THE TUNNEL at Wrexham AFC's home ground has recently been updated as part of the club's sustainability plans.

The football club has worked with long-term HP customer, PressOn - one of the UK’s leading Large Format Print firms - for the design and installation of new graphics within the STōK Cae Ras football stadium.

With a portfolio including a HP Latex 3600 and HP Latex R2000, PressOn are experts when it comes to producing high quality digital prints for both outdoor and indoor settings.

The job required custom made wraps to be designed, developed, and installed for a variety of spaces within the stadium, including the corridors leading to the player dressing rooms.

The designs created had to highlight the legacy, achievement and history of the Football Club to every player who will walk through the corridors over the next few years – as Wrexham seek to continue their journey climbing the divisions.

Working in conjunction with the HP teams, PressOn were tasked with developing a vibrant design spanning several areas within the lower Wrexham Lager Stand and, more importantly, a design that spans into a new, exciting era for Wrexham AFC.

Club branding, and some much needed colour were absolute essentials, all strategically chosen to boost player morale and create a powerful pre-game atmosphere that ignites their competitive spirit.

HP Latex inks are amongst the most environmentally friendly in printing. With the investment in HP Latex printing technology, the designs are water-based and provide a sustainable printing method when compared to typical UV and solvent based print technologies.

In 2021, Wrexham AFC co-owners, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, outlined in a mission statement their commitment, “to a more ecologically-sustainable version of the club and stadium.”

Wrexham AFC Executive Director Humphrey Ker said: “We’re thrilled with the design that has been printed across the corridors and player tunnel within the STōK Cae Ras.

"Not only is the finished piece visibly bold and impressive, but with its eco credentials this work underlines Wrexham AFC’s commitment to enhance the stadium in a more sustainable manner.

“The latest designs embody our well-stated ambitions, within the club’s mission statement, of matching progress on the pitch with the progression we have made on it.

"As we look to continue climbing the footballing pyramid, projects like this with HP and PressOn help us to elevate the stadium in parallel and transform these spaces through innovative design with HP Latex technology.”
