Fabric Banners
“We strive to make and find wines with soul and character, wines with a story, wines that make you reach for the bottle and ask… WOW! What the heck was that?”
Boutinot conduct tasting sessions all over the world from at home in UK to across the globe in Asia. The tasting sessions provide the trade customer with an opportunity to sample wines from around the world and speak to the producers themselves. Boutinot asked for our help on their event graphics for their recent wine tasting event.
The Brief
The brief was to produce a promotional banner solution for two wine tasting events at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in London and The Point at Lancashire County Cricket Club in Manchester.
Challenge
The banner solution was to be hung from existing fixed cables so it was important that the material was lightweight. Some of the banners would sit against the windows so the client requested the material to be transparent to let daylight in. Boutinot also wanted to do the installation themselves so it was imperative that the fixtures and banners were easy to install.
Solution
A site survey was conducted to ensure that 12 banners would fit and could be installed easily in both locations. In order for the banners to hang safely, a galvanised cable and gripper system was supplied along with a cable cutter for the customer to use. The substrate was an Eco-Display fabric, which was lightweight and transparent enough to let light through but dense enough to keep the vibrancy of the client’s designs. The finished print had pockets stitched at the top and bottom for wooden dowel poles to be inserted – ensuring that the banners hung straight.
Results
The banners provided the following benefits: – Standardised solution – allowing for location variation and ensuring event consistency – Lightweight substrate – for efficient delivery costs and easy fitting – Simple to install by the client– resulting in cost effective installation – Highly visible fabric graphics – delivered on time and within budget
