It‟s all about the end game.

New Store Opening & Restyle

A restyling project for the second largest Makro store in Delft,

plus a two week in- & outstore signage delivery for a new store

in Dordrecht. Both delivered in a very short timeframe. STB was

there to make sure everything was exactly the way Makro

envisioned. In time and within budget.





Cardboard displays

A project for Toys “R” Us. STB produced and delivered

cardboard displays for all locations in Benelux making sure that

delivery was in time and within budget. Child‟s play.


Photography & Print

STB„s photo & print specialists worked closely together with

Holland International for the photography and print of the new

brochure, flyer and poster campaign announcing the Holland

International Cruises in Amsterdam.


Environmental Decor Rollout

McDonald‟s turned to GFX when they debuted their McCafe´concept across the system.

• This complicated rollout required new restaurant equipment, several new product launches and

fresh environmental fixtures & graphics for 13,000 locations.

• GFX engineered multiple magnetic solutions, produced & shipped all graphics & hardware, and

managed their installation.

• GFX branding solutions offered McDonald‟s production & freight savings and maximized flexibility for

owner/operators in the field .



Store-Within-A-Store InitiativeStaples wanted to echo their smaller format Copy and Print

Shop inside the big box. Who better to design and execute

than the company behind the success of the stand-alone

concept? • Multiple design layouts were rendered with rapid 3D technology to provide quick and affordable

prototypes

• Custom display fixtures were engineered and produced

• Graphics package was created to define and support the uniquely branded environment



Fleet Advertising

Bacardi was looking for a company who could think outside

the box. With over 40 years of experience in fleetmarking STB

was chosen as a partner in this project in which 22 trucks were

wrapped with real gold. Not your average fleetmarking

material. Not your average impact either.
