It’s a marvel how quickly technology now allows access so people can access money and financial records. However, extreme weather and natural disasters can instantly negate such advances and leave people with a 19th-Century level of disconnection. Suncoast Credit Union, a Florida-based financial institution, created a mobile banking unit that allows customers bank access in the wake of hurricanes or other disasters.

Suncoast contracted Thomas Sign & Awning Co. Inc. (Clearwater, FL) to develop the wrap. The shop created the design, which replicates the appearance of a comfortable financial institution, using Adobe Creative Suite 6, and fabricated the graphics with 3M™’s Envision™ 480Cv3 white vehicle-wrap film on a VUTEk QS 3220 UV-cure-ink printer. To protect the wrap, Thomas Sign & Awning Co. Inc. with Envision 8548G gloss-finish overlaminate, which is applied on a Royal Sovereign RSC-1650 HR pressure laminator. Sign-Age of Tampa Bay Inc. installed the wrap.
