Typecraft Print is using an Agfa wide-format machine to produce a cut-out crowd for Cheltenham Town FC.
For £25 fans are able to have a life-size version of themselves, printed on 3mm foamex using an Agfa Anapurna M2500i wide-format press, appear at Cheltenham’s potential play-off semi final against Northampton Town.
The scheme has resulted in an initial fundraising target of £12,500 being hit in a day and 500 cut-outs dotted around the stands.
Typecraft sales and production director Matt Magovern, a Cheltenham supporter for over 30 years, said, ‘It was a really easy job to print on our flexible Agfa engine. The story really escalated, demonstrating a great club initiative that meant we gave a bit to the club and to charity too. At the end of the event all the cut outs are to be returned to their owners signed by each player at the club.’
