Self-adhesive vinyl printing
We print advertising and decorative graphics on self-adhesive PVC vinyl for shop windows, exhibition stands, restaurants, offices, displays and vehicles. Choose gloss, matt or clear vinyl depending on where it goes and how long it needs to last.
Vinyl printing for indoor and outdoor advertising
Self-adhesive PVC vinyl is a thin film with adhesive on the back. We print it on HP Latex and UV wide format printers, trim it to size, and it sticks directly to glass, metal, plastic or painted surfaces.
There are three main classes. Monomeric vinyl is for flat surfaces and short to medium-term advertising. Polymeric vinyl lasts longer outdoors and handles gentle curves. Cast vinyl is the most conformable and is used for vehicles and complex shapes.
To protect the print from scratches, moisture and UV light, we recommend a laminate of the same class. If your graphic is lettering or a logo without a background, see vinyl cutting.
Where printed vinyl is used

Vinyl printing FAQ
Which vinyl should I choose for a shop window, and which for a vehicle?
Monomeric vinyl is usually enough for shop windows and flat surfaces. For vehicles with curves, long outdoor use or full wraps, polymeric or cast vinyl is used. Tell us where it will go and for how long, and we will suggest the right one.
Do I need a laminate?
For outdoor advertising, vehicles and places that get touched a lot, we recommend it. Laminate protects the print from scratches, moisture and fading. See the types of laminate.
What file format should I send?
JPEG, TIFF, PSD, CDR, EPS or PDF, without transparency or layers, at around 150 dpi at print size. More in our file requirements. If you do not have artwork, we can prepare it, see services.
What are the minimum order and lead time?
The minimum order is 1 m². The standard lead time is up to 3 working days, and express production is available on request.
Do you install the vinyl?
Yes, we apply graphics to windows, walls and vehicles on site. Finished graphics can also be shipped with Speedy or Econt, see delivery.
