Although better known for fabricating high-end building signage and architectural graphics, Art Display Co. (Capitol Heights, MD) displayed its versatility by executing this wrap for Suburban Bros’ sandwich truck, which patrols Montgomery County, MD. Art Display’s designer Sean McCabe created the client’s logo and cartoonish imagery from scratch by hand, and scanned and perfected them using CorelDRAW X4 and Adobe CS5.
McCabe said, “We created a high-resolution image that we had to split into sections to keep the file size manageable. It was a very labor-intensive process, but well worth the effort.”
Art Display printed the graphics with 3M’s Controltac IJ180-10C with Comply air-release media on a Seiko IP-6900 104-in., solvent-ink printer. The job required 14 panels, which measure 8 ft. tall and 48-52 in. wide. The fabrication team used Wasatch’s SoftRIP 6.1 to proof the printing process, and coated the finished wrap with 3M’s 8519 luster-finish overlaminate.
Arthur Goldberg, Art Display Co.’s executive vice president, said, “We enjoy challenges, and vehicle wraps provide a great opportunity to create powerful branding for our customers.”
