Shipping containers, used throughout the world to ship goods, were created in America in about 1950. Made of corrugated steel, resistant to extreme weather conditions, with two doors at either end, containers are subject to international regulations that govern their safety in terms of handling and transportation.
Today, the container has become a tool destined for various uses such as living quarters, shops or exhibition spaces.
In particular, the increasingly cyclical and temporary nature of goods has given rise to the Temporary Stores. The need of brands to impress and surprise its customers has suddenly generated Pop-Up Stores, in particular locations or where there is a lot of footfall. To better meet the need for solutions that are temporary, memorable and easy-to-dismantle, there is an eternal search for solutions, and consequently materials, that mirror and comply with the type of message to convey.
Compo Tech Co. has come up with the right combination of magnetic materials to achieve an installation and display that is dynamic, re-usable, light and practical, thus meeting these exact requirements.
For a well-known client, during Expo 2015 in Milan, Compo Tech Co. experts fitted out the inside of a temporary container.
The inside walls of two twenty-foot containers were covered on three sides with the MAG FILM 70/40 magnetic sheet. MAG FILM was applied on PVC panels secured using magnets to the walls of the container. Whereas the graphics were printed directly on DIGI FLEX, extra-thin metallic PET, which is waterproof and features a corrosion-proof matt surface. The use of DIGI FLEX is recommended in all applications where there must be no visible joins. The metallic sheet can be produced in formats up to 1.5 m wide and up to 30 m long.
The dimensions of the metallic sheet are in fact greater than 1 m wide and over 2 m long.
The elasticity and flexibility of both the materials used make them easy-to-apply. The sheets also adapt well to curved surfaces.
