Digital Print Media Introduction

Features, Benefits and Applications

Polyester films:

Polyester's heat stability, resistance to water and chemicals, durability and tear resistance make it the ideal film for brochures, catalogues and manuals, overhead transparencies, menu cards or maps, or for labels or tags. Polyester films are available in white, matte and glossy silver, gold, and clear appearances.

Rigid vinyl films:

Vinyl is suitable for high opacity items such as shelf danglers, P.O.P. signs, promotional items and business cards.

Styrene

High impact polystyrene offers an economical substrate for applications such as backlit signs, indoor signage/posters; shelf danglers name tags and business cards. The films handle easily, an advantage for die-cutting, guillotines and cut and punch processes, whilst print (corona) treatment on the reverse side increases printing flexibility.

PVC

PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride or vinyl) is a good choice for durable but price sensitive applications, such as mouse pads, membership cards, plant signs etc. UV stabilized grades can be used for out door applications, and can also be provided with a scuff resistant coating.

YUPO

YUPO is a white synthetic paper with no wood pulp content that combines the appearance and feel of paper with the durability of film. This substrate combines the advantages of a plastic substrate with an attractive price. YUPO is ideal for those applications where paper just won’t last: maps, menus, luggage tags, banners, ID cards and plant and flower tags.
