Swansea based Pro-Grafix keeps some hardworking plant and vehicles looking great…

Although you wouldn’t be wrong to cast Pro-Grafix in the role of a signs and graphics producer, the company, which is based in Pontardawe, just a little way from Swansea, can claim to be expert and deliver a range of services from branded workwear, design, promotional materials and more. Among the team’s specialisations is vehicle fleet livery design and production and its work is seen all over South West Wales and beyond.

RNA Plant is just one of Pro-Grafix’ customers in the region and its vehicles are a common sight wherever there’s hard work to be done on the regions roads. RNA is where you’d turn if you want the surface of a carriageway that’s under your control planed off and all the resulting mess taken away for disposal. Forget any notion of a machine delicately abrading a weathered top-layer. If you need 300mm to vanish in one pass - it shall be done.

Hardworking plant, and the vehicles that come along and clean up after it lead hard lives. They’re out in all weather and operate in challenging environments picking up lots of knocks, scrapes and other battle-rash. That said, the vehicles are still expected to promote RNA’s brand at the point of delivery and so livery graphics are important. 

Pro-Grafix has provisioned RNA’s livery graphics for quite some time and the latest reflects the company’s input from design through production to installation and delivery. The livery design is simple, highly legible and, thanks to the coloured elements, instantly recognisable at distance or in the very worst of weathers. The design avoids expansive panels of print, favouring a cut-and-applied approach, which makes maintenance simpler. It’s a formula that clearly works for Pro-Grafix and for its customer.

All the elements in the livery are made from Metamark MD5A Digital Media. This product is highly evolved and has a specification reflecting its legacy. Quite apart from printing brilliantly,  it cuts with precision in the hands of the Pro-Grafix team, it weeds effortlessly and its adheres powerfully when it reached its ultimate bond hours after application.

Hard-working graphics don’t have to look like they’ve been hastily applied or stencilled. Pro-Grafix’ work makes the case for great looking livery even in the most hostile environments
