Preston-based wide-format graphics company PPS has completed a project for the Museum of Lancashire which involved printing and installing displays for a number of the refurbished museum's exhibits, using textured wallpaper and other 'new materials and processes'.

PPS provided and fitted more than 100sq m of printed wallpaper for galleries including the curved Lancashire Time Line area, over 60m of printed Foamex for a display showing a panoramic trench scene from WW1, more than 75sq m of direct-printed 15mm birch wood Multiply panels for exhibitions on Lancashire at work and law and order, as well as an interactive magnetic display and other printed acrylic and canvas map presentations.

PPS explains that wallpaper installations had to take place to fit in with building work, cabinet-making and the arrangement of displays for the £1.7m refurbishment at Preston's Quarter Sessions House. 'Finalised designs and artwork [were] fed into PPS's print department on a daily basis', according to the print company, which carried out the work through contractor Conlon Construction.
