LAtest from XIC
XIC is about more than design, print and display. Say hello to our products with purpose.
As the exhibition calendar begins to ramp up across all industries, we wanted to create a solution that made designing your stand simple and easy, yet extremely eye catching and unique. To do this, we’ve engineered a bespoke fixing solution that allows a wall-based Tension Fabric System (TFS) to be fitted seamlessly to a shell scheme, providing a stunning frameless appearance, with continuous fabric graphic print.
With interchangeable graphics and a design that is easy for clients to fit themselves, it`s no wonder we`ve had strong interest in this solution already!

Delivered by Forrest Training, this course provides our team with the necessary skills to administer safe, prompt and effective basic life support as well as how to use an automated external defibrillator in emergency situations, which we`ve also just purchased for our building!
Our staff has not only learned vital new skills that are important for the workplace, but it is also widely beneficial for outside of work too. Well done to everyone on their new qualification!

Last year, STR took its clients to Murrayfield stadium to watch the highly anticipated Scotland vs All Blacks game. Looking for VIP event material to enhance the overall experience, STR gave us free rein to come up with a concept for the event, the team’s main request? Something that was memorable.

We’ve just completed a project with decommissioning expert Well-Safe Solutions to visually enhance protective casing for its asset model.
Using premium vinyl for the logo and company colours, the new display elevates its brand identity while not distracting from the model itself, showing off the intricacies and technical spec of its product and operations.
To finish off the project, we added a plaque inside the casing, ensuring Well-Safe’s visitors and clients can discover information on the model while passing by.

A rebrand for Scottish Adventure Club!
Looking for something that represented its activity, we delivered a logo that encompassed ideas of exploring, experiences and being surrounded by nature. Using a colour palette that aligns with the outdoors, the new logo is vibrant and distinguishable.
Following brand completion, we also added vehicle livery to the committee’s van and strategically placed the logo to ensure maximum brand awareness 👌
Check out our video to see the journey to the new brand, and how we’ve presented it across must have items for keen adventurers 🗺

We recently helped out with Kirkwood Homes` showhome village launch and we couldn`t be happier with the end product 🙌🏽
Kirkwood Homes was keen to do something a little different at its latest VIP event and requested a spec to replicate a traditional looking newspaper. This was the perfect time to put our 100% recyclable paper - made completely out of consumer waste - to the test. Full of its key messages, the newspaper details information on Kirkwood`s housetypes, developments, interiors and team members. The finished product is both rustic and sophisticated, oozing quality much like the Kirkwood brand.

We`ve been working with Trump International Scotland to produce high-end tab dividers for its guest services documentation.
Incorporating the luxury of the magnificent hotel and golf course, we used traditional foiling techniques to ooze excellence. The crest and text were first engraved onto copper plates before moving to a machine-based method to apply the gold foil through heat and pressure to the high quality, tactile black paper.
The overall design stands out, is elegant and perfectly aligns with Trump’s well-known brand.

Sleek and simple, yet informative 🤩
This large-scale infographic is actually printed on a wall mounted tension fabric system. Produced for our client, iXBlue Limited, we installed two of these systems onto brick walls ahead of its client open day. This cost effective wall display is the perfect solution for bespoke customer size requirements and once installed, the fabric graphics are full interchangeable ensuring you make the most out of the system. Not to mention, the frameless design adds a modern, sleek edge to the overall appearance 👌

👀Looking for ways to stand out at events and exhibitions?
We love being creative with backdrops to really draw people’s attention to our clients’ stands. Here we’ve been working on high gloss, brickwork effect vinyl panels for a large shell scheme. The graphic adds a fun concept to the design while being a neutral enough background to not distract from the client’s products and services 🤩
Complete with protective lamination and adhered to rigid PVC, our next step is to trim the boards and apply velcro to the reverse side for our client to easily fix to their stand. Simple, yet eye-catching 👌.
