Project Name: The Christ Child Society

Product Type: Custom Design - Custom Window Film

Goal: Limit visibility into the space while achieving complete privacy for their clients, and maintaining the brightness provided by the sun.

Result/Solution: Olee Creative worked with the Christ Child building committee to develop custom window films and graphics for their new Mishawaka location. The agency supplies new clothing, shoes and coats to over 4,000 under-resourced children every year in the South Bend Mishawaka area. They had outgrown their existing space and had an opportunity to take over a large storefront in the Town and Country Shopping Center. The storefront had oversized windows that let a lot of light into the space, but offered no privacy. The agency has a well-known brand and uses “paper doll kids” for their Clothe-a-Child Campaign each Fall.

Olee selected 3M’s etchmark window film which would offer the privacy needed, while allowing sunlight and brightness to come into the space. The Olee Team provided some design options, developed all of the artwork and printed a variety of brightly colored kids on panels for each window. In order to achieve complete privacy, the custom window film was installed 6 feet high by Olee’s install team. Many windows were very large in width, so an extra panel of plain etch was installed above the kid panel to increase the height without needing a splice. The result is a colorful, private and fun storefront that reinforces the agency’s brand, while maintaining the desired privacy and brightness that everyone was looking for.

“Olee Creative and Valley Screen have been a generous partner to the Christ Child Society for many years, providing their services to die-cut our Mitten Kids for our annual Clothe-a-Child II fundraiser. Because of their understanding of our mission and brand, it was a logical choice for us to select them to design and install the window film for our new location in the Town and Country Shopping Center. The windows look amazing--we could not have been happier with the work of their design team and installer."
