UK exhibitions specialist, Hughes Bespoke, has added an Easymount Hybrid laminator from Vivid Laminating Technologies to its production setup, as the company looks to bring more of its graphics production in-house.
The installation of the Easymount Hybrid follows the purchase of a VeloBlade Nexus 3032 digital cutting system at the start of 2026.
The new laminator and applicator table gives the team more options when it comes to finishing graphics, working alongside the VeloBlade Nexus to keep more of the production process in-house.
Speaking about the company's investment, Kieran Hughes, owner of Hughes Bespoke, says: "This investment means faster turnaround times, greater precision, premium-quality finishes, and more bespoke solutions for our customers.
“By expanding our in-house capabilities, we’re delivering greater flexibility, improved efficiency, and even better service, reinforcing our commitment to quality, innovation, and continued growth."
The team at Hughes Bespoke has reported that the VeloBlade Nexus 3032 has provided more control over the cutting and finishing of graphics and display materials. With a 3.2m x 3m working area, the digital cutting system is suited to the larger formats often required for exhibitions and events.
Over the past ten months, the VeloBlade Nexus has allowed the team to produce custom shapes, accurately cut graphics, and create bespoke display components in-house.
As well as using Vivid's equipment for its own customer projects, Hughes Bespoke also works with Vivid to produce its own exhibition stands.
Using the VeloBlade Nexus 3032, the team can cut and produce graphics and bespoke display elements that form part of Vivid's stands at industry events, allowing them to show visitors what the VeloBlade Nexus can achieve.
Hughes adds: "Partnering with Vivid Laminating Technologies, a recognised leader in print finishing innovation, ensures we stay at the forefront of industry advancements, continually enhancing our capabilities and delivering greater value to our customers."
