Height-adjust-able workbench
Wolfcraft’s Master 600 is a multi-functional workbench that has been added to the company’s series of work-tables for both professional and DIY users. It is height-adjustable, can be tilted, and the table size can also be altered. This makes it suitable as a base for sawing or milling or hobby activities. For merchandising purposes Wolfcraft has developed a system that combines showroom and stock goods, which allows the DIY store customer to take the workbench away with him immediately after he has taken a long, hard look at it. The guidance system on posters and stopper flags gives a breakdown of the various workbenches and points out their distinguishing features.

Tile poster as sales tool
The Triles tile posters (patent pending) can be used as a valuable sales and marketing tool to make it easier for buyers to choose the floor and wall tiles they are looking for. Produced in large format and printed with multiple images of tiles in their actual sizes, complete with borders and inserts, the posters are created using the latest in digital photography and print technology to reproduce the  tile colours and glazes. Each poster is A1 in size and is supplied folded and packed into an A4 polybag with integrated display hook. These tile posters open up new possibilities for consumers to actually evaluate their chosen tiles on-site before making the decision to purchase.
