Wyndeham Heightens Unilever Brand's Awareness
Unilever Foods has collaborated with Wyndeham Colourlink to take its brand exposure to a new level in a vehicle brand promotion.
The commemorative production has a four-page cover and 112 pages of text with a print run of 240,000 copies.
Text pages were printed at Wyndeham Impact on one of its 16-page Heidelberg web presses and the covers were produced by Wyndeham Westway on a six-colour Heidelberg sheet-fed press.
An enhanced print specification, including silk coating, holographic foil and belly wrap was created for a further 7,000 VIP versions of the commemorative brochure, which was printed sheet-fed at Wyndeham Westway.
Paul Hubbard of E P Homan Associates, contract publishers for the event, said: "Trafalgar 200 is a one-off event so it was vital to get the correct partners in place.
The brief, as supplied by the Royal Navy, was to produce something 'beautiful' and high quality that will endure as a souvenir until the next fleet review and beyond.
As such events occur, on average, only every 30 years the greatest attention to print quality is essential.
Wyndeham were awarded the contract for their diversity in being able to provide a combined sheet-fed and web offset print capability and because we knew they would provide the personal care and attention that this job required." Over 1.5 million people were expected to attend the International Fleet Review that marks the start of six months of celebrations to commemorate the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and the death of Admiral Lord Nelson.
