THE BRIEF

Creative Solutions have worked on a whole host of design projects with Total Plumbing Supplies over the years. They’re one of numerous long-term business relationships that we’ve maintained through repeat business and providing consistent, high-quality products and services. From vehicle and van graphics to external signage, in Total Plumbing, we have a satisfied customer.

These types of sustained working relationships are crucial for the continued success of Creative Solutions. Not only does repeat business indicate that the work we’re carrying out is of a high standard, it also ensures that the production process is incredibly efficient. We know exactly what the client is looking for and, quite often, the job is something we’ve done before.

As was the case here.

Total Plumbing Supplies wanted us to create some vehicle graphics for a Luton van that had been recently added to their company vehicle fleet. Because the artwork had already been created, all the vector graphics were available to us, meaning that the design and production stages were made considerably more straightforward.
As for any business of Total Plumbing's size, creating a unified brand identity is vital—and there are few more effective ways to achieve this than to have consistent, high-quality fleet vehicle graphics.

Your brand is key. Establishing a coordinated, professional range of company vehicles with high-quality graphics—whether it’s a full wrap, stripes, vinyl lettering, or just sign writing—is a superb method of advertising your company to potential and existing customers.

THE SOLUTION

Creative Solutions were able complete the entire project within 24 hours, meaning that Total Plumbing Supplies didn’t require their vehicle to be off the road any longer than it needed to be—thus not diminishing the van’s advertising potential.

Like the Luton van graphics supplied earlier in the year, we used a series of high-quality materials in order to provide the best possible final aesthetic. Cut-vinyl colours were used to achieve a precise match of the logo and branding used previously. We used hexis emerald green gloss for the flat panels and cut vinyl for the text; the same coloured gloss was used for wrapping the cab, with yellow oracal for the vinyl text.

Because we digitally print with gloss laminate, the artwork certainly catches the eye. The primary colours really pop in super high-definition! The overall effect is sharp, visually dynamic and screams professionalism. Exactly what Total Plumbing Supplies were looking for.
