Vroom, Vroom – Acorn goes racing
May 2, 2013
The race track just got more dangerous as Acorn makes the starting grid.
Acorn Printing has joined the jet set world of motor racing by entering a car in the 750 MC RGB Championship.
Our intrepid driver is none other than Acorn Director Duncan Horlor, who will be guiding the Millennium Security Spire GTR around the 7 round Championship this season. Each round is a double header so that’s a total of 14 gruelling races.
The first team outing took place at Brands Hatch (yes, this is serious stuff) over the 27th and 28th April. Despite extremely wet conditions and a power failure in qualifying, we managed to achieve a 5th place. Not too shabby for our very first race.
You might be a bit surprised to hear that we were pleased about the rain but it was a good opportunity to test out our beautifully personalised race awning and race team shirts and jackets (we had to get a plug in somewhere).
Duncan will be keeping you up to date on his race preparations and giving details of how he gets on in the next set of races on our Facebook page so it’s worth taking a look.
If you need help, assistance or advice on choosing awnings and canopies just call our hotline freephone 0800 0190 552 or email sales@acorn-printing.co.uk for a free quote today.

Damsels in distress – It’s The Wolf
Could Acorn get the ladies to the race on time?
It was just one of those ordinary Fridays. Plenty of orders going through and not too much to report. Then all hell breaks loose.
Esqué beauty salon in Leamington Spa are on the phone, with a problem. They are competing in the renown Wolf Run wild running event at the weekend, but the people who were due to provide them with personalised running shirts has let them down. Can Acorn get them out of a hole?
First thing to find out is what they need. Apparently black, long sleeve t-shirts will look fab (we have to be somewhat fashion conscious for a beauty salon) and fortunately our well provided stock room means we have those to hand.
Then the artwork. Well we can help by using the style of the existing logo and creating striking image with bold Team Esqué lettering to let the other competitors know who they are up against.
Finally can we get the garments printed and delivered on time? Well this is where our investments in clever printing equipment comes in. It’s so easy to set up print jobs that we just bump a less urgent job off the run and make Esqué the priority. And as for delivery – well it’s a pleasure (and not too far) to make this one a personal drop-off.
Now it’s over to you girls.
Postscript: Months, or possibly weeks, of training clearly paid off. The whole Esqué team finished the gruelling Wolf Run and raised a shed load of money for Cancer Research in the process.
It’s a matter of opinion whether the running shirts look better clean or caked in mud.

in Banners, Promotional
We have increased the size of our sign department and the size of our pop up displays.
Acorn has been supplying roller and roll up banners to a wide range of businesses and organisations for over eight years.
An increase in the size of our sign department means we’ve negotiated even better rates with our suppliers, so you can get fully customised banners at competitive rates wherever you are across the UK.
At the same time we have also added even bigger banner options to the range, so you make an even bigger impact at your next event. You can now get single panel banners that are up to 15200 mm wide and 2150 mm high.
However if you want to make a mega splash then the Link Roller Banner system allows you to connect banners to create a complete wall of branding and promotional messages.

A onesie for every occasion
April 8, 2013
If you thought Onesies were just for a comfy slouch around the house…
Ever since Acorn added a Onesie option to our range of ready-to-personalise garments the number of “interesting” requests has soared.
It seems that any time a group of girls gets together it’s a potential “Onesie Fiesta”.
We’ve had request for onesies for; Race For Life events, hen nights, bridesmaid, teams, leavers, students and school trips.
There have also been some requests that we couldn’t possibly tell you about – we’ll just leave it to your imagination.
Our soft fleece feel onesie comes in six colour options (from Hot Pink to Sapphire) and four sizes. Most importantly we can print and embroider your choice of names, messages and pictures on the back or left breast of the garment. This means that you can celebrate whatever event or activity you are getting up to in style.

So long Time Team – see you on Dave
April 4, 2013
They may have stopped recording the Time Team but it will live on on digital channels and in merchandise.
Sad to see that the last new episode of the Time Team has recently aired. It was quite a phenomenon wasn’t it: a popular TV show about archaeology. Fortunately it is likely that we will continue to see it on a variety of digital channels for a long time to come.
Acorn is proud of its association with the show. We supported the merchandising and fulfilment process and a range of our printed and embroidered merchandise is still available on the Time Team website.
In fact our work with the Time Team has been replicated for a variety of other organisations. If you have ever been to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford upon-Avon take a look at the shop. You’ll see a variety of items with printed and embroidered designs courtesy of Acorn.
There is a massive range of garments and accessories on our website, all available for personalisation and customisation to suit your requirements.
