COVER STORY: CHROME GRAFIXX IS READY WITH ROLL AND RIGID MEDIA
Chrome Grafixx is ready with roll and rigid media
Experienced team brings decades of knowledge and expertise to the market.
Graphics industry veterans Leo Bult and Vicky Winslow recently founded a new company to supply high quality media to the local market. After getting off to a flying start, Chrome Grafixx is already distributing a comprehensive range of roll products and rigid media to the New Zealand market.
Despite being the new kid on the block, Chrome Grafixx offers its clients the advantage of decades of industry knowledge and expertise through Leo and Vicky, who had both taken a brief hiatus from the industry but found that they could not stay away.
Vicky says, “While it was good to have a break, we both found that we missed the industry and the amazing people who work in it. We have invested decades of our time in this sector and formed invaluable connections.”
After making the decision to incorporate their industry experience and product knowledge to seek out better solutions for customers, the Chrome Grafixx team set out to establish key relationships with local and international suppliers.
Leo explains, “We could see the advantages of bypassing the middlemen and going directly to the source. It means that we can procure great products at fair prices and pass on these benefits to our customers through better products, better prices, and better support.”
The new company places its customers front and centre. He says, “From the outset, we have had a customer centric approach. We are a small and proficient team with a dedication to excellent customer service, quality support and product delivery. We understand the importance of delivering high quality products, which is admittedly made easier with invaluable industry knowledge and connections.”
A print supply specialist
The team at Chrome Grafixx has a commitment to the print graphics market reflected in its dedication to supplying top-tier roll media and rigid products that drive creativity and excellence to the signage and print industry. Leo says, “We are devoted to providing a comprehensive range of high quality supplies, fair pricing, and outstanding service levels.
“Our offerings are designed to enhance the capabilities of our customers and elevate their projects, meeting the diverse needs of print professionals.”
Leo and Vicky’s impressive list of industry contacts enables Chrome Grafixx customers access to a diverse assortment of quality rigid and roll media. Leo says, “We are proud to collaborate with a network of esteemed suppliers who are leaders in the graphic media industry. Each of our partners are recognised for their innovation, quality, and market position, ensuring that we deliver only the best products to our customers.
“By partnering with these market leaders, known for their commitment to research and development, we not only access a diverse range of superior materials and technologies but also benefit from their industry insights and advancements.
“This strategic alignment allows us to stay ahead of trends, offer state of the art solutions, and maintain a competitive edge in the ever evolving graphic media landscape. Together, we are dedicated to setting new benchmarks for quality and performance, ensuring that our customers receive the most innovative and reliable products.”
Quality matters
Leo and Vicky agree that simply offering a range of products will not cut it with discerning customers who know what they need. Leo says, “We understand that our customers have a diverse range of requirements, and we have tailored our offering to reflect those requirements.”
The Chrome Grafixx portfolio includes an extensive range of premium roll medias and rigid substrates that enhance efficiency and creativity.
Leo adds, “Our commitment to innovation ensures that we continually adapt to industry trends, helping our clients stay competitive and deliver exceptional results. With a focus on reliability and performance, our products are designed to support every aspect of the printing process, from concept to final output.
“We prioritise sustainability, providing eco-friendly options that align with modern environmental standards. For example, we have a huge range of PVC free medias in both roll and rigid which offer an environmentally friendlier alternative to traditional print medias.”
Future Post partnership
Chrome Grafixx is excited to announce its partnership with Future Post, who recycle NZ waste plastic into NZ products – posts, rails, sleepers and bollards. Future Post’s Recycling Advocate (RAd) Partnership Programme provides a Kiwibased, sustainable recycling solution for commercial waste plastics. Chrome Grafixx will conveniently manage the recycling process for their customers who have opted into the recyclable programme, through a pick-up and drop-off service.
Vicky says, “We are proud to champion recycling as a core part of our commitment to sustainability. We believe in the power of small actions to create a big impact, which is why we are proud to partner with Future Post to actively promote responsible recycling and empower our customers to recycle correctly and efficiently. This enables us to promote a positive outcome for end of life polypropylene products where traditionally this widely used product would otherwise end up in landfill.
“It is our aim to foster a culture of environmental responsibility, to lead by example and inspire our customers to make recycling a natural part of their everyday lives. Together, we can help protect our planet for future generations.”
Tailored and on target
Chrome Grafixx has specifically targeted a small but key product range which services a large part of the market but also allows Chrome Grafixx to focus on ensuring inventory levels are well maintained and that its customers have reliable and consistent stock availability.
The Chrome Grafixx product offering includes:
Rigid Media: paper board, corrugated board, construction board, bubble PP, fluted PP, foam board, rigid plastics, and PVC foam.
Roll Media: PVC free, synthetic, window, laminate, promotional, intermediate, and premium selfadhesive PVC. Wallpaper, floor graphics, vehicle wrap, backlit, poster UV paper, and magnets.
