“High School Musical On Ice” With only a week deadline, Enhance A Colour

was hired by PRG Events to produce the graphics

for an opening night event at Madison Square Garden

in New York City. It was a one night event held in

New York and then the event moved to LA for the

west coast opening night gala event. The Garden

would not allow adhesive vinyl to be used. But by

using fabric and light weight aluminum frames the

pillars of the Garden were completely wrapped. The

entrance way had a wall of fabric. The dinner tables

were covered in printed fabric. Printing directly to

1/2 inch white sintra and then digitally laser diecutting

the lettering allowed the marquee to announce to the

City of New York that Disney’s ‘High School Musical

on Ice” was ready to open. PRG’s installation team

were able to install the event in less than a day.

Nike and Michael Jordan Present Jordan Number 23Enhance a Colour, working on a tight schedule of less than one week, transformed a bleak, stark white meeting room into the launch site of Michael Jordan’s 23rd sneaker line for Nike. EaC transitioned a 38 by 36 foot room with 12 foot ceilings from bare white walls into fabric walls of Nike and Michael Jordan. The PR event was a successful launch that was on time and on budget. Enhance a Colour’s pre-imaging department converted the images to work with fabric, then using our dye-sublimated printing equipment, we printed onto poly-soft 10 foot wide fire rated fabric. The fabric was then moved to our finishing department to have seams and pole pockets sewn into the fabric walls. Our installation team fabricated the hanging hardware and the installation needed to create the image walls seen here.

“AAFL Football Spring 2008” Enhance A Colour was contacted by the AAFL’s

promotion agency. In one week’s time the AAFL was

setting up tryouts in Orlando, Florida. They needed all

types and kinds of signage, carpeting, banners, table

coverings, promotional displays for the fans, table tents.

directional signage and team logos and flags. The AAFL

was going to go to Birmingham, Detroit and Houston.

Working with the agency Enhance a Colour suggested

that fabric was the way to go for much of the signage.

It could be folded, ironed easily and stored for the next

event location. The fan displays were created from

aluminum and were built to set up in less than fifteen

minutes. Three sets of rolling crates were created for

storage purposes. FedEx picked up the three crates on

Saturday and delivered them to Orlando on Monday

morning. Despite for the rain it was a great kick off event!

The Hispanic Market.All State Insurance turned to their agency to create an

inter-active soccer event to help All State reach out to

the Hispanic market. Enhance a Colour was brought on

board to turn concept into reality. Using carpet, fabric,

plastic, dibond and aluminum, a “Kick and Goal” event

was created. In addition a photo event was created using

a picture of the National team of Mexico and creating a

78 inch by 130 inch backdrop with the player’s head

next to the captain cut out for the event. All of the

frames were made of aluminum for quick set up and

easy transportation. They were used at a total of six

events in California.

StaplesOn the Road

Staples wanted to produce a road show that made its

customers aware of the benefits on shredding their

documents. Working with their promotional agency

Enhance a Colour created the graphics for the tractor

box trailer and the pull behind vehicle. We then created

two complete ten foot tents, fully printed on all sides

and the roof on to a rain proof fabric. In addition, we

created from fabric wrap around stage graphics for the

platform that folded out of the pull behind. Last but not

least, shredders create waste so we wrapped the

garbage cans that held the shredded waste.

Grand Prix New York Warehouse to Race TrackGrand Prix New York is a one of a kind destination createdto attract a unique clientele. It is both a race course, a restaurantand a facility for meetings and events. Located in what used to be a Grand Union Warehouse and Distribution Center in Mt Kisco,New York, the walls were concrete block and that was a huge problem. In order to bring in the clientele that GPNY was after they needed a lot more than concrete. After visiting our facilitiesin Danbury, CT and meeting with Kevin O’Connor, one of EaC’s owners, they knew that they had found the right company to workwith. EaC produced hanging fabric banners for the dining and reception areas and then convinced Grand Prix to create outer imagery walls around the perimeter of the two racetracks. This required 900 linear feet of 16 feet tall walls. Using photographs and digital images our pre-imaging services department created files that we then printed in full color onto reinforced vinyl. EaC created the pole pockets and the metal rod hanging system. EaC then installed the walls of images. Enhance a Colour provided Grand Prix New York with a turn key operation from pre-imaging services to printing and installation.

Lexis NexisRolling Advertising

Lexis Nexis is a company that sells its data base and other services to lawyers and legal departments of large companies. They wanted to tour large cities in the United States with an RV to demonstrate their services. If their prospective clients could not come to Lexis locations then they would bring the demonstration to the prospect. Lexis chose December to kick this program into production. Unfortunately vehicle graphics need to be installed in a minimum of 50 plus degree weather. As you can see from the photos snow was on the ground. EAC has a large indoor facility to solve this problem. First we measured the vehicle, then we printed the graphics and finally we successfully installed in 68 degree indoor weather.

