Print Light Box Signage, Window Graphics and Floor Graphics

The semi-translucency in window vinyl film is a unique quality that allows for the materials to catch and distribute any light that appears behind the film. Whatever type of design, if printed on polyester backlit film it will appear crisp and clear to all possible viewers regardless of distance. The vibrancy of the colours is also a detail to note when considering backlit signage options.

When displaying a graphic of any kind, whether it is text-heavy or makes use of images, customers strive for the best representation of their signage or display.

A simple poster may not be the best choice for every scenario and every advertisement on display. Backlit film is a material upon which graphics or text can be printed so that when light shines through from behind the design lights up.

Many customers assume that the process is expensive and tedious for converting a design into signage that can function in a lightbox and that allows it to be seen at night as well as during the day.

What they do not know is that printable film can be an incredibly cost-effective strategy for advertisement and an aesthetically pleasing design element for decorative signage.

Shop owners or businesses with a lightbox display utilise backlit printable film to display their messages more prominently during both day and night.

Restaurants utilise backlit film to display menu options outside or inside the building, bus stops display map features on a backlit film placed on a light source, and even museums find use in the properties of backlit signage.

Its semi-translucency is a unique quality that allows for the materials to catch and distribute any light that appears behind the film, no matter how faint or distant. Whatever type of design, if printed on high-resolution backlit film it will appear crisp and clear to all possible viewers regardless of distance. The vibrancy of the colours is also a detail to note when considering backlit signage options. Midcomp Consumables’ backlit film is a 200-micron High-resolution Matt film of 1.3m x 50m for light box applications.

The high-resolution coating gives a vibrancy to colours and designs that make it an extremely eye-catching and impressive display.

The high-resolution properties also offer an impressive grading and smoothness of colour tones that gives you a display of very high quality. When it comes to extremely high-quality and technologically advanced film substrates, Drytac offers a range of products that are in a class of their own. Midcomp Consumables have partnered with Drytac and as the appointed distributor for Drytac printable film in Southern Africa have access to a range of some of the most innovative sign and display products on the market.

For window and glass applications, you can consider Drytac’s ViziPrint® Impress Clear 1.3m x 30m which can be re-positioned and re-applied multiple times and removes cleanly up to 3 years after installation. This optically clear printable window vinyl film is designed for trouble-free installation of graphics on glass surfaces. ViziPrint® Impress Clear utilises proprietary adhesion technology that creates a strong bond in both high and low temperatures without leaving residue behind.

This adhesion technology also eliminates bubbling and is unaffected by moisture. Since it uses a mechanical bond to gently adhere images to windows, the glass stays clear and graphics stay bright whenever ViziPrint® Impress Clear is repositioned and re-applied. This printable film is ideal for high-quality decals, signage and retail window advertising, applications on glass and other smooth, flat surfaces, and interior and short-term outdoor promotions and it can even be used on electronic equipment, such as TV screens, iPad/tablet displays and computer monitors, as well as refrigerators and glass display cases.

For floor applications Midcomp Consumables supplies another innovative graphics film from Drytac, their Polar® Floor PET 170micron 1.5m x 25m which is a PVC-free print media for indoor floor graphics without the need for lamination. It boasts several post-printed anti-slip ratings and certifications, which allows for vibrant, slip-resistant floor graphics that can be applied with confidence. Polar® Floor PET 170 has been specifically developed to be tear-resistant and can even withstand high-heel shoes and pallet jacks.

Thanks to its uniquely developed adhesive, Polar® Floor PET 170 is easy to apply, dimensionally stable, and can be repositioned while installing. It has an optimised adhesive for floor graphics to give easy application and removal and you have no need for an overlaminate. Another important factor is that Polar floor pet contains up to 40% internal industrial recycled content and is fire-rated to en 13501-1. Window vinyl film applications are varied even for a floor graphic and include ceramic tiles, sealed wood, concrete, waxed vinyl, and even short pile carpets.
