Frosted Window film - Your privacy sorted

Our client wanted some privacy in an inner office but still be able to see if anybody entered the office next door. Light transmission also had to be maintained. 3M Frosted Crystal™ was the answer. We cut the film to size before taking it out to the client and installing it. The end result is what you see in the pic above.

Logos, text and solid panels are no problem for our team of experienced installers. Privacy, light, low key advertising and safety are possibilities when using 3M Frosted Crystal™, commonly known as window frosting or glass etching film. Why pay for on site sandblasting with attendant mess when you can have this product applied with no fuss and no mess. Call us for an obligation free quote.

Fascia Signage - Handcrafters House

Our client, Handcrafters House in Midland WA needed a sign on their fascia but the deadline was quite tight. Rather than us tell the story, we thought it better to post the unedited Testimonial supplied by the owner, Michelle:

“Recently I purchased a new premises for my patchwork & quilting business in Midland. The fascias on this building are huge and I wasn’t really sure where to start.

I found Perth Graphics Centre online through the Yellow Pages and emailed them to which they replied first thing the following morning. (Note to self - prompt and professional). A day or so later Tony and I were standing out the front of my shop measuring the signage area and discussing what would be needed.

As I dabble in a bit of graphic design I wanted to design my own signage, which was not a problem for Perth Graphics. After a lot of emails back and forth, due mainly to my indecision on colour, design, size and placement (after all I wanted it to be perfect) we came to the final product which was installed less than a week later! All of this happened in the weeks leading up to Christmas, one of the most busiest times of the year.

I was so impressed with Tony & Clare’s team at Perth Graphics that I offered to write to this testimonial. The quality of their work, their professionalism and their patience with my ever changing mind is second to none. And now my artwork sits proudly above my shop for all to see! Thank you Perth Graphics!”

Thankyou Michelle. We appreciate the business too! Just a side note… Whilst this sign was being installed, we had one gentleman approach us and ask where Handcrafters House had shifted to. He saw the sign and pulled in off the street to come and see what Handcrafters House had to offer! Proof positive that good signage really does work.”

Vehicle Wraps - Half is still good!

Half Wrap Rear View

Home Icecream Half Wrap

Our client was looking for great value and despite that full wraps are all the rage, sometimes a half wrap will provide just as much exposure but at a much better price. Why just wrap half a vehicle? Full wraps require removal of quite a bit of hardware including door handles, badges and more. Wrapping only half a vehicle without removal of all the components results in a faster cheaper job and yet the exposure is almost as good as a full wrap. Value for money, a half wrap is pretty hard to beat.

The same materials as are used for full wraps are also used in this application. We use Automotive Grade vinyls and laminates and the images are printed on a high quality solvent printer to ensure long life vibrant colour prints. The overlaminate ensures that the print is not directly exposed to the elements and can’t be “washed off”. Our expert fitters have all completed training courses in how to wrap vehicles and are now very experienced in this aspect of signage.

If you’re looking for maximum impact at minimum price, consider a half vehicle wrap. Call us today for an estimate.

BMW K1300S Owner orders Ventureshield

BMW K1300S with Ventureshield

Craig, the owner of this BMW K1300S knew about Ventureshield and therefore recognised it as being a great way to protect his investment. With only a few kilometres on the clock, he brought the bike in to us to have Ventureshield Stone Protection Film fitted by our professional team. You may not be able to see it in this photo but it is certainly there. Even the headlight has film on it. The lower fairing front edges have a matte finish, so rather than use gloss film, our installer decided to cut these pieces from matte film, a new product from Ventureshield. The result? A soft, “almost not there” look that doesn’t affect the appearance of the bike. Even the carbon fibre panels have been protected.

As a finishing touch, Craig agreed to have the rest of the paintwork protected with G|Techniq C1 Crystal Laquer finish, the ultimate Paint Protection product on the market today. We’re sure that Craig will be happy with the investment he has made but even so, he has a lifetime warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling and bubbling of the film.

Kits are available to suit most motorcycles and cars on the market today, so feel free to contact Tony or Karl at Perth Graphics Centre to enquire about a kit for your vehicle today.

Maserati Shamal with Ventureshield Stonechip Protection Film

A customer brought in his Maserati Shamal; a twin turbo V8 supercar that goes like a bullet and sounds awesome. But he didn’t want the precious paintwork ruined by stone chips.

Perth Graphics Centre then applied Ventureshield protective film to the areas he requested, and now the risk of his paint being destroyed is eliminated. The real beauty is, you can’t see it at all.

Metal Signs on shopfronts - how to transform your look

Often the quickest way to give your shopfront a lift is to freshen it up with new signage. Old signs can look tired, and give off a negative impression. However with bright digital print, and new metal signs, you can transform the look of your shop and make it much more appealing.

Have a look at the Kebab King Van we renewed before the 2009 Perth Royal Show. Now it draws people in, with its eye catching graphics. Our team of professional in house designers spent time with the client, Snax Catering, and came up with a new image for this previously tired looking van.

If you would like a consultant to come out and discuss new signage for your business, head to our contact page, or e-mail us at info@pgc.com.au

Stonechip protection film - BF Falcon GT

Here’s a great example of our stone chip protection film for cars. The customer below had a BF Falcon GT, and wanted to keep it in pristine condition.

We covered the entire front end of the car, including the leading 200mm of the bonnet - not that you’d realise it. That’s the beauty of the VentureShield film. It is completely invisible. We covered the front bumper, fog lights, headlights, A-pillars, mirrors and the rear bumper’s undersides.
