Materials & Lamination

With today's digital processes, it is possible to print on a large variety of materials and substrates.

Large format poster paper

We use two main materials for giant poster printing, as follows:

  • 170g BLUE BACK SILK POSTER PAPER...
    A specialist opaque blue-backed paper designed for billboarding, hanging and encasing with a silk finish.
  • 170g WHITE BACK SILK POSTER PAPER
    a good all round robust poster paper designed for conventional indoor use, with a silk finish.
  • 220g GLOSS OR SILK POSTER PHOTOBASE PAPER
    A high quality, thicker photographic paper, ideal for the ultimate in image quality.

Display Panel Mounting

Prints are produced on solvent or Latex adhesive vinyl and mounted onto lightweight foamex (Forex) available in 3mm, 5mm, 6mm and 10mm thicknesses, offering a rigid, durable, smooth-surfaced board which is also weatherproof when sealed with a laminate.

Laminating & Coating

To enhance durability, as standard, all mounted displays are laminated with either a gloss or matt finish. Our laminates are guaranteed outdoors up to 5 years. Unmounted prints (posters) can also be laminated to create a gloss or matt finish (not to be confused with encapsulation).

Pull-up Banner Material

All our roll-up banner graphics are printed on 300micron substrate have a built-in anti-glare/anti-scratch property. This eliminates the need for costly lamination and is also more environmentally friendly.

Inks

All inks used are solvent-based or Latex and are waterproof, being guaranteed against fade for up to 5 years.
