Container graphics
A container sits in the same place for months, in full view of everyone passing. Unprinted, it is a grey box. Printed, it is your largest advertising carrier on site.
What this gives you
From first sketch to maintenance — one partner who handles everything in-house.
One partner, from A to Z
You call one number. We measure, design, produce, install and maintain. No fragmented responsibility, no waiting on subcontractors pointing at each other.
You see it before it exists
A 3D visualisation of your own façade or space, by day and by night. We only start producing once that image is right. No surprises afterwards.
In-house production in Olen
Custom work from our own workshops, without intermediaries. That means a shorter lead time, a sharper price, and changes that are genuinely still possible.
Built to last
ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Colourfast, weather-resistant materials and energy-efficient LED lighting. With long-term service and maintenance.
Container wraps: from neutral volume to eye-catcher
A container, a shipping container or a large storage box often stands on the most visible spot of a site and says nothing at all. A container wrap changes that: the entire outer skin is covered with printed vinyl, turning a neutral volume into a brand carrier or an eye-catcher in one operation.
We design, print and install container wraps for businesses, contractors, event organisers, local authorities and hospitality concepts built into containers.
What it is used for
On construction sites, where the site office stands at the street side for months on end and is therefore free advertising space. On business parks, as a finish for storage containers. At events, where containers serve as a bar, ticket desk or information point. At hire companies, to make their own fleet recognisable. And for hospitality and retail concepts operating from a container, where the wrap is the entire shopfront.
One side effect clients often underestimate: a wrapped container attracts noticeably less graffiti. A blank container wall invites tagging; a finished image far less so.
The substrate is the challenge
A container is not a flat wall. The corrugated profile, the welded seams, the rivets and the hinges make application a craft. That has two consequences which need to be discussed up front.
First, the film. We work with a cast vinyl that can be pressed into the corrugations and stays there. A cheap calendered film pulls back out of the depth of the corrugation after a few weeks and lifts at the edges.
Second, the design. Fine text and thin lines distort in the corrugation. We allow for that in the design by keeping the message large and robust, and by not running important elements across a door hinge or a locking bar.
Rust, flaking paint and grime have to go before application. On an older container the preparation is often the largest part of the job; we say so beforehand rather than afterwards.
Full or partial
A full wrap is the most spectacular but is not always necessary. Often a large logo on the long side plus the company name on the doors is enough. That costs a fraction and gives the same recognition from a distance.
We are happy to put both proposals forward with a photo montage of your own container, so you see the difference before you decide.
Service life
A correctly applied wrap in quality film with a UV laminate lasts several years, even on a container that stands outdoors. Without a laminate the print fades visibly faster, particularly in red and blue. Damaged areas can be repaired locally without redoing the whole panel.
Removal is possible; with older film, allow more time and the use of heat.
What determines the price?
A container wrap has no fixed price. The cost follows from the number of sides treated and the total surface area, the container size, the film quality and whether a UV laminate is used, the condition of the substrate and the preparation work involved, the complexity of the design, whether the container stands somewhere accessible, and whether we produce the design.
Send us photos of the container and the dimensions, and you will receive a photo montage together with a quotation.
Prices are available in the Herva-Doublet Platform.
Submitting your container
Send us a few photos of every side and your brand guidelines. We will produce a design proposal and tell you honestly what preparation is needed.
A banner as an alternative
Where the container moves regularly or changes client, a tensioned banner over or against the container is often more practical than vinyl. It goes on and comes off faster, and the banner can be reused on the next container. Vinyl gives the tightest result and follows the shape; a banner bridges the ribs and looks flatter. We will set the two side by side for your situation.
