Full wraparound — 3 faces

The project

A retail print partner needed a full wraparound hoarding installed for an Arc'teryx pre-opening at Market Mall in Calgary. The scope covered three faces of the hoarding structure — including two corners where panels had to turn and align continuously across the join.

Pre-opening hoardings for premium brands like Arc'teryx carry strict requirements. The graphic quality, alignment, and finish had to match the brand's standards exactly. There's no tolerance for visible seams, bubbles, or misaligned panels on a job like this.

The challenge

  • Night install required — mall remained open until 9pm, access granted after close
  • Three-face wraparound with two corner joins requiring continuous alignment
  • Premium brand standards — zero visible seam misalignment acceptable
  • Full site cleanup required before the mall opened the following morning
  • Coordination with mall management and security for after-hours access

How we executed it

CDN Crew has existing relationships with mall management at Market Mall. Insurance and WCB documentation was already on file, which streamlined the access approval process significantly. Night crew staging began at mall close.

The install sequence was planned to address the corner joins first — the most technically demanding sections — ensuring continuous alignment before the flat panels were applied. All three faces were complete, trimmed, and inspected before the crew cleared the site.

The mall opened the following morning to a complete, clean hoarding. No snagging, no touch-up required.

The Result

Full three-face wraparound hoarding installed overnight, cleaned up, and ready for the mall opening. The print partner's client — one of Canada's premium outdoor apparel brands — had a hoarding that matched their brand presentation standards exactly.

Why this matters to print partners

Mall hoardings at this level aren't just print jobs — they're brand moments in high-traffic public spaces. When a premium brand's hoarding goes up, it's the first thing their future customers see. CDN Crew understands that pressure. We treat every premium retail hoarding install as if our name is on the graphic too — because our work reflects directly on the print partner who brought us in.
