Print high-quality graphics on vinyl materials 

Vinyl printing is a popular method of creating high-quality, durable and versatile printed graphics on vinyl materials.

 Vinyl printing has gained popularity in the advertising, signage, and marketing industries due to its versatility, durability, and vibrant printing capabilities. The adhesive-backing of vinyl allows for easy application and adherence to various substrates, including walls, windows, vehicles, floors, signage, and more. 

Key benefits of vinyl printing  

DURABILITY

Vinyl graphics are highly durable and resistant to fading, scratching and weathering. They withstand outdoor conditions and exposure to UV rays, making them suitable for long-term applications.

VERSATILITY

Vinyl printing is used for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications, including vehicle wraps, window graphics, wall decals, floor graphics, signage, banners and promotional displays.

COST-EFFECTIVENESS

Vinyl printing is a cost-effective solution for large-format prints, especially compared to other traditional printing methods such as screen printing. It offers excellent value for money without compromising quality. 
  

EASY REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT

Depending on the type of vinyl used, graphics can be easily removed without damaging the underlying surface, making it possible to reposition or update graphics as needed. 

Challenges of vinyl printing

Various types of vinyl materials are available for printing, each with specific levels of permanence or repositionability. Common options include calendared vinyl (suitable for short-term applications) or cast vinyl (ideal for long-term projects or curved surfaces).

The main difficulty of wrapping projects is successfully managing the installation of the graphic onto the substrate. Proper surface preparation and installation techniques are crucial to ensure a smooth and professional-looking result.
