Transforming Retail Space with Impactful Experiential Graphics
When NEXT launched its largest-ever retail store at Lakeside Shopping Centre – an impressive 82,000 sq ft flagship location – ARC UK was entrusted with delivering a complete promotional graphics package.
Pushing the Boundaries of Retail Graphics
The scale and ambition of this project provided an exciting challenge for the ARC Team, which duly embraced the opportunity to push creative and technical boundaries, tailoring every element to amplify the visual experience.
From bold visual storytelling on structural features to thoughtfully placed brand accentuation and promotional cues, every graphic served a purpose. The result is a dynamic, immersive environment that guides, excites, and reinforces brand loyalty – setting a clearly defined benchmark for experiential graphics in the retail sector.
The Project Brief:
Create a visually cohesive, immersive brand environment that would attract attention, notify footfall, and leave a lasting impression – all within a challenging pre-launch deadline.
Our approach combined precision, speed, and creativity. Through our comprehensive turnkey service – including full site surveying, high-quality print production, sustainable material selection, and expert installation – we delivered a powerful transformation that brought the NEXT brand to life throughout the retail environment.


ARC UK’s Turnkey Solution
1. Precision Site Surveying
We began with in-depth site surveying to capture every spatial detail with accuracy.
This critical first step informed every stage of the process – from layout mapping and print planning to custom fitting. Our team worked closely with NEXT’s internal teams to align on brand strategy and spatial objectives, ensuring a flawless outcome.


3. Seamless Installation
ARC UK’s experienced national installation team navigated the complexities of curved pillars, multi-level escalators, and high ceilings with precision and care. Every piece was installed cleanly, safely, and exactly to spec – ensuring a polished final result.


Collaboration That Drives Results
This project’s success was powered by seamless collaboration between NEXT’s internal teams and ARC UK’s project managers, surveyors, print technicians, and installation experts. By working as one, we delivered exceptional results – on time, on brand, and beyond expectations.
