Whether you are already familiar with film materials or need help finding the right product, our experts will identify the best solution for your application.

  • Polycarbonate Film: Polycarbonate film is known to be highly impact-resistant, scratch-resistant, optically clear, hard-coated, and flame-retardant. It is ideally suited for applications such as membrane switches, cluster panels, nameplates, face shields, decals, and more.

  • Overlaminate and Adhesive Films: Overlaminate and Adhesive Films are primarily used in printed applications for mounting, laminating, and encapsulating. These films are applied to the top or front side of an image or product to provide protection from abrasion, moisture, and other potentially damaging effects in both indoor and outdoor environments.

  • Polyester Film: Polyester Film exhibits good chemical resistance, is tough, durable, and has great dimensional stability. PET film can be die cut or laser cut, and some specific PET film is also FDA approved. Some common applications include cluster panels, ID tags, membrane switches, nameplates, face shields, and more.

  • Polyethylene Film: Polyethylene Film exhibits great tape adhesion, lightweight durability, and is resistant to water, rot, wrinkles, and chemicals. Because of these characteristics, PE film is commonly used as a protective barrier application for renovations, pest control, agricultural coverings, and others.

  • Rigid Vinyl Film (PVC): Rigid Vinyl Film, also known as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), comes in rigid and flexible forms. It is a thermoplastic polymer known for its excellent flame retardance, strength, and impact resistance, making it the perfect solutions for construction, packaging, signage, and bank cards.
