Wrap It in Vinyl #1

Vinyl Wrap Proof for Fireworks Ute

The application of vinyl car wraps to vehicles (or vehicle wrapping) is becoming significantly popular among both businesses and private consumers as a means of branding, customizing or refreshing your vehicle’s look.

So why are people opting for this option over the traditional repaint? Here are our reasons why:

Saving your $$$

You could be looking at big money for a high-end paint job. At Fireworks Digital, we can provide your vehicle with a high-end vinyl wrap at the fraction of the cost. Depending on your budget, you could spend minimal costs on a half wrap or only apply small decals on the vehicle in certain areas i.e. back window one-way vision or driver’s door etc. Even if you wanted to opt for a full wrap service and cover most of the vehicle surface, it would still most likely be cheaper than a paint job.

No wait times

Unlike a repaint, where you can be waiting weeks to use your car again, a vehicle wrap with Fireworks Digital is quick and easy. Our expert team can assist you from design, print and application with a super-fast turnaround time to suit you and your business.

Design something entirely yours!

Completely customisable and personalised to what you want. Choose your colour, your finish and any design or pattern you desire. With all this flexibility, you won’t see anyone else with your tailored design and your vehicle will feature a wrap that is one of a kind! Vinyl wraps are idea for business owners

More freedom and flexibility

You can choose any hi-res image to print.

You can choose between either a gloss or a matte finish.

You can opt for a full car wrap or only apply vinyl in sections.

You can also continue your graphic / print across onto most windows with one-way vision.

Not only can you have whatever you like but if you want to change it over, it’s as easy as removing the graphic and applying a new. Or if you would like to revert to your original paint, you have the easy option to do so.

Maintain the original manufacturers paint

Temporarily change and customize your vehicles look while still protecting the original paint. Keeping the original manufacturers paint will help you maintain the value of your vehicle when you go to sell. Wrapping your vehicle gives you the freedom to update your look without it costing you value off the car.

Client Review: The Australian Road Safety Foundation

Our long-term client, the Australian Road Safety Foundation recently held their annual, Australian Road Safety Awards in Albert Park, Melbourne. We were asked to create 2 separate large-scale fabric prints for the event. One to act as a backdrop and the other a media wall background for attendees to take photos.

ARSF were very pleased with the results, saying…
“Recently we had Fireworks print our fabric prints for our Awards Luncheon and we were delighted with how they turned out. We have worked with Fireworks for over 10 years and we are extremely happy with their products and service. They have been helpful in bringing our small and large-scale projects to life through production, print and design.”

Over the past decade, we have worked together with ARSF on numerous campaigns to support and promote road safety in Australian. One of our favourites was a giant 6-metre key that was signed by road users as a pledge towards keeping our Australian roads safe.

As we always have, we love working with the team at Australian Road Safety Foundation and look forward to the upcoming projects for 2018 and beyond.

Quick Fire Fabric Framing System

Introducing our Quick Fire Fabric Framing System.

A quick assembling and easily changeable display, suitable in almost every setting.

Printed direct to fabric, this system produces a high quality graphic display on a large, mold-able material that is pulled firm into a secure frame base.

This product is extremely versatile and can be used as a light box or media wall. In the larger sizes, this product can also be used as a divider or backdrop for pop ups and exhibitions.

How it works

An attachment is sown to the edge of the fabric print at the exact measurements of the frame display.

The attachment is then fitted into the frame for smooth and seamless look. The frame can be transported  and then built at the desired location as a temporary form of signage.

Various interchangeable fabric prints can be created at the specifications of the frame to be used for different purposes, promotions or events.

Steve and Andy Take China!

It is a well-known fact that the digital arena is continually advancing with new and exciting products emerging and developing all the time. As a supplier, we want to stay ahead of the curve and provide our clients with the newest in digital media and displays.

Earlier this month, two of our Fireworks team members travelled to China on a quest to source the latest in LED Technology and Signage. I met up with our Technical Services Manager, Andy for an interview to discuss the trip and all things food, culture and of course, technology!

K: Welcome back! I’ve seen some of the photos already and can’t wait to know more. How was it!?

A: It was such a great trip overall. Really good to experience a completely different culture and see some unbelievable forms of signage and displays.

K: Walking into the exhibition, what grabbed your attention first?
A: I didn’t know where to look! As I walked in, my eyes were immediately draw to a massive 2.5-metre-tall and 5-metre-wide LED tunnel with an LED floor display. You were surrounded by LED displays everywhere you looked. The colours were bright and engaging and it took me quite some time to take it all in.

K: Comparing the cities, how far behind would you say Brisbane City is to Guangzhou, China in terms of LED technology?
A: They are on a completely different level! the technology is available and I would love to see Brisbane lit up in the same way. It would be a massive project for Brisbane.

K: What was your favourite LED Screen?
A: Hard to choose just one but I’d have to choose the display they called it “the mask’ and it really speaks for itself. It was made from all different shaped LED screens to create a 3D mask. I’ve never seen like that before.

 K: What was your favourite food and where was it at?
A: It was very hard to find an explanation of what was being served in different restaurants. A lot of the time we had to choose what we wanted from pictures. Saying this, my favourite meal was the pork knuckle at 1920 Restaurant and Bar.

K: Heard you went bar hoping as well. What was your favourite spot?
A: I’d pick ‘Beer Box’ – A hidden bar with beers from all over the world and a sneaky whisky. Great little spot.

K: Which product would you like to see operating in Australia most and why?
A: Something that would be interesting would be a digital screen with a camera that displays an image of you and places items of clothing on you. You use hand gestures to change to the next option of clothing. This wasn’t 100% refined but I can see the technology getting there in the near future.

K: Top 3 products and why?
A: It’s hard to pick because they can all be used so differently but I’ll give you my top three:

1. Translucent Digital Display – I don’t think the photos or the videos really do this product justice but in the video, you can see a fish and a coke can display over a vending machine. So visually engaging and you can virtually display anything!

2. The P 1.2 Indoor LED Display – This screen was produced 4K Video – super high quality and such a crisp image display.

3. The double sided curved OLED TV – It is next level in screen displays. I believe we will be showcasing this product soon.

K: What was the biggest challenge you faced while you were there?

K: Highest point of the trip?
A: Probably the business class high speed train outside of the LED and Digital Technology. That was pretty great! From Shenzhen to Guangzhou at 300km p/h.

A: Without a doubt, the language barrier.

K: So would you go back again?
A: For sure! Next year, I will make sure it happens!

There you have it! All in all, the China trip was a massive success that brought forth great products and new exciting ideas for our team to try. We can’t wait to showcase these new products to our clients and start creating engaging displays that can compete with some of the world’s most impressive and forward thinking displays.

The Importance of Laminating

Adding Value to your printed graphics

Whether it be a gloss laminate to increase saturation and depth of colours or a matt finish to softens colours and contracts and provide a non-reflective finish; a laminated image can enhance the quality of your print.

Laminated prints will also provide a protection to your prints and safe guard your artwork from scratching and chemicals. It will also protect your print from graffiti and provide a non-slip textured surface for floor graphics.

A laminated print is also a lot easier to install. This is very handy if you plan on moving or re-using you print also. It will make your print stronger and more durable, more suitable for transport and moving.

Laminates can also be UV resistant which will greatly assist prints that are displayed or mounted outside. This will increase the life of your print and protect your investment. The right laminate enhances the aesthetic, durability, and functionality of any graphic installation.
