Introduction

Since 1993 we have successfully developed and produced effective display solutions, designed to enhance product sales and foster consumer interest in retail product and brand.

Our knowledge, experience and understanding of the consumer buying process has been founded on projects extending across the full spectrum of retail environments from multiple grocery to the high street independent, from the bulk purchase to the impulse sale.

We understand the ever increasing need of fast response to brief and for regular updated communication throughout a project.

In addition we place a strong emphasis on attention to detail, appreciate the need for display point of difference and value engineering and always look to improve on estimated lead times of the finished concept to the end user.

The process

Design

Many of our most effective display ideas have started life on the sketch pad and often at the initial briefing meeting. Selected routes are then refined on our 3D programmes using both PC and Apple Mac based systems.

Development

The selected concept then passes through our 3D CAD technical development toward the prototype stage when particular emphasis is placed on specification, client preferences and the targeted retailer’s parameters.

Artwork

From your supplied elements and/or working closely with your agency we develop the final look of the POS graphic elements.

Prototype

The chosen route is then developed to a full working sample using the proposed production method and materials.

Full Production, Packing, Palletisation and Delivery

The same attention to detail continues throughout the production, packing and delivery process as well as installation if required.
