got a call to provision a sign on JimBrew’s newly occupied premises. The Links Signs and Graphics team went looking for a solution and picked up the phone to Metamark’s man in the area, Tim Dawson. Dawson had no hesitation in recommending Metamark’s MDU, featuring MetaGrab® adhesive for the job. It’s a sticks-to-anything member of Metamark’s MD-Class printable material portfolio but, being white, would ‘be ideal’, said Dawson, for what Links Signs and Graphics had in mind.
The sign itself is a relatively simple cut-and-applied graphic that simply says JIMBREW with an outlining treatment to break up the words. It’s applied vertically and is brilliantly legible.
It was the Links Signs and Graphics’ teams first outing with MDU and it took two attempts to get a result that satisfied Links Signs and Graphics’ very high standards for quality. The finished article looks like crisply executed paint, hugging the bricks’ texture, but make no mistake, it’s digital print media.
The Links team worked the material into the wall’s textured surface using skilled hands and plenty of heat to help the conformability and ultimate bond of the adhesive. If and when the sign needs to be removed, the same techniques will see it done and a clean surface will remain.
