Warwick Printing, based in Alberta, Canada, made use of Drytac ReTac to complete an ambitious wall mural project in a single day.
The client, South Country Co-op Liquor in Redcliff, Alberta, Canada, required Warwick to design, print and install 48 individual wall panels making up a mural spanning the store.
The installation took around eleven hours, including the set-up and tear-down of scaffolding, and involved negotiating some fragile obstacles – the bottles themselves.
‘The main challenge was figuring out how to reach the 5.2m install height with racks up against every wall without having to empty the whole store out,’ explained Lee Weighill, owner of Warwick Printing.
‘There was not enough space for even the smallest scissor lift or boom lift and regular A-frame ladders would not get us close enough to the walls in the right position. We ended up using painters’ scaffolding and had to stack two units to get high enough, but it was still a 66cm reach to the wall which made it a little more difficult.’
However, the team overcame these problems. ‘It was a good day’s work and not one bottle was knocked to the floor!’ Mr Weighill concluded.
The choice of vinyl was key to completing the job on time and in total Warwick Printing ran over 80m of Drytac ReTac Smooth 150 through its HP Latex 360 printer. This 6mm white polymeric printable PVC film is coated with ReTac ultra-removable adhesive technology on one side, making it simple to install, reposition and remove printed graphics from surfaces such as walls.
