What Manchester orders from us
Manchester is a city of building sites, big events and football. That shapes what clients and agencies order for it: building wraps and scaffold banners for city-centre developments, branding for sport and live events, and signs for shops, bars and restaurants. Large format printing for Manchester starts at the scale of a single banner and goes up to wraps of several hundred square metres.
We have no office in Manchester. Our head office and main production plant are in Wieluń, Poland: more than 35 machines, UV printing up to 3.2 m wide without seams, CNC routing, laser cutting and our own sewing room. Our vans run across Europe every day and the UK is on the route.
Scaffold banners and building wraps
Mesh is the standard for scaffolding: it lets wind through and keeps the load on the scaffold down. We print 270 g mesh with a liner at approx. €7–13 net per m² and reinforced 370 g mesh, pole pockets included, at approx. €10–17 net per m². Worked example: a 400 m² wrap in 370 g mesh comes to approx. €4,000–6,800 net, depending on artwork and finishing. Large wraps are printed in panels with hems and eyelets, labelled to match the fixing plan.
Hoarding banners and fence wraps use 510 g coated PVC at approx. €7–13 net per m², or 550 g black-back at approx. €9–16 net per m² where the fence lets light through. Our crews can fit from a cherry picker up to 18 m, from approx. €230 net per day with operator. More on scaffold mesh banners and banner printing.

Sport and events: stadiums, fan zones and venues
With Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium in the city, sport sponsorship is a steady source of work: barrier covers, sponsor boards, press backdrops, fan-zone gazebos and flags. For conferences and shows, Manchester Central in the city centre and EventCity at Trafford Park are the main venues; we deliver pop-up stands, SEG frames and roll-ups there within the build-up slot. Exhibition stands for Manchester start with a straight pop-up fabric wall at approx. €400 net. Our projects for sports clubs and leagues are shown in our case studies.

Shop signs in Manchester and advertisement consent
For bars, restaurants and shops in the Northern Quarter, Deansgate or Spinningfields, the usual set is fascia letters, a projecting sign (from approx. €300 net with bracket), LED neon for the interior (from approx. €210 net) and window graphics. Signs, especially illuminated ones, generally need advertisement consent from Manchester City Council as the local planning authority, and conservation areas bring stricter rules. We do not apply for you, but we provide the photomontage and dimensioned drawings (from approx. €85 net). Ranges: light box manufacturer, built-up letters, shop window graphics.

Because the UK is outside the EU, export paperwork is handled with our forwarders and the clearance time is built into the schedule; ask us about delivery terms to the UK. Large wraps are delivered rolled and labelled by panel. Our own crews (approx. €42 net per hour) or a partner fitter in the North West install on site, and agencies can order on a white label basis.
