Structure-flex champions consistent colours
Lorry tension curtains and graphics supplier Structure-flex reports that it is using its investments in materials and technology to deliver consistent colours as required by its clients.
The company reports an ever increasing demand for colour consistency, in the context of growing demand for lorry curtains triggered by the economic recovery from the pandemic.
“Our clients rightfully have high expectations of the quality we can deliver,” said managing director Paul Reeve.
“A big part of that is ensuring all colours stay consistent and true to their brand across their vehicles.”
With lorry tension curtains, trailer graphics, cab livery and vehicle wraps often produced on differing materials and through varying printing processes, colour consistency can be a challenge, the firm says.
Structure-flex, which operates extensive facilities for manufacturing lorry tension curtains and livery, possesses a range of technology which it believes makes this easier to overcome.
“By holding a high stock of leading materials, using some of the latest grand format printing equipment and having over 50 years of experience, we can deliver both a quicker service and superior quality,” added Paul.
Norfolk-based Structure-flex has provided lorry tension curtains since 1970 and is responsible for a number of unique product innovations, including the Smoothside buckle-free curtain. It also offers the Adaico ADA-Slider system.
Over recent years, it reports a significant increase in customers looking for ever more ambitious and vibrant graphics.
“Fleet operators have always wanted their lorries to stand out. With the latest manufacturing technology, their marketing departments can now be even more creative and be very satisfied with the results,” Paul continued.
Structure-Flex specialises in manufacturing products from flexible plastics using high-frequency welding.
As well as supplying lorry tension curtains, the company provides products including proof load test bags for cranes, bulk packaging bags for transportation and air lift bags for the diving industry.
In response to the rising demand for lorry curtains and graphics, Structure-flex has continued to invest in equipment which it says has seen its factory remain one of the most capable in the UK. In particular, the latest ink technology has increased the intricacy of designs it can deliver.
As reported in 2021, the company has also chosen to maintain industry-leading levels of stock of tension curtain fabric to overcome supply chain issues and enable it to react quicker to orders.
In addition, its suite of large and grand format digital printers enables it to produce the full range of vehicle graphics and livery.
