Time constraint no problem for Millharbour Digital

Millharbour Digital took on a time-constrained challenge and won, when they agreed to provide the graphics for the STEM awards, which are sponsored by The Telegraph.

Millharbour Digital used Arlon vinyl from CMYUK to create the graphics that lined the walls, which included sponsors, imagery, and previous winners

The awards give undergraduates from science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) the opportunity to win £25,000 and prove their talents to big names from the industry.

Sushi Samba played host to the lunchtime event in London, and Millharbour were given the task of decking out the venue. The firm chose to use CYMUK Arlon vinyl to create the digitally printed graphics. As Sushi Samba had to resume their day after the event, the graphics needed to be installed quickly prior to the event, and taken down just as fast.

The challenge did not prove too difficult for the firm. Simon Beattie, account manager at Millharbour, comments: “We needed to print and install the graphics in a very short timeframe and—having spoken to the team at CMYUK—Arlon 4300 DFP matte removable vinyl seemed to be the ideal solution.

“We had to quickly install the printed graphics onto multiple—and sometimes challenging—surfaces, including mosaic walls, wooden facades, glass windows and painted walls. The Arlon material provided by CMYUK allowed us to do exactly that. Thanks to the flexibility of the film and its ultra-low tack formulation, we were able to stretch it around corners, cut it around plug sockets, and move it into position with ease.”

Beattie continues: “Following the event, the customer was able to cleanly remove the printed materials without any damage to the surfaces onto which it had been applied. The feedback from our client was very positive. They said that the graphics looked fantastic, and professional, and helped to make the awards a real success.” 

Group director at CMYUK, Robin East, finishes: “The team at Millharbour are always looking for innovative materials to add value for their clients. It’s great to see applications achieved from our materials—especially in one of my very favourite restaurants!”
