UK Rigging needed high-quality, visually striking vehicle graphics to showcase their brand. We designed, manufactured, and installed digitally printed vinyl graphics with a protective gloss over laminate, ensuring durability and a professional finish.
The vinyl was contour cut to shape and applied to all three sides of the vehicle. Installation was carried out at Poppy Signs in Chorley by their skilled team, delivering a precise, seamless result that enhances brand visibility and professionalism.
