or our talented team of engineers
and marketing mavens. It takes a
large, cross-disciplined team of
creative folk to manage McGowans,
but hey! that’s why we love it.

Add a scodix logo effect

In printing, and life, it’s all about the detail. The small stuff
matters; it tells the story of your business, the quality of
your service, the care and attention you pour into everything
you do. From the humble business card, to something as
seemingly insignificant as an envelope - beautiful, high-quality
branded stationery opens doors and creates impressions.

10. Texture within print (we call it Scodix) captures the curiosity
of your customers. That irresistible urge to reach out and
touch, the instinctive wandering of the eye… it’s all in the
effects. Like magpies, we love our print to shine, and Colour
Logic does just that. And when it’s all wrapped in clever die
cutting, your print will certainly outshine the competition.
• White ink print – stunning results achieved
• Laser die cutting – leading edge technology
• Scodix – adding texture to your print
• Colour logic – metallic print capability
IF PRINTING’S THE STEAK,
EFFECTS ARE THE SIZZLE!

Wobblers, Handbills, Bottle-Neck Collars… we’re not talking Birds-of-
Paradise, we’re talking about retail branding that puts even those little
masters of persuasion in the shade. Part art, part science, McGowans
has been innovating and leading the delivery of Ireland’s retail printing,
display design and signage for over two decades. Outside, through-the-
door, in-store and maybe a little extra something on the way out.

14. Our in-house structural engineers (with a
combined experience of 50 years) understand
that exceptional concepts lead to remarkable
end products. We have created, made and printed
thousands of freestanding display units, bespoke
packaging as well as supplying traditional
exhibition units. Call it the va-va-voom!

LIGHTENING
FAST
Innovation is in our DNA. We love it here at McGowans and
if there is a product out there we think will make your life
easier, then we’re all about snapping it right up! The offering?
Faster displays, a system that ends the difficulties automatic
POP can create. The product? A versatile and simple system
that will revolutionise the POP market. Seeing is believing so
we encourage you to log onto YouTube and look for “Monkey
Channel”. Because it’s so easy, a monkey could do it!

17. MAKE A
SHOW OF
YOURSELF
At McGowans, we understand the importance of exhibitions
and the cost. But with our Swiss Army Knife for Marketing,
the cost effective Clever Frames system solves a lot of your
problems in one order and investment. A multifunctional,
easy to use modular system, Clever Frame is re-usable
with exchangeable graphic panels, along with an array of
accessories you can use to adjust your stand for each event.
And although you may be boxing clever with Clever Frame,
you may need something more traditional for your exhibition
and trade show needs. This is where our roll up and pop up
products come in handy. For meetings to events and trade
shows to expos, we have all the options available to you.
