Using Cable Displays To Highlight Your Shop Window

November 7th, 2011

We have recently revamped the cable displays section on our website to give you a greater choice and flexibility, allowing you to create bespoke wire displays for windows and shop floors.

We have ensured we have a cable display product for everyone, from standalone cable poster holder kits and suspended leaflet dispenser kits to a combination of the two, as well as being able to purchase all the cable display components separately.
All cables used are 1.5mm diameter, ultra strong galvanised steel cable to hold a selection of media pockets securely in place. Our poster pockets come in a range of popular sizes and are made from clear Acrylic for optimal viewing. Leaflet dispenser kits are a great way to distribute brochures, pamphlets, magazines and other promotional material.
Every kit has the option for wall to wall, wall to floor or floor to ceiling connectors to cater for your retail space. Easy to assemble with fixing kits included.

We also have a great range of freestanding cable displays enabling you to display cable components anywhere in your shop without having to connect any cables to walls or ceilings.

November 12th, 2010

We are committed to staying ahead of the competition with the latest in display equipment and as such have just updated part of our literature rack range. As well as the new bamboo literature holder we mentioned in our last post, we have procured a unique stow away literature stand that can be folded away with your promotional material still on it making it ideal for exhibitions and events.

It has a unique design that allows you to leave your literature in the brochure holder as you fold it for transportation. When you have finished the show, simply fold the unit flat with your brochures or catalogues in place and you’re done. No need to fill or empty the unit.

Benefits of Our Safety Barrier Range

October 29th, 2010

People have been asking us recently how big the safety difference is between a normal crowd control barrier and our safety retractable belt barrier with patented braking system, so we decided to make a video comparing the two. The first barrier being shown is a normal retractable barrier, the second is the barrier with safe belt release.

As you can see there is quite a noticeable difference between the two, and the added safety of the latter proves to be worthwhile in public areas where safety is key. Definitely worth investing in if you plan on using the barrier in public places.

We also managed to get a video of the belt in action being tested, obviously in day to day use it wont see anything like this much use in its lifetime, but we invest our time is sourcing the best quality products, when the market is currently flooded with cheap imports.


London 2012 Olympics Logo Controversy

October 4th, 2010

As a big part of our business is design and printing, we are always interested in trends and big news stories in the world of graphic design, and we’re shocked at the announcement of the London 2012 Olympics logo, which has been surrounded in controversy.
A positive aspect of this is that it gets people talking, building awareness and coverage, but is it a case of all publicity is good publicity or could it have a harmful effect on the branding of the London Olympics.

The aim of the logo is to reach out to the youth and reflect the vibrant nature of the city of London and is the first time the same logo has been used for both the Olympics and the Paralympics. So far it has garnered mostly negative feedback, but the people involved are adamant that people will take to it as the games draw closer.

In comparison with the London logo, the latest logo from Rio De Janeiro for the 2016 Olympics is quite different. The logo above the words represents the famous Sugar loaf mountain and incorporates the same colours as the Brazilian flag, Yellow, Green and Blue as can be seen below.

In my opinion this a far fresher looking brand and reflects more accurately the venue for the Olympics. At least the London logo stirs come conversation and captures the topics of the nation unlike Beijing’s drab efforts as seen below.
