Company Background
Kings Stickers, established in 2013 and based in Portugal, specialises in custom graphics for Motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs. Renowned for producing high-quality products, Kings Stickers serves riders worldwide with bespoke graphic solutions.
Project Overview
Kings Stickers recently completed a custom street bike project, leveraging advanced materials from Substance Europe. The project aimed to deliver exceptional quality and durability in motorcycle graphics, ensuring aesthetics and performance under various conditions.
Challenges
Before discovering Substance Europe's products, Kings Stickers faced significant challenges with other brands, including:
- Poor adhesiveness
- Delamination issues
These issues compromised the quality and longevity of their custom graphics, necessitating a switch to more reliable materials.
Solution
For the custom street bike project, Kings Stickers selected Substance Europe's Ultracurve X1 Vinyl and Ultracurve 800 Overlaminate. The decision was based on specific characteristics of these products:
- Ultracurve X1 Vinyl: Chosen for its ability to prevent air bubbles during application.
- Ultracurve 800 Overlaminate: Selected for its thinner profile compared to Ultracurve 1500, facilitating easier shaping of large and curved superbike panels.
Implementation
The use of Ultracurve X1 Vinyl combined with Ultracurve 800 Overlaminate resulted in:
- Seamless application without air bubbles
- Enhanced ability to shape and conform to complex panel surfaces
- A smooth, professional finish
Customer Feedback
The transition to Substance Europe’s materials has been transformative for Kings Stickers. The customer highlighted:
- A significant improvement in adhesiveness
- Elimination of delamination issues
- Cost-effectiveness and high quality of Substance Europe’s product range
“The results are amazing. The different types of overlaminate allow us to give the final touch, making our unique projects stand out.”
For extreme applications, such as rock crawling and UTV vehicles exposed to harsh racing conditions and powerful jetwash machines, Kings Stickers opts for Ultracurve X1 Vinyl with Ultracurve 1500 Overlaminate. This combination ensures:
- Superior adhesiveness
- Robust protection against environmental conditions
Conclusion
Substance Europe’s wide range of high-quality vinyl and overlaminate products has become Kings Stickers' first choice for printing and laminating solutions. By overcoming previous challenges with other brands, Kings Stickers can now consistently deliver outstanding custom graphics that stand the test of time and elements.
