Material selection can
be overwhelming, especially when serving the sophisticated
needs of customers and you want to secure the best price in
order to win a bid. To help you choose materials for a variety
of purposes and indoor and outdoor settings, we offer the
following guidelines.
Grand
Image vinyls have reinforcement scrim, a material that
makes vinyl tear resistant. Our 13 oz. vinyl can be used for
a wide variety of applications because the scrim is very strong.
Our 15 oz. vinyl, while “heavier,” provides less
durability outdoors because the scrim is not as strong, but
it allows for an extra smooth printing surface suitable for
indoor graphics. The 18 oz. stock is heavy and also has a
strong scrim, perfect for double-sided printing for outdoor
graphics. Mesh vinyl is used when wind needs to pass through
the material and is usually preferred over printing on a vinyl
and cutting wind vents.
Fabric
graphics range in opacity, stiffness and surface smoothness.
Self-adhesive vinyl films vary depending on the surface to
be adhered to and can be laminated for incidental abrasions
or even foot traffic. Canvas graphics offer artistic outputs
and represent a great alternative to vinyl graphics for either
indoors or outdoors. While some materials can print double
sided, we also can stitch two pieces of almost any material
back to back and add a liner for opacity.
