Bear Nibbles

The Graphical Tree produced the office graphics for Bear Nibbles. They are a fantastic healthy food brand, now established as one of the market leaders in children’s healthy snacks. Now sold in most supermarkets across the UK, they are certainly gaining recognition. The graphics themselves were designed by the equally fantastic B&B design studio.

Our brief was to produce and install a range of graphic solutions. This covered giving the space a real sense of the brand's visual language, alongside creating a playful environment for staff to enjoy.

The graphics were produced to work across the two floors of their new space (or should that be bear den).

The team at The Graphical Tree love a challenge. We had a three week timescale to carry out an end to end solution. So that's a detailed site visit, price quote, assessing sizes and surfaces, then print and install. It goes without saying the graphics had to fit perfectly in this complex environment.

As a result we applied self adhesive and cut vinyl to 11 areas within the offices. This included walls, glass offices, stairwells and fittings.

Every job has a unique obstacle or two, and this was no different. Much of the wall space was painted brickwork with other architectural quirks including exposed electrics and mixed materials.

Our team of installers set to work, armed with rolls of printed high tack conformable vinyl. The graphics were painstakingly applied to perfection across the very textured brick surface. This particular vinyl is well suited to the challenge of fitting graphics to brickwork. It is heated when applied, allowing it to conform around rough surfaces and retain the texture underneath.

Along with the brick work wall manifestations, we applied vinyl decals to the glass meeting rooms. This allowed for a degree of privacy within the meeting rooms, but allowed for visibility between the graphics.
