The name of the model on the scuff plate is different depending on whether the car is sold for domestic or overseas use. Need to avoid over/under stocking from having different names for domestic and overseas car sales.

Yamacs recommended replacing only the logo portion of the model name with metallic print (Cubee).

The metallic print goes well with the stainless steel of the scuff plate to give a fully integrated feel.

The car manufacturer was able to prevent overstocking and relieve pressure on purchasing by ordering only the panels needed for each model after ensuring the same material needed for total number of cars in Japan and overseas.

We were able to get a low purchase price while maintaining the quality of appearance. (Designer)

The car manufacturer wants to decorate the dashboard. They were looking at a design in which a two-part molded product with a complicated shape is connected together. The manufacturer was unable to find a way to decorate the dashboard with the level of accuracy needed.

Yamacs recommended the use of a waterslide transfer.

First, we tested how easy it was to paste and how well the transfer conformed to the molded curved surface using a prototype. We then checked adhesion to the dashboard surface and performed physical property tests required for the interior of the car.

We were able to decorate the molded product, something which was difficult to do with other techniques. We were also able to ensure accurate positioning thanks to the nature of the waterslide transfer.

The transfer method has made it possible to reproduce designs not normally possible with pad printing. (Designer)

Graphics on an off-road motorbike don’t last long due to the harsh conditions the bikes are used in.

Yamacs recommended to print graphics on the back of a highly-durable thick film.

Normally the layers of ink on a sticker wear away but by using a thick film the surface layer is less likely to deteriorate.

We succeeded in producing a back print which sticks well and conforms to the plastic parts on a cubic curved surface and which is less likely to deteriorate from abrasion and chipping.

You gave us a great looking motorbike. We’ll roll this out to other models too!　(Developer)
