S & M Foods
Farm fresh poultry specialist
At High Street Signs we do a lot of vehicle livery, S & M foods needed some for their fleet of vans. We designed and planned the layout for the graphics all we now had to do was to plot the text and graphics.
Figure 19: Plotting the letters and graphics.
From our design we then went ahead in plotting (cutting) out the text and graphics on our plotter using all weathering vinyl. There was approximately 30 metres of red vinyl and 20 metres of blue to be cut out.
Figure 20: Separating the plotted vinyl from the excess vinyl.
From being cut the unwanted vinyl had to be removed from the backing paper this is a delicate operation which takes a bit of time.
Figure 21: Masking the vinyl.
To protect our text and graphics from dust and the occasional movement of letters from their position we then mask the area using masking roll.
Figure 22: The S & M van.
It was a glorious sunny day when we went to S & M foods, so applying the vinyls was not going to be difficult, but when the weather is bad and surfaces are wet, then applying vinyl is virtually impossible.
Figure 23: Positioning and measuring the graphics accurately.
We measure carefully the positions of the text and graphics in relation to our design plan. making sure that we get things right. At High Street Signs we just don't make mistakes.

Finally the van is completed and ready to go.
“ Steve did a great job on the vans they look smashing, I'm well pleased with them.”
