Well it’s nearly Christmas, and nothing says Christmas like the UV print custom build we got to do for the guys over in Southbank including; Custom designed and hand crafted chairs built at our joinery, then the inserts printed and cut and fitted in our factory, a one of a kind reindeer! Designed, printed, cut, assembled all in factory and transported up to Southbank for the Xmas markets, a very festive pattern uv printed directly onto the timber and mounted as facades for the Xmas market shops.
It looks like it’s going to be a great time as they’ll be having multiple events over the christmas period including the Stanley Street markets and performers and some yummy food and drinks to eat.
Here’s a set of trophies we enjoyed making here at Potato Press. The large trophy is a perpetual award for the ‘James Slipper Trophy’ at Bond University. The small one is for the recipient to take home.
We created these custom trophies for the Coast of Origin surfing competition. The winners won the laser etched + printed plaque, and the runner ups won the straight printed plaque.
The Mad Hueys are hosting The Komune Bali Pro surfing competition at Kermas Beach in Bali, and they approached us to build some trophies for the winners.
The colours really pop on the UV print on the acrylic and the wood back.
Here’s some action from the event:

It’s always exciting when we are given more room to be creative with our job. So when the Pica Awards Committee asked us to come up with not 1 but 2 creative trophies we couldn’t wait to get started!
So here is the Environmental Trophy with a layered lasercut acrylic/wood combo to create the effect of water over land. And also the Progressive Trophy which is contemporary and visually striking (much like the work of the person receiving the award), made with coloured layered acrylic. Both were finished nicely with our joinery wood borders.
The guys over at Bass Nation asked us to come up with something really cool for their fishing competitions that they are having. So we created these custom layered pieces, along with some keyrings for the competitors; that we were excited to hand over to them.
Bond University asked us to make something unique, sophisticated and functional for their 25th Anniversary Ball. This is what we came up with, and couldn’t be happier with the final outcome.
We were given the opportunity to create some custom trophies for Coronis Real Estate. Using layered laser cut acrylic, we achieved a great, unique looking award for Coronis to present their employees.
Here’s some trophies created for Olympus working with some bright colours and timber, overall we’re happy with the result.
We created these great looking timber signs for the Brisbane Marketing team in time for the Regional Flavours Food Festival in South Bank, Brisbane. These things were BIG and complimented the designs perfectly.
Here is a mirrored pair of trophies that we were asked to design and fabricate for the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron. We incorporated laser cut stainless steel, laser cut acrylic and 2 pac base; and got creative with the design and construction. We are all very happy with the end result!
