Perseverance and Teamwork

Every once in a while we all get overwhelmed with a project or task ahead of us - the way we deal with it can either make us stronger or give us gray hair, sometimes both.

We had a recent project that we were very excited about. A new client, a fun vehicle to wrap and an opportunity to shine - of course the challenge was a very tight timeline. We started with the H2 Hummer and wrapped it from top to bottom, covering the the complete top of the vehicle and even covering the spare tire cover. Whew! one piece down and one to go - the trailer!

We had not seen the trailer and were planning on having 5 days from the time we recieved it to having it complete and out the door, just in time for the customer deadline to hook onto it and head off for an out of town tour. Day 1 came and went, no trailer! Day 2 came and went, no trailer! Finally on day 3 the trailer arrived so we could get started - will be a challenge, but we can make it!

Well, as we review the graphics we realize that our client did not have accurate dimensions to design the graphics to and they don't fit the trailer. Now our timeline is very short and we feel the fuse burning. Luckily our client was willing to work with us and drop everything to redesign the graphics within a few hours. That is where the teamwork really started to gel.

Now, we are at the end of day 3, and just starting the process of printing the graphics and preparing the trailer for a complete wrap. After 4 hours of printing, 24 hour wait period to laminate the graphics and our whole crew working as a team we finally completed the trailer at 11pm on the 5th day.

As you can see from the included photo the project turned out fantastic. Had it not been for the teamwork between our staff and client and the perseverence to keep working towards the deadline, even though it seemed impossible at times, this project could have been a disaster.

This has made us stronger and proven what we can do when put to task - not how we want to operate on a regular basis, but non-the-less something to look back on and be proud of!
