Train corporate livery, branding & graphic wraps
Our comprehensive approach to livery, branding and train wrap design will ensure consistent implementation and brand integrity across your rolling stock and if required, your vehicle fleet.
Using a combination of paint, vinyl and film technologies SSDM is able to transform rolling stock to the highest quality standards, to customer specific requirements, with minimal implications for operational efficiency thanks to the careful project management and 'any depot' working for which SSDM is renowned.
Livery design management
We work closely with your design agency or supplier at the design stage of your livery, giving advice on materials, application and layout and rationalising the concept to ensure it will work optimally in each planned application.
As part of our project management process we provide a full template and prototype service ensuring design compliance, material optimisation, component accuracy and application performance.
Train wrap & graphic material specification
SSDM provides support from the outset of a corporate livery and train branding project, guiding customers through the complex process of material specification, which is influenced by many factors including budget constraints, accurate colour reproduction, design complexity, durability, regulatory and sustainability concerns.
Throughout the design process, high quality combined with minimised and predictable cost of ownership is fundamental to our approach. Our design process will look at materials selection to ensure optimum durability and performance within your budget.
We have close partnerships with the leading materials suppliers. To maintain our quality standards and achieve the most cost effective results, we ensure that our staff and support teams are trained and experienced with all the materials we employ.
Livery & branding audit
Our audit will underpin a cost effective approach to a programme rollout and form the basis for a specific application guide for your rolling stock that makes it easy to order specific, replacement graphics components when required.
We will fully survey your fleet, evaluating and recommending suitable scope of works based on your primary objectives as well as looking at improved repair and maintenance processes to save you time and money. In line with this we will work with you to create the optimum time line for project delivery based around your operational requirements and obligations.
Refurbishment & graphic application service
We have skilled, experienced teams, directly employed by SSDM, applying and repairing train liveries and internal graphics for our train operator clients nationwide. By using depot safe procedures we can work at any of your sites; meaning you don't need to move your trains to special works and we can provide a highly responsive, cost effective service that minimises downtime.
Commitment to best quality, best support & the environment
SSDM holds ISO9001:2008 and ISO14001:2004 certification for the manufacture and installation of graphics and signage products and applications.
As an authorised manufacturer for our key material suppliers, SSDM offer comprehensive warranty and aftercare support services, so that your investment in fleet livery is protected and your operating costs kept low and predictable.
