Evénements / 2025, 2 June

The visual appearance of trains is a real vector of communication and brand value. However, modernising a rail carriage represents a logistical and, above all, a budgetary headache. Indeed, re-spraying a train can be costly, time-consuming and inconvenient, as it can lead to lengthy downtime.

This is why a fast, flexible and durable solution is called for: self-adhesive film to wrap trains. By using technical self-adhesive films, such as those offered by HEXIS, it is possible to transform the visual appearance of a train without causing lengthy downtime.
