VANS WITH ELAN

Q: We are a catering company and, having expanded over the past few years, we now have a small fleet of vans. We would like someone to design and install a new livery for us to raise our profile even further. Can you recommend anyone?

A: Give VgL a call (0118 922 1300). It is a specialist in screen and digital print. For fleet graphics it has combined resources with Stronghold, which allows VgL to bring its experience and expertise in full-colour digital printing, while Stronghold is a world leader in vehicle curtain technology.

They combine large-format digital inkjet imaging with specially developed pigment inks, PVC and two-component clear coating to optimise adhesion, graphic stability and image quality for long-lasting prints.

Clients have included Walkers, Kenco and Frijj.

DETAILS DOWN TO A 'T'

Q: We are a small production firm and want to provide all our staff with T-shirts printed with the title of the project they are working on. Who can produce these for us?
