Wrexham AFC has worked with PressOn for the design and installation of new graphics within the Stōk Cae Ras football stadium.

The job required custom made wraps to be designed, developed, and installed for a variety of spaces within Wrexham AFC’s stadium, including the corridors leading to the player dressing rooms – which was no match for Kent based PressOn, which is vastly experienced in printing for diverse surfaces and challenging environments.

The designs created had to highlight the legacy, achievement and history of the football club to every player who will walk through the corridors over the next few years – as Wrexham seek to continue its journey climbing the divisions.

PressOn was tasked with developing a vibrant design spanning several areas and, more importantly, a design that spans into a new, exciting era for Wrexham AFC, as the club continues its trajectory in improving both on and off the pitch. Club branding and some much needed colour were absolute essentials, all strategically chosen to boost player morale and create a powerful pre-game atmosphere that ignites competitive spirit.

Wrexham AFC executive director Humphrey Ker said, ‘We are thrilled with the design that has been printed across the corridors and player tunnel within the Stōk Cae Ras. Not only is the finished piece visibly bold and impressive, but with its eco credentials this work underlines Wrexham AFC’s commitment to enhance the stadium in a more sustainable manner.

‘The latest designs embody our well stated ambitions, within the club’s mission statement, of matching progress on the pitch with the progression we have made on it.’

‘We have a vast amount of experience in using latex technology having invested in our first printer in 2008 – now we are 100% HP Latex printers,’ said Andy Wilson, managing director of PressOn. ‘The sustainable inks, which are water based, cooperate well with the materials we use. This project was for installation onto walls within corridors. From the submission of artwork to the required installation date, we had a small production window and we had no qualms in meeting the deadline, which other print technologies would not have been suitable for due to the confined spaces and odours the print would have emitted.’
