Custom Acrylic Café Partition for Apple Tree Café Stanthorpe
At Prolab, we love helping hospitality venues create functional spaces that also strengthen their brand. Recently, we worked with the team at Apple Tree Café at the Stanthorpe RSL to design and produce a custom acrylic partition that delivers both durability and visual impact.
This project showcases how high-quality print, precision fabrication, and thoughtful design can transform a simple screen into a standout feature.
Understanding the Client’s Vision
The Stanthorpe RSL team wanted a partition that would:
- Provide a practical and hygienic barrier between café areas
- Reinforce their Apple Tree Café branding
- Reflect the local Granite Belt region
- Be robust enough for a busy hospitality environment
- Remain easy to clean and maintain
They also wanted something that felt welcoming and family-friendly, aligning with their Giggles & Apples playroom concept.
From Concept to Final Design
Our process began with initial artwork concepts that blended:
- Apple orchard imagery
- Local Granite Belt landscape photography
- The Apple Tree Café logo
- A vibrant, approachable colour palette
Through collaborative feedback, we refined the design to create a balanced and cohesive look. The final concept featured:
- A bold, repeating apple pattern across the front panel
- A strong central logo as the focal point
- High-resolution regional imagery across the side panels
This approach ensured the screen worked as both a functional barrier and a strong brand statement.
Precision Fabrication and Print Production
Once the artwork was approved, we moved into production. The screen was fabricated from premium clear acrylic and constructed in a U-shaped configuration to sit securely on the café bench.
Key production features included:
- High-resolution large-format printing for crisp colour and detail
- Protective lamination for durability and easy cleaning
- Precision application of graphics for a seamless finish
- Strong internal framing to ensure stability and longevity
- Careful packaging for safe freight to regional Queensland
This combination ensures the partition can withstand daily use while maintaining a professional appearance.
Why Acrylic Partitions Work for Hospitality
Acrylic screens have become a popular solution for cafés, restaurants, and clubs. They offer several advantages:
Hygiene and Cleanability
The laminated surface allows for frequent cleaning with standard hospitality disinfectants without damaging the graphics.
Durability
Unlike temporary materials, acrylic provides long-term performance in busy environments.
Brand Visibility
Custom graphics turn a practical screen into a powerful branding opportunity.
Flexibility
These partitions can be designed to suit different layouts, counter shapes, and service areas.
A Standout Result for Apple Tree Café
The finished partition delivers a vibrant, welcoming presence while supporting hygiene and operational needs. It integrates seamlessly into the café environment and reflects the character of the Stanthorpe region.
The Apple Tree Café team now has a practical solution that enhances their customer experience and strengthens their brand.
