The brief

A national print partner needed a full Bacardi brand installation inside the Scotiabank Saddledome — wall graphics and matching floor graphics across a dedicated venue area. The install window was a single overnight between events. The venue is one of the busiest entertainment facilities in Western Canada, and there was no flexibility on timing.

The challenge

NHL arena installs come with conditions that most print partners never have to think about — strict union access rules, load-in protocols, surfaces that aren't standard drywall, and a hard out-time before the building comes back to life for the next event.

Floor graphics in a high-traffic venue also present specific adhesion challenges. The surface has to be right, the film has to be the right spec, and the application has to be flawless — this graphic is getting walked on by thousands of people.

  • Single overnight install window — no second chances
  • Strict venue access and load-in protocols
  • Wall and floor graphic alignment across a non-standard surface environment
  • National brand standards — zero tolerance for visible imperfections

How we executed it

CDN Crew arrived with a pre-briefed crew who had reviewed the venue layout, the graphic file specs, and the surface conditions in advance. We started with the wall graphics to establish the brand framing, then moved to the floor application — ensuring the floor film spec was appropriate for high-traffic wear and applied without bubbles or edge-lift.

The install was completed within the overnight window. Completion photos were sent to the print partner before the venue reopened.

The Result

Full Bacardi branded environment installed and documented within a single overnight window. The print partner's client was present for the opening event the following day — the installation was ready, clean, and exactly to spec.

What this project demonstrates

Venue and event installs require a crew that can work fast, work clean, and work without drama in a high-stakes environment. CDN Crew's value to print partners on jobs like this isn't just the installation — it's the confidence that the job will be done before the deadline, documented, and the crew will be gone before anyone needs to worry about it.
