Vinyl

Parts of an adhesive vinyl sheet
Most vinyl that is produced is for sign making purposes and has a pressure sensitive adhesive that allows it to attach to almost any smooth surface. These adhesive vinyl sheets are made up of three parts.

  • The vinyl itself, or the top layer, is a film of vinyl. The process used to make this film can vary greatly depending on the application and durability requirements. Most vinyl films are PVC, A.K.A. poly vinyl chloride. This is the part of the adhesive vinyl sheet that you see and contains the pigments that give it its color. Part of the process for the top part will also determine the sheen of the vinyl as well.
  • The adhesive. Below the vinyl is an adhesive layer. There are two main types of adhesive that are used to make a vinyl sheet. There are water based and solvent based adhesives. Water based adhesives are often less aggressive and removable. The solvent based adhesives are more aggressive and often called permanent adhesives. This does not mean that they will never come off, they are just harder to remove.
  • The last part is a backing. An adhesive vinyl sheet is much like an ordinary sticker. The backing material is coated with something that the adhesive will not stick to and does not cause any damage to the adhesive. This backing material is there to protect the adhesive until you are ready to apply the sheet to something.

You can print on white vinyl or plot-cut lettering and shapes out of any coloured vinyl
There are more choices in intermediate films then ever before. Our vinyls are great for banners, signs and vehicles, Each premium quality vinyl meets industry standard in durability and workability.
