Project: Recycling and Trash Bin Graphic Wraps

Location: Los Angeles, CA

Client: ESPN

Custom Graphic Trash Bins

Every year we wrap their golf carts for the ESPYs as well as produce many different signs for their events.  When they presented us with the idea to cover these recycling bins with creative graphics, we said ABSOLUTELY!  We love to wrap odd objects that you don’t see wrapped everyday, and turning a regular ordinary trash can into something awesome was a priority for us. Sure, the purpose of the trash bin may not be glamorous, but that doesn’t mean the bin itself can’t be!

The first step to getting this done was to measure the units.  ESPN shipped us the unwrapped trash bins, and our experienced team measured each 3 compartment trash can to ensure that the wraps were going to fit properly.  The key to any good wrap company is measuring.  If you get one wrong measurement the entire wrap could end up looking all wrong when it is installed. After our art department took detailed measurements, they created templates which we then sent to ESPN so that they could add their designs to the templates.

Wrapping unique or custom items such as instruments, hockey sticks, and even waste bins isn’t really much different than wrapping a car. The biggest difference is that instead of using a template for a vehicle that is readily available, our design team needs to build a template from scratch for the trash cans using exact measurements. Once the template is built, the design process can start just the way it would for a vehicle wrap. Once we had the designs, we converted them into large format print files and printed them onto the same vinyl wrap material that we use for our vehicle wraps. The material was then laminated to protect the prints against scratching and to aid in the installation process.
