Image/Part Wrap Advice Please

Posted by Joseph Helm on 7 October 2008 at 12:47

Hi

I’ve done some van signs in vinyl cut out, but I have a customer that wants a large printed image put on the sides and back of the van (around 1.5mx0.5m)

I’ve got some Xerox white Gloss Self Adhesive vinyl I can print on to, but will I need to lamiate it, to stop it getting runied outdoors?

Or do I need to use another type of vinyl?

Thanks

Joseph

all vehicle graphics require a laminate unless they are short term promotional graphics.

you have posted this in the wrap forum, so i am assuming you will be wrapping this vinyl? This being the case the vinyl you have chosen will not be suitable to wrap with.
when wrapping, you mus use the equivalent laminate to the wrap vinyl.

Thanks Rob

We did some tests with the stuff (xerox told us it would work) and decided we will get some proper 3M vinyl and laminate.

Can you recommend a good laminator?

Thanks again
