XIC @ 40! ๐
We may be stretching the celebrations out a little, but when youโve been around for 40 years, we think weโve earned it!
From our first print job to the creative branding, display and large-format projects weโre delivering today, itโs been quite a journey, and a fair bit has changed along the way!
But whatโs made the last 40 years really special isnโt just the work. Itโs the people behind it.
Our short film celebrates the talented team whose creativity, dedication and passion have shaped XIC over the last four decades, alongside the customers, suppliers and partners who have trusted us along the way.
To everyone whoโs been part of our story, thank you. We couldnโt have done it without you.
Hereโs to the next chapterโฆ

First impressions extend beyond the front desk.
We recently partnered with Oceanscan Group to transform their warehouse into a professional, branded environment - integrating custom racking panels, durable steel signage, and specialist graphics throughout.
The result? A cohesive space that strengthens brand recognition for teams and visitors alike.

We think youโll agree this branded gazebo looked great set against the stunning backdrop of Aberlour House.
We recently supplied Walkers Shortbread with this eye-catching setup for the event, creating a strong visual presence and a welcoming space that reflected the brand beautifully.
If you are planning an upcoming event, we would love to help bring your branding to life.

Bold, bright and impossible to miss. ๐
We loved working with Komoo on a custom tray sign for their latest Aberdeen site - clean lines, strong colour and a finish that really showcases their vibrant brand.

๐ Bringing the outdoors in ๐
We transformed a small, windowless office with custom wall art vinyl featuring Glencoe, the MDโs favourite place.
The space now feels calmer, brighter and far more enjoyable to work in โ a simple change with a big impact on mood and wellbeing. Happy boss, happy workplace! ๐

From blank wall to brand statement.
This wallscape installation was all about bringing our client @OEGโs new identity into their everyday environment.
Printed and installed in their office space, the design not only showcases their updated branding but visually reflects their core operations - creating a space that feels unmistakably theirs.

Not your average display project ๐
We partnered with Greenwell to transform a modular cabin with custom-designed vinyl graphics, taking it from purely practical to seriously eye-catching.
From concept through to installation, every detail was designed to create a bold, professional presence on-site.
A functional unit turned into a bold, on-site brand presence.

Looking back at a favourite project with IK Group ๐จ a bespoke colour guidelines swatch book created to keep their brand consistent across every channel. From print to digital, it gives their teams and suppliers a clear reference for getting colour right every time.

โจ Another retail refresh complete โจ
We recently produced and installed some architectural vinyl for Duncan and Todd Group to transform an existing counter surface in a retail space - giving it a clean, modern finish without the need for replacement.
A smart, cost effective way to refresh tired interiors while keeping downtime to a minimum. Delighted with how this one turned out and always great to see quality materials delivering a big visual impact.
If youโre looking to upgrade your space, architectural vinyl is a versatile solution worth considering.

โจ Reception refresh complete โจ
We recently enhanced a circular reception desk by applying printed PVC panels directly onto the existing glass, giving the area a smarter, more cohesive look without the need for replacement.
A simple but effective solution that adds visual impact, improves durability, and refreshes the space while keeping disruption to a minimum. Proof that thoughtful print can completely elevate first impressions.

Weโre thrilled to welcome Trish to the team as our new Financial Controller! ๐
As we say a fond farewell to Claire, Trish joins us with strong experience and will support the team across finance and administrative duties.
Weโre looking forward to her becoming a key part of the team, helping to support our continued growth and keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement, Claire! ๐ โค๏ธ
It`s with heavy hearts that we announce the departure of one of our treasured and long-serving colleagues, Claire Campbell.
Working with us as a Financial Controller for the past 27 years, she has been an invaluable member of our team.
Here`s what she had to say about her time at XIC:
"I took a wee part-time job in accounts with Xpress Print, a vibrant local printer, in 1999 and appear to have stayed for 27 years!
"Throughout this time the company went through many changes and challenges - and even a new identity when it changed to XIC.
"I would like to thank Murray and Jason, who I have worked with through their advancement from hands-on production to where the company is now. I am proud to have been part of this journey, but it is now my time to go - with lots of exciting things planned, like trips to Italy and Tasmania.
"I am very grateful for my time at XIC and for the team, having matured and greyed alongside some of them over the years!"

Four decades in business is definitely something to celebrate ๐
Over the years, print has certainly changed - and so have we. From evolving client priorities to advances in machinery and continued investment in our team, one thing has remained constant: our dedication to creativity, innovation and impact.
Our managing director, Murray Alexander, recently reflected on how XIC has adapted and embraced change over the past 40 years.
