Great Britain.
Vinyline 1984 - 2009Vinyline have an enviable background in the vinyl graphics industry, having bought the very first plotter/cutter sold outside the USA in the spring of 1983. This influenced a sign and graphics revolution that Vinyline are proud to acknowledge was something that they have played a massive part in. Historically, Vinyline was ‘born’ from a print/graphics background which means that it was relatively easy to make the transition to the modern and revolutionary process that exists today, which in turn led to us being awarded the 1988 esteemed Fasson Trophy. This award was won for the best design, application and use of self-adhesive graphics to a vehicle in that year and is still regarded as the Blue Riband of the Sign Industry today. The intervening years have seen a steady increase in our fortunes – bigger and better premises, a more prestigious client base, and consequently, much bigger projects. One of our most outstanding projects was awarded to us after winning the contract, against the rest of the European Sign Industry, to manufacture and install 45,000 sq. metres of self-adhesive vinyl to the outside of 212 pavilions at Expo ’98 in Lisbon, Portugal. This is still considered the largest ever project by a British Company and we were also required to supervise and manage a large number of Portuguese staff, as well as our own installation teams, over a five month long period. 2002 saw Vinyline heavily involved with both production and installation for ourselves, whilst also working in conjunction with various other UK Sign Companies, during the Commonwealth Games project in Manchester. More recently Vinyline was named as Craftsmen of the Year 2005 at the British Sign Industry Awards, for the stunning window graphics at Selfridges in Exchange Square, Manchester. This involved converting the artwork of the world renowned Brazilian artist, Beatriz Milhazes, into a 50’ x 100’ vinyl façade, consisting of 12 different types and shades of vinyl. Vinyline now fully encompass the whole range of graphics and signage, from the smallest engraved label to warning signs, site boards, hoardings, full colour digital print, vehicle graphics, banners and building wraps. |
