SELF ADHESIVE VINYL LETTERING

To produce cost effective and professional looking signs, a lot of people use vinyl
lettering. Vinyl can be cut into almost shape or font you desire. This can then be stuck
onto any surface - depending on the type of vinyl and its durability. Vinyl comes in a
range of vinyl colours and shades.

Types of Vinyl

Exhibition Vinyl
This vinyl is a soft PVC film with a matt surface. It is ideal for use in die-cut and
computer systems for both short and medium term outdoor application, for displays and
exhibition stands. The adhesive is temporary, so you can easily remove the vinyl after
use. It comes on a backing paper which has one side coated with silicone - this makes
removal of the vinyl from the backing paper that much easier. After application, it is
expected to last for upto 3 years.

Banner Vinyl
Banner vinyl is a very flexible PVC film with a silk - matt surface and has been
specifically developed for short to medium-term lettering and decoration, on a range of
flexible plastic surfaces. In order to make application as painless as possible, it is
recommended that it is applied wet. The adhesive is permanent so as to prevent removal
by the weather or otherwise. The backing paper is silicone coated on one side to make
removal of the vinyl effortless. This vinyl is expected to last upto 3 years after
application.

Intermediate Vinyl
This is available with both a glossy and matt surface, both are special PVC films. Because
of it’s “special release” characteristics, it is ideal for use in die-cut and computer-cut
systems. For outdoor use, it is better for only short to medium-term applications, but
indoors, it will last much longer. The backing paper is silicone coated on one side fo easy
removal of the vinyl. For black and white vinyls in this series, the service life can be upto
5 years, transparent, coloured and metallics - 4 years.

Premium Cast
This vinyl is a high performance cast PVC film, with excellent dimensional stability,
meaning it is much more conformable to uneven, or dipped surfaces. It has a high gloss
finish, but the black and white are also available in a matt finish. It is ideal for jobs that
require durability and solidity, and is also particularly suitable for vehicle and public
transport system advertising. The gloss finished surface is more suitable for thermal
transfer (with resin ribbons) than the matt finish. The adhesive is permanent. It comes on
a one-sided silicone paper for easy removal. The black and white vinyls are expected to
last upto 10 years after application, and the coloured, 8 years.
