Java Republic

Java Republic first contacted us in 2018 after they had undergone a full brand refresh. The 20-year-old brand was reinvigorated and made relevant to new generations of coffee and tea consumers across a competitive landscape. They now needed a print management team to manage their requirements and protect their brand.

The Brief

To print large format adhesive vinyl’s with matt lamination and install on location within a specific timeframe.
—
The first step on receiving the brief, was to do a site survey. Within this survey we discovered that three areas of the required placement had surfaces of metal, brickwork and dry wall. All of which require different types of adhesives. The site survey is a must in relation to quality control and in meeting the expectations and vision of our client. Potential problems arose with the discovery of different surfaces, as this required the use of three different types of adhesive vinyl. One adhesive will print one shade of pantone and another will print its own interpretation of the same pantone. Therefore, we insisted on swatch tests with our chosen printer, this swatch test allowed us to match the pantone exactly along all 3 types of adhesive materials. Our team installed all branded items within record time and to through a high standard of quality control protocol. The finished result speaks for itself.
