We supply a complete service for the printing and finishing of display graphics, bannerstands, popup displays and point-of-sale units. All our graphics are printed by high quality inkjet on the best materials available.
All banner graphics and popup displays are printed on either 125mic or 300mic K.Opaljet. This is a white/grey Melinex opaque film with a white matt coating to the front, the grey reverse side acts as a stoplight barrier, to prevent light passing through the film, in addition the film has an anti-curl backcoat for improved stability. The film is then laminated with Deep Crystal a 150mic crystal textured satin finish, ideal for reducing glare and is scuff and scratch resistant. All other graphics are printed on 190gsm photographic grade paper with a matt laminate.
