Our hoarding printing project start out with a site survey enabling us to create accurate measurements for designers. This is done with Adobe Illustrator so that the designers can see areas that may be hidden, uneven printed hoarding placements and gives our client a good idea of how the hoarding will look once installed. This was produced in collaboration with Parker Design Consultants, see their hoarding pages here.

The site position in Windermere was perfect to communicate to the public how important the work in this area was. After the survey, the hoarding printing was done on our flatbed printing presses in Cheshire. Our workflow software enabled us to colour match the UU brand colours accurately.

Installation Of Hoarding Boards
We provided a Risk Assessment and Method Statements based on our site survey. The printed hoarding used 1220mm x 2440mm ACM hoarding boards and required a lay down area for each section.
We have a professional and experienced hoarding fitting team. Each installation is discussed beforehand and designers use diagrams produced by the site survey to design each length of hoarding graphic. Installation of printed hoarding was made simple by producing the schematic diagram after the site survey. This meant that all hoarding graphics met perfectly and reduced the fitting time.

House Builder Flags and Marketing Suite Graphics
The House Builder flags and flagpoles are the most popular product. They are 6 metres tall to the top of the finial, and include a 2 metre long x 900mm wide flag. This portrait flag drapes permanently from a rotating arm ensuring a permanently expanded graphic even when there is little or no breeze.
The flags are weighted from the base and attached to the flagpole by a weighting ring and mast bands. This ensures the flag drapes permanently to enhance the graphics, logo's or text. The knitted polyester flags are single sided and have a 95% show through, giving a graphic on both sides of the flag.

Double sided flags
Many clients go for double sided flags which include a light-block liner to prevent graphics merging together from both sides. However, the flags look fantastic as a single sided flag where the lightweight fabric drapes well and lasts that little bit longer.Marketing Suite & Construction Site Printed Graphics

We were asked by Fluid design agency to produce premium hoarding for their client in Kent. As well as the usual printed hoarding boards, this also included cut acrylic letters and logo's, tray signs and solar powered spotlights to highlight the branding.

Cut Acrylic Lettering & Logo's

The cut acrylic letters and logo's were produced on our flatbed cutting facility in Cheshire. The depths of the acrylic used was 19mm, 10mm and 5mm. Whilst the 5mm letters were adhered direct to the hoarding boards, the larger 10mm and 19mm acrylic letters were adhered using locators, projecting them some 20mm away form the hoarding board surface. This gave the hoarding a premium look.
Tray signs on hoarding boards

Solar Powered Lighting used on Hoarding
To add to this premium hoarding, we used solar powered spotlights. These were positioned on the acrylic text and logo at regular intervals across the length of the hoarding. As the acrylics were fixed with locators, the lighting during the evening accentuated the depth between hoarding boards. The solar panels had to be positioned in a direction to maximise exposure to the sun.

Printed Hoarding Boards
The hoarding boards between the logo boards were traditionally printed using our AGFA workflow and flatbed printing presses. The site survey identified areas where the hoarding boards

In some areas the cut acrylic letters were added to tray signs. The tray signs were made from 3mm folded ACM with a return of 50mm. This not only increased the premium look of the hoarding but also meant that these could be repositioned and re-used in the future.

Printed Hoarding - How long will it last?
Printed hoarding board is produced by Johnsons for construction site perimeters and areas for site branding. The aluminium composite panels are extremely durable and perfect for cladding existing hoarding board perimeters. But how long does it last?

We use high quality hoarding board to print to. This is because we know that it receives our high quality print output extremely well, and also that the manufacturers of the board give a 5 year life to the board.
Can it last longer than 5 years?
Yes. We know that in most cases, that the board will last longer than 5 years, though the position of the hoarding and the kind of weathering it will receive can shorten the life of the print on the boards.
Will Anti-Graffiti Laminate Prolong the Life of the Hoarding?
We apply Anti-Graffiti laminate to all of our hoarding boards unless specifically requested not to by our clients. Laminate of any kind will not only protect the board but also, more importantly, the print applied to the aluminium composite panel. Anti-Graffiti laminate also does this and enables graffiti to be removed if the hoarding is defaced.
