Minuteman Press takes on unique wrap project

With its 25^th anniversary on the horizon, Minuteman Press Bath is celebrating recent projects such as a unique wrap project using Drytac Polar Cast.

The diversified print service provider has previously wrapped a Ford Ranger and Ford Transit van for the same customer, making this another unique challenge for the company.

The latest vehicle is a Citroen Ami, one of only six in the entire UK. Bath Painters & Decorators approached Minuteman Press Bath to take on the unique wrap project, which meant working with an unfamiliar and unusually shaped vehicle.

Needing a material with reliable adhesion and a high-quality finish, the company chose the Polar Cast which was printed onto using a HP Latex 700W.

Kieran Blacknell, operations manager at Minuteman Press Bath, explains: “This vehicle was quite compact, and the body is made of textured plastic, so it is a bit unusual to work with.

“We discussed these challenges with the team at Drytac and settled on Polar Cast with the matching Cast Gloss laminate film.” 

Minuteman Press Bath has used Drytac products since 2018, with Blacknell adding: “We use Polar Premium polymeric vinyl for a lot of our signage work, ReTac for interiors, SpotOn for short term applications and a variety of the speciality films including Polar Chrome and Polar Blockout.

“We’re always really impressed with the quality and performance of the products, and we like the fact they are manufactured in the UK. For this project the client was very happy with the results and has already had lots of interest in the vehicle; you really can’t miss it.”

Drytac’s various materials have recently been showcased in a number of unique locations such as a Los Angeles cinema, a FRIENDS television show experience in Toronto, and the MUSA exhibition in Miami, Florida.
