LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND – Vivid Laminating Technologies, Europe’s leading designer and manufacturer of laminating systems, will showcase at Graph Expo 14 (September 28 – October 1, McCormick Place South, Chicago), a full range of laminating products designed to help print service providers and graphics arts professionals increase productivity, decrease costs and generate more revenue.

“Vivid will provide this year’s Graph Expo attendees with the finishing solutions for all kinds of printed output” said Bruce Cozens, Export Manager, Vivid Laminating Technologies. “From smaller format 12x18-inch prints, to 83-inch wide format graphics, our versatile systems deliver amazing speeds and quality; while offering print providers the ability to laminate jobs in-house, saving both time and revenue”.

Vivid (booth #2649) will run demonstrations on their laminating equipment throughout the duration of the show, offering advice and support to end users and their expanding network of Authorised Resellers.

The English-based company first attended Graph Expo in 2011, returning to the US the following year to exhibit at SGIA in Las Vegas. With distributors now established in North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Illinois, Vivid are looking to further increase their distribution channels and market share with their innovative products.

The firm’s Matrix range is already Europe’s No.1 selling professional laminating system, able to laminate business cards, photo books, menus, post cards and brochures, using OPP film in gloss, matt, anti-scratch and even soft-touch finishes.

“Graph Expo gives us the ideal platform to introduce new systems to our existing reseller network and the American printing industry as a whole” continued Cozens. “The show will see us debut our Pneumatic and Duplex Matrix Systems in the US, as well as our Easymount Sign wide format laminating systems”.

Their award-winning Easymount range of wide format systems will laminate posters, graphics, signs, trade-show stands, roll-up banners and vehicle graphics.

“We find that many sign makers and wide format print firms outsource their lamination” summarized Cozens. “With the Easymount installed, laminating in-house can save time and money, from window graphics to vehicle wraps on buses.”
