Project
Bloem Counter
A practical route for the Bloem counter, shaped around walk-in trade orders, cut vinyl, and collection packs.
How Bloem Counter works through the week
The Bloem counter page is aimed at front-line trade work for walk-in orders and collections. It centres on cut vinyl, collection packs, and the day-to-day handling of signage requests at counter level.
State whether the counter needs cut vinyl, decals, reworked panels, or a collection pack, then add the collection window and what is holding the handover up. In Bloemfontein, dust on acrylics, midday foot traffic, and load shedding around print prep can change how a counter job is packed and labelled. Counter work also needs clear naming when stock is split between walk-in pickups and courier bags for outlying Free State towns.
Measure the counter before anything is recut or packed away. Those sizes help with decal position and pickup prep, and they give the workshop a fixed reference when Bloem walk-in orders are reopened later in the week.
Counter pack and collection checks
The Bloem counter page is built around daily trade handling, not a wide brand rollout. Notes should identify the exact vinyl, panel face, or decal set being remade, along with where it sits on the counter or collection point. One workable layout for the pickup area is more useful than extra concepts that never reach print.
Before linking Bloem Counter to wider shop work, match it against the relevant project note and confirm the current packing list. Check artwork scale, laminate choice, and collection labels again before anything is wrapped for dispatch or held behind the desk. Vinyl and shopfront jobs are measured from the board size and a straight-on shot of the shopfront.

Free State counter conditions
Bloem counter jobs often sit inside busy trade spaces where collections, walk-ins, and quick artwork checks happen at the same desk. Older laminate faces, sun from the shopfront glass, and reused panels from previous promos all affect whether a recut will land neatly. If part of the pack is urgent, separate that from the rest of the weekly signage stack so the handover list stays clear.
Dry inland air and dust call for proper surface prep before any vinyl is applied at counter height. Power interruptions can affect print queues and pickup timing, especially when short-run labels or decals still need trimming. Counter samples should be handled against the actual panel or acrylic in use, not guessed from an old file name.

What to send for Bloem Counter
Brief the Bloem counter with counter photos, order timing, and details of any vinyl, decals, or panels that need rework. Keep the subject line straightforward.
Send the counter note with photos, order timing, and a plain description of what must be reworked. Include whether the job is for walk-in collection, desk display, or a packed set going out with other trade items. Keep vinyl colours, panel sizes, and buyer references in the same note so the collection pack matches the desk copy.
