- Length: 75 linear metres
- Height: 2.4m

Our Graphics team has established a long working relationship with M&S and we were asked to print and install a 75 linear metre run of branded 3mm ACM panels to an existing timber hoarding for a new build M&S store at Washington Galleries in the north east of England.
Our Graphics expert, Tony Stead, surveyed the site and measured the hoarding in Washington. The ACM panels were installed within two weeks of the survey and stayed in place for six months while until new M&S store was completed behind the hoarding.
The sloping ground was a particular challenge in terms of aligning the artwork, but our experienced team liaised with the M&S artwork team to ensure the graphics could be adapted to the changing levels of the site perimeter.
Specification & Build
Components
Bespoke graphics were formatted and printed onto each 3mm ACM panel by our expert in-house team. The panels were delivered in flat pack form and installed on site by our experienced Graphics team.
In addition to the 500mm wide ACM panels, folded black ACM corners and black ACM pelmets and skirts were fitted to the hoarding to give it a neat, professional finish.
Made to measure ACM panels were also fitted over the existing timber gates to ensure the whole site had a consistent appearance, aligning with the premium brand status of M&S.
Result
Our Graphics team transformed the appearance of a weathered timber hoarding with pin sharp M&S branding, giving the site an uplift during the important latter stages of construction of the new M&S store.
The graphics were formatted, printed and installed by our experienced team.
