The Hole Story

The proprietor of the Carriage Trade Cheese shop approached Jeff Chudoff, owner of Maple Shade, NJ-based Arizona Designs Inc., about wrapping her 2010 Nissan Cube to resemble a block of Swiss cheese, with the store’s logo as a label. Using Adobe Photoshop®, he tiled a photo of the cheese to create the wrap design and transformed the client’s vector-art logo.

The 150-sq.-ft wrap incorporated Avery Dennison’s Graphics and Reflective-Product Div.’s Avery 1005 Supercast wrap vinyl, which is protected by Avery’s DOL 1000 overlaminate. Arizona Designs produced the graphics on the shop’s Roland DGA Corporation VersaCAMM SP-540 printer/cutter using eco-solvent inks, and applied the topcoat to the print on its Royal Sovereign 64-in. laminator. To devise the window graphics, Chudoff used Solvex perforated, window film.

To complete installation, the shop removed the Cube’s mirrors, but installed the wrap seamlessly around the remaining body. Chudoff said, “It was relatively easy to install on the Cube’s sides, but the front and rear bumpers were challenging due to their radii. Proper installation on them requires above-average skills.”
