Aircraft grade decals for rental market

An aviation painting and branding company in the UK has expanded its decal, vehicle livery and instruction label division to target the rental market.

The company, Airbourne Graphics & Signs, is a sister company to Airbourne Colours which paints and brands commercial aircraft. The graphics operation was set up in 2015, but last year it acquired Escape Design & Print and recruited Josh Murphy, a veteran of the access rental industry, as sales and marketing manager. It is now expanding its operations.

Airbourne Graphics is a division of aircraft paint company Airbourne Colours

Based in Castle Donnington and East Midlands Airport, the original Airbourne business was established in 2010 to offer a paint and livery service for commercial aircraft. The Graphics and Signage operation works with a number of construction related companies as well as football clubs such as Leicester City and Arsenal. In addition to printing decals, the company offers a design service and on site installation when required.

The company also offers an installation service

It says that its decals are printed on aviation grade material and as a result claims that they are stronger and more robust than standard vinyl decals. The company also offers all vehicle wraps for trucks, vans, cranes and aerial work platforms.
