Cheesy I know but I had to say something. Spring is almost here and we are wrapping like crazy over here – the first of Kings Supermarkets fleet has just been completed and ready to hit the road. Great job Rad and Greg! – Steve
Don’t get the wrong idea. KDF is honored to have been chosen by the great Borough of Northvale, NJ to create some custom signage. Here are some of the signs before they go out the door for install. We used Precision Board HDU, both 15lb and 30lb, and cut the relief of the patch with a 1/6″ Ball end mill on our MultiCam 3000 CNC. Everything was painted with Modern Masters Metallic Paint.
Hey all! We’ve been working on our expansion and happy to report that it’s going well. The walls are up for our new Vehicle Wrap bay and the paint shop will be right next door. We’ve more than doubled our capacity for wraps! We’re all very excited and we’re close, very close. Waiting on some snow to thaw so we can put the overhead door in.
We just finished up a a nice “large” wrap for our friends at RAB Lighting on a custom Sprinter Van. Here Greg is prepping the van – removing all exterior parts so the wrap can be installed properly. Once prepped the guys will layout all the panels for a nice fit. Rad and Greg have the panels lined up and they begin the install. we are using Avery premium wrap vinyl for the printed graphics with an Avery gloss laminate. Great job guys! – Steve
Not totally sure why but my 8 year old is obsessed with pigs. And if you throw a mustache on it she’s even more happy. So I wanted to make something that we could hang on the wall here at the studio that would make her smile when she visits – and give us a bit of a challenge to make. I started by finding a basic 3D model of a pig then did a little digital sculpting to make a “friendlier” shape.
Today Rad had the pleasure of wrapping an Ibanex Strat Style Guitar body with Avery Chrome Vinyl. Looks great – Maybe he’ll wrap my car in chrome next…. – Steve All ready for the hardware, pickups and strings.
The nice thing about having a 3D printer is that as you think of things to make your life a little easier you can just print them! I’ve had it with pens, pencils and my stylus rolling all round my desk – so I just printed myself a handy little pen holder. What do you need printed? – Steve
Be prepared – they are coming to your town! This is our latest wrap for United Cheese Steaks Of America food truck. So this is where we start. We need to make this thing amazing – Its up to Nanette our designer to work with the client to come up with a design that will stop people in the tracks (and make them hungry). This truck is incredible inside and their food is amazing so the wrap has to live up to all of that and convey it! For the graphic production we use the Avery EZ RS Supercast Vinyl with the Avery DOL 1060 cast premium overlaminate film.
Once again we had the great fortune to work on the “Frozen” display at the Disney Store in Times Square. This was a lot of fun as usual and my daughter Mary got to meet Olaf in person! The client gave us sketches of the Frozen Castle and our challenge was to make a display out of acrylic. We came up with a few concepts and started building it half scale to work out the kinks. Once we had the design down it was time to build it full size which was about 8′ tall. Here is the main structure made out of gator foam.
