Polyester 1 mil - Clear - U.L.® Recognized
A 1 mil gloss clear polyester film, particularly well suited to industrial applications where label may be subjected to physical stress or heat. Depending on surface applied to, heat resistance ranges up to 302°F (Contact us for exact specifications on your application).
Will accept any of our printing colors or foils, however to maintain U~~L~~ recognition, contact us to make sure the printing resins are U~~L~~ recognized as well.
1 mil is very thin film; it is easier to handle to 2 mil clear polyester.
Specify Reverse Printing if you want decals to read correctly when applied to and read through glass.
- Tough polyester resistant to heat, tearing, abrasion, and stretch. Best for very flat, smooth surfaces as it will not conform to uneven surfaces.
- Adhesive: Permanent
- Outdoor Rate: 2 Year
- Stretch Resist: 5

Polyester 2 mil - Metalized Matte Silver - U.L.® Recognized
A 2 mil silver metalized polyester film, great for asset tags, nameplates, product labeling, particularly well suited to industrial applications where label may be subjected to physical stress or heat. Depending on surface applied to, heat resistance ranges up to 303°F. (Contact us for exact specifications on your application). Will accept any of our printing colors or foils, however to maintain U~~L~~ recognition, contact us to make sure the resin colors you choose are U~~L~~ recognized as well. When printing on colored materials, white must be printed as a primer to achieve standard color rendition; silver tone will also change color tone of less opaque colors.Because it is metalized, this polyester will conduct electricity and is not suitable for the backs of printed circuit boards where label is applied over electrical contacts.
- Tough polyester resistant to heat, tearing, abrasion, and stretch. Best for very flat, smooth surfaces as it will not conform to uneven surfaces.
- Adhesive: Permanent
- Outdoor Rate: 2 Year
- Stretch Resist: 5

Polyester 2 mil - Brushed Gold - U.L.® Recognized
A 2 mil brushed gold polyester film, great for nameplates, product labeling, particularly well suited to industrial applications where label may be subjected to physical stress or heat. Depending on surface applied to, heat resistance ranges up to 257°F (Contact us for exact specifications on your application).
Will accept any of our printing colors or foils, however to maintain U~~L~~ recognition, contact us to make sure the colors you choose are U~~L~~ recognized as well. When printing on colored materials, white must be printed as a primer to achieve standard color rendition; brushed appearance will show through "transparent" colors, but gold tone will also change color tone of less opaque colors.Not recommended for outdoor use.

Lexan® 10 mil -Clear
Nameplates, Membrane Switchpads, Graphic Overlays, and more. Semi-rigid, clear 10 mil Lexan® (polycarbonate), with a lustrous velvet finish on the top surface. Material will be printed on the bottom side (subsurface printing), providing maximum protection to the printed image once adhered to application surface. Most applications require a flood coat of white as last layer to maintain color rendition of top colors. Accepts all our printing colors, except Gold or Silver Medal Foil. Outdoor exposure may cause yellowing of polycarbonate, so must be considered for outdoor use. Specify laminating adhesive if peel and stick adhesive is required (thin for smooth, thick for slightly rough or uneven surfaces).
- Adhesive: None - Must be applied
- Outdoor Rate: No
- Stretch Resist: 5

LexSaver™ Overlaminate - Substrate Combination
Lexsaver® is not actually a printable substrate, but rather our unique process of combining a 5 mil velvet Lexan® overlaminate with any of our standard substrates. The most common substrate is 2 mil white polyester, and when used in place of Subsurface Printed Lexan®, a control panel or nameplate produced with the LexSaver™ process can be more economical for jobs which would otherwise require a white floodcoat and which have a large number of internal cutouts.
- Adhesive: None - Must be applied
- Outdoor Rate: 3-5 Year
- Stretch Resist: 5
