Tara Beach Resort Vanuatu - Key Tags and Signage

One of our first jobs on our New Laser Machine was for The Tara Beach Resort in Vanuatu.
We designed and produced the Key Tags for all of their rooms. We laser cut and etched the tags from Fijian Ply with a marine grade varnish over the top.
The Tir Na Nog’ Laser Etched Sign is for the Resort Owners House on the Island. Tir Na Nog’ is an old celtic saying meaning “Land of the Young”. The sign was made from Meranti wood with a Marine Grade varnish.

Gunnersens Laser Cut Gift Note Pad Boxes

Happy New Year!!!! After a great 2011, we have hit the ground running in 2012. Already starting to get busy.

Here is a huge job we finished last year.
We had to make thousands of these Laser Cut and Laser Etched Note Pad Boxes for Gunnersens, who are Australia’s largest privately owned Timber and Wood-Based Panel supply company. They were used for their corporate christmas gifts.
We came up with all of the concepts through to final designs for the boxes. Gunnersens supplied the veneered MDF, of course, we then Laser Cut and Etched them, then had to put them all together by hand.
Big job, but the final product was great and the client was stoked!

 

Custom Designed and Made NuFlow Trophy

This is a recent project we did for NuFlow Technologies.

We had to design and produce their annual awards trophies and wall plaques.
There were 4 different categories, each one incorporating a different colour.
The trophies are a stand alone piece handed out to the winner of each category. The wall plaques are a larger version of the trophy, which hang on the wall of the NuFlow head office and get updated each year with the new winners.

The trophies consist of 3 separate layers of acrylic, each one a different colour. It also have a laser etched plaque and a domed logo.

Here is one of the finished products.

Sustainable Products

Potato Press is committed to sourcing, promoting and providing timber products that are certified under FSC ®. As an active supporter of the campaign to improve forest management and with growing public awareness of environmental issues, we have made significant moves towards stocking a wider range of products that originate from certified forests.

As a natural and potentially sustainable resource, well managed forests from which forest products are produced, provide significant and measurable environmental and economic benefits to communities, regions, countries and consumers.

Organisations such as Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) have developed standards outlining what is required to ensure forests are well managed. Forests are certified by an independent third-party against these standards.

Consumers need to be able to identify which wood products have originated from certified forests. This can be difficult, as wood can pass through various owners and processes before reaching the consumer.

Potato Press are committed to caring for our environment, both natural and man-made, to the best of our ability.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Billabong Pro Teahupo'o Tahiti Andy Irons Forever Award 2011

We here at Potato Press feel very privileged to have produced the very first Andy Irons Forever Award for the 2011 Billabong Pro in Teahupo’o Tahiti.

We were involved from the design and concept stage all the way through to completion.
It was made from a combination of Laser Etched and Cut Red Cedar, A Grade Ply and Brushed Aluminum Acrylic.
All the pieces were layered on top of each other to give the trophy depth and texture.

A huge congratulations goes to Jeremy Flores from France who was awarded the trophy for the most committed surfer of the whole event.
Flores surfed unbelievably well throughout the whole comp and even scored a perfect heat, getting two 10 point rides.

Check out the clip below of Bruce Irons presenting the Trophy to Jeremy Flores. Check out full coverage of the event over HERE
