Jamy beat the recession and employ new staff

Monday, February 14th, 2011

jac-photoWe have heard of the recession, but here at Jamy we have not really suffered its effects. In fact, we have expanded and taken on new employees. One of the new employees is a lady called Jac. She has been recruited for her particular graphic design skill set and work ethic. The addition of Jac represents the continued and consistent growth that Jamy has been experiencing over the past few years.

Prior to joining Jamy, Jac had worked extensively in the design industry in Spain. She will be responsible for the graphic design department in Jamy, taking clients briefs and turning them into the fantastic awards that Jamy are well known for. Jac has experience of both design, print and the software that is used to produce the different awards. With manufacturing experience since 1983 we offer a flexible approach to the production of one-offs or thousands according to your requirements.

Designers like the mix of materials offered here at Jamy Ltd., as it gives them lots of scope and options. Although acrylic led, we work in wood, glass, metal, slate and leather. Reflective luminous and low voltage LED lighting can also be used. You may specify branded acrylic such as Perspex, Repsol, Plexiglas, Madreperla and Lucite and if you’re not sure our experienced team will advise you according to your needs.

It is this way of working that gives our clients great peace of mind that they’re getting the best balance, the most appropriate materials for their needs and more importantly, competitively priced. It’s worth knowing that cast acrylic is a fully recyclable material, making it very environmentally friendly, and you’ll find that here at Jamy Ltd we recycle more than 95% of the ‘waste’ material created in the process before using the reclaimed materials to create awards and plaques.

Wooden Plaques

Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

At Jamy we can produce wooden plaques to any shape, style or format, using a variety of different woods.

In 1984 we produced our first laser engraved cherry wood plaque, producing this for the United States Air Force to commemorate their local air show.

Over the years we have produced a wide range of different plaques for the United States Air Force. The main wood of choice is American Cherry, which is a nice red wood.

American Cherry wooden plaques work very nicely with the CO2 lasers that we use. We can produce very intricate images on Maple, a particularly hard wood.

The CO2 lasers that we use can do very fine work, almost photographic quality but need good input to work from.

A recent order consisted of a beautiful black and white graphic which was wonderful to work with. We made over 50 presentation plaques using the same graphic, good graphics really do make a nice finished wooden plaque that will definitely impress.

A wooden plaque is considered an upmarket product, used predominantly by Charities and Churches. In a Church, for example, which are more traditional, a wooden plaque fits in better than an acrylic plaque.

We produce our wooden plaques either as an individual piece but can produce thousands of the same plaque, each one would be of the same quality, our lasers are consistently accurate.

The wood that we use is personally selected for the best quality, and is only imported from sustainable sources. The CO2 lasers that we use do not burn or scorch the wood, they simply engrave.

The wood that has been engraved by the laser is left a slightly different shade to the existing wood, giving depth to the wooden plaque. We offer a choice of woods, which when combined with our top quality lasers and your graphics, allow you to have a wooden plaque produced in any shape.

50 Ways Plaque System

Monday, September 13th, 2010

From our range of standard parts we can offer at least 50 different styles.

From sublimation dye printed, metal, full colour and digitally printed, backed off with a 10mm thick recycled material to give the plaque a feeling of depth, as well as allowing you to hang the plaque on the wall.

Sublimation print allows you to have really bright and vibrant colours for the metal plaques. The colours range from white, to gold, silver and chrome, of course, all the colours can be built within the different options. And then framed if you wish.

Our backing material uses PVC foam that allows us to cut any shape or size to order and then to put the keyholes in the back. It is a very lightweight material, easy to shape, cheap to ship and resilient enough to stand up to general use.

The material that is discarded is sent back to the factory and recycled. The plaques themselves are approximately half the weight of the wooden plaques that we also supply.

The acrylic plaques are gaining popularity with clients who put them to diverse uses. They typically use them for reception walls, announcing the award of a dealership, congratulations, qualifications, accreditations, informational, etc.

We can turn these plaques around very quickly, there is a process that we have to go through, but they can be produced quicker than the wooden plaques that we also supply. We need to know if the plaque is going to be used indoor or outdoor, wall mounted or screw-fixed, hanging or free-standing.

We can also supply a wide choice of metal wall mounts and stand-offs to compliment the plaques. The plaques can be laser engraved or screen printed back and front. You can encapsulate digital print, print on the acrylic, print on the brushed metal, there are so many combinations, which is why we call it our 50 Ways Plaque System.
