Case Study: Scentre Group

Mesh Direct was lucky enough to be approached by Scentre Group (the owner and operator of Westfield in Australia and New Zealand) to help them with their signage and mesh fencing needs.

Scentre Group has been around since 2014 and is the result of a merger between Westfield Retail Trust and Westfield Group’s Australian and New Zealand management business. It combined the retail real estate assets valued at 43.3 billion and shopping centre ownership interests of 30.8 billion.

The Scentre Group’s shopping centres are highly productive, with massive franchise value and attract an array of the world’s famous retail brands. The shopping centres are a dynamic and essential aspect of the economy, as well as the community’s social fabric.

Scentre came to Mesh Direct for assistance with shopping centre development signage for all over Australia. Every job with Scentre is large-scale, and involves collaborating with numerous people, and making sure that every detail is perfect.

Together with the professionals over at Scentre, the Mesh Direct team organised custom printed banners and signage for the large scale development and construction sites.

Mesh Direct provided the following premium products:

• Safety signs
• Vinyl banners
• Premium banner mesh
• Directional signage
• Lift access signage
• Corflute signage

In addition to various mesh banner and signage products, we covered the developments over a range of different locations, including: Westfield Kotara, Westfield Hurstville, Westfield Miranda and Westfield Bondi Junction.

As usual, we provided the best in customer service, and fast turnaround times to meet Scentre’s tight deadlines. The products we delivered were, as always, of exceptional quality and durability.

We worked in partnership with Scentre Group to create a professional and uniform branded look across numerous different construction and development sites.

As a result, we’ve maintained a thriving relationship with Scentre Group for over two years.

Media Walls – The Perfect Brand Promotional Tool For Events

Media walls are perfect for an extensive range of festival and event signage options and are your premier option for sponsor promotion and brand awareness. All events are unique and have their own style and what a better way to distinguish yourself from the crowd with a personalised and unique media wall to capture the audiences attention. The most common way event organisers are able to distinguish themselves is through a physical sense; through artistry and design they allow themselves and their sponsors memorable to their audience. Many events are flooded with sponsors that all want to get a slice of the attention and what a better way than to achieve optimal branding results than with media wall signage.

In an advertising sense, the use of media walls and event walls for festivals and events is that they generally see tens of thousands of people congregate to a small enclosed space or they have a huge television presence which gains exposure to the masses. There is often a large amount of physical areas with wasted space that could be occupied and used for advertising space in need of covers, media walls and bars or stand wraps along with many more. For sponsors they guarantee a large audience and exposure for their brand and/or message.

Versatility is of high importance and different sizes are often needed for different events. As a result there a varying sizes available to suit all events generally ranging from 2.3m (width) x 2.26 (heights) to 6m (width) x 2.26m (height). To ensure you get the right event wall option speak to the experts and various companies such as ourselves at Mesh Direct to have the right product for the right application.

Media walls have featured and become apart of the event landscape over the past decade and have been seen in some of the largest events in Australia. Events often have tough time constraints and as a result the media wall acquiring process has been perfected to adapt to time pressures and logistical constraints with supplying media walls for events. There are even event printing apps to ensure that things run as smoothly as possible.

Media walls are the perfect option for event and festivals such as brand and product promotions , concerts, product launches, theatrical, media walls for media events, sporting events, marathons, church events, school events and community events.

5 Tips to Ensure a Perfect Banner Installation on Temporary Fencing

Your beautifully printed banner mesh has cost you a bit of money but is now all set to repay you in conveying your message –  you just need to install it. Installing banners on fencing is usually a fairly simple task if you know some basic tips and the cornerstone of those tips is tension. A banner that is crooked, sagging or flapping in the breeze can be more damaging than helpful, displaying a lack of care and sloppiness.

Here are some simple tips to ensure you get the best visual result from your next installation:

1. Purchase the correct substrate and size for your project.  We recommend you always leave some space between the height of the fence and the vertical banner dimension. Our knowledgeable sales consultants will guide you to pick an ideal size and substrate depending on various factors such as wind load, size of fencing, how long you would like to use the banner for etc.
2. Plan the installation when you can have someone else to help you and weather conditions are favourable.
3. Use the correct installation method. Cable ties should be interlaced through the grommets and fencing.
4. The banner should be tightened to the perfect tension ensuring your message displays on a flat canvas
5. Maintain your banner by regularly checking the tension and making any adjustments as necessary.