RetailEres

Seeking advice on how to update their stores’ monthly

merchandising displays, Eres contacted Enhance a

Colour to help them coordinate the use of fabric and

digital C-Prints in their displays. First, images from

their European headquarters are sent to Enhance a

Colour for color correction to the client’s approval.

Then, dye-sublimated fabric is printed and stretched

over EAC’s own custom built frames and mounted to

the walls. C-prints are mounted to the front and sides

of half-inch gator creating a dimensional display with

depth. The window signage is updated to meet each

month’s promotional message. All installation work

is handled by Enhance a Colour.


RetailIssey Miyake

Issey Miyake had searched all over the Northeast fora company who could produce 5 feet by 10 feet by 1.5 inch thick corrugated inside with a coated fourcolor front and back diecut display. The need was for their New York City locations only. All of the companies could color correct and print the images, some could even mount the images, but only Enhance a Colour had the resources and knowledge to create and execute the assignment. Based on the success of the first project, Enhance a Colour was asked if they could add brushed aluminum to the next set of displays. For the Holidays we added lights, built frames and printed to Plexi to create double sided displays.

RetailKings Supermarkets

Kings Supermarkets, with locations in New Jersey

and New York, was looking to change their stores’

image. They had traditionally used vinyl or 24-point

board for their in-store displays, supplying each

location with 15-24 copies of the same image hung

throughout the store. Working with the customer and

their ad agency Enhance a Colour demonstrated that

using digital technology versus silk-screening print

methods would enable Kings to display 15-24

different images per store, with each unique image

drawing the customer in more effectively. Dye

sublimated fabric helped to enhance the look and the

feel of both the displays and the store’s appearance.

signage. The previous vendor‘s signage had the type

bleeding thru from each side. Enhance a Colour

worked with its supplier to create a lined fabric to

prevent this problem. It was so successful for Syms

that this signage is now used in all of the Syms stores.

To help Syms promote their new children’s department,

window graphics were created using outdoor vinyl

and were installed using Enhance a Colour’s boom

truck. All installation work is handled by Enhance a

EaC Carpet ImagesEnhance a Colour introduces its newest product offering “Digitally Created Colour Carpets”. Using our fifteen years of experience with dye-sublimation printing and over twenty five years as color separators we can now offer four color images printed to the carpet. One of the benefits of dye-sublimation printing is that the ink used in printing becomes part of the polyfiber used in the carpets. Three hundred and eighty degrees of heat and four hundred pounds of pressure causes the ink to become a gas and the gas attaches itself to the poly fibers. Thebenefit of this is the carpets can be steam cleaned or scrub washed without effecting the color of the carpet. UV light fromthe sun will effect the carpet over time, causing color fade. Wecan print carpeting up to ten feet wide and can seam up to twenty feet wide.

In the past year a new and eye catching way of promotion has begun to occur, counter promotion graphics. Working with the promotion agency and marketing managers for Hennessy and others, Enhance a Colour and our network of installers measure the store’s various counter tops, faces and ends, then provide exact templates and build the files to fit the templates. Upon the approval of the marketing managers we then print the files using 3M vinyl adhesives and install the adhesive graphics. We provide a turn key solution. In every store that has had their counters turned into promotional counters sales of the product shown have gone up from 40 to better than 100 percent. This is awin win situation for the both the store and for the brand as well.

Boar’s Head3-Dimensional Displays For King Kullen Supermarkets

Boar’s Head was looking for a distinctive display to help promote their clients who have received “Certified Service and Training”. They wanted a permanent and long lasting display. They had previously tried sintra PVC displays and this time were looking for something different and unique.This promotional display is printed using one of our flatbed UV printers. The wood is routed on our CNC router first. This enabled us to round the edges and then print direct to the wood surface of the display signage. We then glued the two halves to each other. After the wood glue dried we attached the hanging brass hardware to the display.

Affinity Health Plan Improves Its Health By Improving Its Image...

Affinity Health Plan is a non-profit organization. In 2007 they wereseeking to change the way that they promoted themselves. Theymet with the owners of Enhance a Colour looking for options. Theirfleet of RV’s was ready to be replaced, and had previously been hand painted. EaC showed Affinity Health Plan that for less than five dollars a day their RV’s could become rolling informational billboards. Over the next five year period, their fleet of vehicles will be in the community delivering their services and as an added bonus advertising their message. The RV’s were so successful that Affinity Health Plan had their SUV’s and cars wrapped as well. Following the vehicles came their new sales/service storefront location in the Bronx. EaC produced five large, 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall, framed prints which we installed onto the store’s walls. Each print had a different yet complimentary message. The front of the store followed the color scheme of the vehicles, and now we are producing stand alone kiosks that are used at various events to help push Affinity Health Plan’s message to the people.
