Excel is a family-run blind manufacturer and undertakes all its business right here in the UK.
The Challenge
This issue of the magazine was created to showcase at the BBSA Show, at an event like this standing out from your competition is vital.
The Solution
This job is a brilliant example of just how effective combining different print techniques can be. Excel Manufacturing specialises in window blinds and window finishings, they offer 1000’s of fabrics to their clients. What better way to reflect the soft texture of fabric than using soft-touch lamination.
The dark tones in the cover design and matte velvet like finish of the soft touch laminate used give the rose gold foil a show-stopping shine. Not only does it grab your attention, the beautiful leaf design adds a dash of their latest collection. Great design and quality print go hand in hand.
The Result
The images throughout the magazine are vibrant, crisp and clear showing off Excel’s range of products looking their absolute best, all thanks to a blast of LED UV.
Excel said, ‘We’ve had great feedback on this issue as ‘the best yet’ with the cover designed to match our new fabric collection boxes with the same foiling leaf design but it’s the soft touch lamination that is always coveted the most!'
