The final Restoration Box truck wrap in the Los Angeles market was completed yesterday. This was the end to a remote installation project in Los Angeles that SignWorks managed from our location in San Leandro. The project took several months to complete and involved eight trucks. The installers did an amazing job that involved coordinating drop off and pick up dates with individual drivers, as well as staff at Home Delivery Link (the delivery arm for Restoration Hardware merchandise).
We are thrilled to have been selected to help Restoration Hardware develop a truck wrapping strategy that solved some of their past issues with color banding. In the past the corporate colors (both grey) had been printed onto vinyl and then applied or wrapped onto the vehicle surface. Unfortunately, the process for printing grey, even on very high end printers can lead to banding. (This is also true of a few other dark colors as well). We proposed using a stock high performance vinyl in a grey that closely matched the corporate color scheme. This approach provided uniformity of color though it required highly skilled installers because high performance vinyl is not a specialty “conformable” vinyl like those typically used on vehicle wraps.
We are excited about the follow-on project to wrap the Bay Area truck fleet and will keep you abreast of the schedule once it is confirmed. If you are about thinking about a fleet graphics or wrap project here locally, or one that involves managing a remote installation component, give SignWorks a call at 510-357-2000 or email us at info@signworks.us.com.
