Applied Signs & Display Celebrate 20 Years in Business This Friday

Its hard to believe, but this year Applied Signs & Display will be celebrating 20 years in the display business, and we will be marking the occassion with a hooley this Friday, the 27th June. The event runs from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, and will feature music from Jim Farley and His Band, as well as some food and drinks. We will also be showing off our new showroom, with its 6 metre tall custom build stand featuring a large bar area, which I'm sure will come in handy on the day! We hope to see many familiar and new faces at the event and all are welcome - just email alison@appliedsigns.ie for more details.

Another New Product - Soft Image Pop Up Counter with Fabric Panel

Yet another ingenious new product in our range of premium quality, life-time guaranteed portable displays. The Soft Image Counter is highly portable, instant to set up and provides a sizeable counter top area with a high-impact fabric panel front. Like our other Stretch Fabric Pop Up Products, this stand has no magnets, so its ultra-lightweight, and the panel stays attached to the counter when its packed away, meaning it literally takes an instant to set up and take down. This stand is also digitally printed to photographic quality so there is no need to compromise quality when ordering an easy to use fabric print. The Soft Image Counter comes with a padded nylon carry bag and an internal shelf, and measures 102 cm tall, 106 wide and 39.5cm deep. This stand is available with our usual turnaround time of 5 working days, although we will always endeavour to meet shorter deadlines if at all possible.

New Product Alert - Extra-Wide, Extra-Tall Roller Banner for A Real Visual Impact

We are thrilled to announce the addition of a wider, taller Roller Banner Stand to our display stand collection. The Classic Roll Up Banner is 1.15 metres wide and 2.15 metres tall, meaning it has an impressive impact and presence perfect for use in larger venues, when you still need instant and ultra portable branding. These stands have already proved popular, our first batch selling out in a fortnight! We have also adapted these by making them 2m tall for some customers who wish to use them in height-restricted areas in the future. As with all our displays, these stands are premium quality with a lifetime hardware warranty, and the panel is made from flexible vinyl rather than laminated paper, so expect to great great value from the Classic Roll Up Banner onver the lifetime of the stand. They are also ultra-light weight at only 6.1kg, which is a real selling point for a stand of this size. Lights are available in a co-ordinating silver colour.

Nomadic Display's Eco-Friendly Fabric Initiative

Nomadic Display have announced their latest in a long line of green initiatives, the introduction of Eco-Fi Velcro Friendly Fabric. This fabric is made with polyester created entirely from recycled plastic bottles. This fabric is then used to make the velcro-friendly fabric panels which Nomadic's customers have been using for decades. The Eco-Fi panels are at present available in two colour/texture options but the palette will expand as new eco-friendly materials are incorporated and technologies developed by Nomadic Display's production team.

The introduction of Eco-Fi fabric follows on from other green policies such as minimising the use of solvent-based adhesives in 2006, and the on-going use of recycled and recyclable aluminium, plastic, wood and cardboard in Nomadic's frames, cases and laminate panels.

Applied Signs & Display Help the OPW Signpost Bloom 2008

Bloom 2008 comes to town tomorrow and it promises to be a huge attraction over the June bank holiday weekend. Hosted by Bord Bia in association with Tesco, Keelings, OPW, Pfizer and Failte Ireland, this event will feature a number of 'Show Gardens' including a Health and Wellness Garden, sponsored by Pfizer, and Sandscape Garden, sponsored by Ford, and a Serenity Garden, sponsored by Urban Landscape Design.

For our part, Applied Signs & Display are providing extensive informational signage for the OPW which will allow visitors to Bloom to find their way easily around the Pheonix Park Event. We have also provided attractive pop up display stands with graphic panels to both the Royal Horticultural Society of Ireland and the Gardeners and Landscape Designers Association, as well as Pull Up Banner Stands for Mad Flowers.

Nomadic Display's 24 Hour Lifeline for Customers in a Jam!

After seeing the recent post on Nomadic Display's blog about a Belgian Company whose C34 Pop Up Display Stand was lost by their freight company on the morning of an important show, I was reminded of the huge value of the 24 Hour Customer Lifeline available to Nomadic Display's customers.

This service is not simply a telephone answer line which will be answered any time of day or night - it actually allows customers to receive new or replacement products, repairs, graphics etc. anywhere around the world and without worrying about time differences. So if you have travelled to the US to take part in a large scale expo and half of your equipment goes astray, or an accident befalls your shiny new laminate panels as they are being unpacked, you can have your products replaced, repaired etc. in record time. This is possible due to the extent of Nomadic Display's dealer network. Unlike display companies claiming worldwide coverage with a presence in 18 countries, Nomadic Display have authorised distributors in a staggering 30 countries, all with the in depth product knowledge and high production criterea to meet Nomadic Display's standards.

This is yet another advantage that Nomadic Display have over other producers, and one that is unfortunately often over-looked. With international trade growing in importance each year, it is a service which will become increasingly important to customers and will continue to single out Nomadic Display as the premium provider of display and exhibition solutions.

Graphic Backdrop for DAA 'Airport City' Announcement

The weekend before last we got to flex our conference muscles yet again when we produced and set up the graphic backdrop for the Dublin Airport Authority's announcement of plans to create a high-rise Airport City at Dublin Airport in Cloghran. The proposal includes 600000 square metres of office space and would be expected to lead to the creation of 30000 jobs, 10000 of which would be new jobs. To complement this announcement the DAA used an extensive backdrop, a projection screen, podium graphics and other displays, along with lighting and an impressive scaled model of the planned development. For more information on creating an impressive display like this contact sean@appliedsigns. Footage of the event and branding can be seen by clicking on the movie camera symbol below the header, here.
