Training Day

Training Day covers artwork handling, wall prep, fitting sequence and the common mistakes teams find after the first practice install.

How Training Day fits into a real studio week

Training Day covers the hands-on parts of a wall art project, including artwork handling, wall prep and fitting sequence. It also points out the mistakes teams usually spot after their first practice install.

Training Day starts with the job chain from artwork folder to installed panel. Teams check wall paint condition, measuring points, trim lines, and paste or vinyl handling before any live client work. In South African studios, humidity on the coast, dust on active fit-outs, and power interruptions can all change how a practice install is planned.

Bring the first test photo into the session, even if the finish looked acceptable on site. Trainers use it to mark edge lift, bubbles, panel order errors, and crop issues that are easy to miss at a desk. A saved reference beside the production file helps the next installer follow the same standard.

Artwork handoff habits

By the end of Training Day, staff should know where artwork sits, how files are named, and which checks happen before print approval. The session also covers packing order, panel labelling, and the sequence for opening a job on site. One accurate install record is more useful than a long thread of mixed instructions.

Use Training Day with substrate guidance and job notes before sending a new team to site. Review the approved artwork, panel map, wall measurements, and parcel labels again before dispatch.

  • Panel order matched to the wall plan
  • Practice photo marked with fitting issues
  • Installer queries logged against one job file

Site factors covered on the day

Training Day is built around the spaces local teams handle most often, from Johannesburg offices to Durban hospitality walls and Cape Town retail installations. Staff are shown how tenant rules, lift access, parking limits, and shopping-centre booking slots affect install planning. Existing brand artwork, landlord restrictions, and sign-off steps should be flagged before output begins.

Coastal moisture can affect adhesion and drying time during a test fit. On inland sites, construction dust and rough plaster often change wall prep and final wipe-down methods. Load-shedding also matters, especially when print finishing, trimming, or late dispatch is part of the same job.

Training Day file checklist

Use Training Day for onboarding new staff to wall art file paths, naming rules and artwork handoff steps.

Capture the notes straight after the session while the panel sequence, wall prep steps, and handling mistakes are still clear. Keep them with the project brief, artwork approval, and installer photos so the next handoff follows the same method. That record is especially useful when new staff join a studio team or a repeat site comes back into production.
