COVID-19 Desktop & Checkout Dividers

Project Spotlight: COVID-19 Desktop, Checkout & Self- Checkout Dividers

Now that retailers, banks, salons, etc are beginning to open back up, there is a "new normal" to adapt to in many ways. In order for businesses to comply with the CDC guidelines, many precautions have been put in place. The main concern is keeping patrons and employees safe and businesses running. XP Retail and Matrix Frame have developed hygiene barriers that can be utilized either freestanding on the ground or on a desktop.

This simple and easy solution will create the separation needed between patrons, and make everyone feel comfortable. These dividers are portable and easy to assemble, and you can create customized graphics that are easily wiped down. Our goal is to help your business get back to work and develop a safe environment for all retail and public spaces to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Appalachian State University

Project Spotlight: Appalachian State University

Last fall Appalachian State University set up a photo booth at one of their football games for the students to have a little fun. Their goal was to display their charismatic students throughout the hallways and create high energy on campus. Given these unprecedented times, this high energy bouncing through the campus halls will be a nice reminder of just how great the students of App State are and continue to thrive when they head back in the fall.

Initially, these images were printed on vinyl and as a result, they warped and rolled up. Since the school intends on keeping this a tradition, we knew this would be a great opportunity for SEG graphics because of the durability and are easily changed out. We used profile #16 for a slim and sleek look. Each frame was 26" x 31", powder-coated to a textured black and each graphic was printed by dye sublimation on deco fabric. The XP Retail team took a trip to the campus to install each frame and we are excited to continue to see the graphics change over the coming years!

Queen City To The Music City Run

Queen City to Music City St. Jude's Run

Our leader of the pack Joshua Miller has decided to cross a bucket list goal off of his list. This Sunday at 11:00 A.M, Josh sets out and will be running from Charlotte, NC to Nashville, TN! Yup, you read that right, 410 miles in total. Why? Well, Josh is a marathon runner, he has run the Nashville Marathon for years and had been training for the upcoming race that was scheduled at the end of April but due to COVID-19, it was canceled. Josh did not want his training to go to waste, so he woke up the day of the race and ran the whole race solo while family and friends cheered him on along the way...and he PR'd. So with all of the hype, St Jude's caught wind of his craziness and asked if he would be interested in taking it a bit further to raise money to help support the families of St Jude's. SO.. plans have been made, the route has been mapped, the fundraising goal has been set. The route has been mapped out so he will be running all back roads. His family will be following along in their RV and his wife in a chaser car equipped with all of his water, snacks, and first aid should he need it. There will be a send-off party at the start line at one of Charlotte's finest breweries and in Nashville, he will wrap up his race running down infamous Broadway Street. Josh will be met by his family, friends, and some really grateful St Jude's families.

XP Retail and Matrix Frame along with a few other companies are proud to sponsor such a big goal for such a great cause. This is a foundation that holds a special place in their hearts and we hope you will follow along the next two weeks! A hefty goal has been set and you can read more about why they chose that amount and donate at https://www.queencitytomusiccity2020.com Every dollar counts!!

5 Reasons to use SEG Fabric and Matrix Frames:

The signage industry is always evolving to create eye-catching displays. It is no secret the industry has gravitated to tension fabric graphics. Changing the design can enhance the visibility of your business. As a dealer for Matrix Frame we are seeing these modern frames pop up everywhere from Airports, Arenas, Retail Environments, to Tradeshows. These graphics allow for a cleaner look and give a quality image with no glare. SEG fabric and Matrix Frames are shaping the way we utilize signage. Here's why...

Easier to Install: 
Each graphic has a silicone edge that is hand sewn on. This makes it easy to insert the graphic into the grove of the frame for a secure fit. 

Economical Shipping/Packing Cost:
Shipping and packaging can add up quickly for signage. Fortunately, with fabric graphics, they are easily folded down and packed to make for easy and more cost-effective shipping. Our frames can also be shipped broken down to allow more economical shipping rates. 

Durability: 
Both of our fabric options are extremely durable. Our non-lit Deco fabric is machine-washable, and both Deco and Lightbox Superbacklit can be folded and stowed away without ink transfer. 

No Glare:
This is a big one. A no-glare option is great for a variety of environments. If you are investing in quality signage you do not want any disruptions and our product is a great way to ensure this. 

Versatile to Different Environments:
Whether you are working on a seasonal roll out in your retail environment, a large banner in your local sports arena, or your upcoming trade show, the options are endless. No project is too big or too small. Our graphics are designed to be installed and removed with ease. We walk you through the entire experience right down to the art specs and make sure you get top tier quality. 

Above all, we at XP Retail pride ourselves with our exceptional customer service. Creating strong partnerships with each client. We do our very best to build our client's trust right from the start. It is no wonder why the industry is shifting towards tension fabric graphics, but it makes for an even better experience when you have a team that has your back guiding you along the way.

XP Retail Office Space and Showroom

Project Spotlight: XP Retail Office Space and Showroom

When we moved into our new office space we were very excited to create a space that showcased our great big ideas. Utilizing our new Room Divider profile, we created individual, customizable office spaces for each employee. We couldn't stop there, we knew we wanted a space we could meet together as a team so a 12' x 12' conference room with magnetic shelves and a large plexiglass window was created.

One of the key benefits of building the office space with the RD profile is that each employee was able to handpick the graphics for their office to make the space their own. Keep scrolling to see each individual office.

In addition to the custom office spaces, we also added suspended ceiling signs in several different shapes and sizes, made from a variety of Matrix Frame profiles. The walls feature a Profile 120, 6' x 6' ft halo-lit lightbox, a panoramic wrap-around frame, and a large, eye-catching 19' x 7' recessed lightbox above the front doors.

We love our new space and we invite you to come and see it for yourself and learn what is possible for your office renovation.
