"Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." In the boxing world, this phrase denotes a fighter who is light on his feet, yet powerful. The description also applies to expanded PVC, a substrate commonly used in a wide range of signage applications. It's flat and lightweight, yet strong and dense.
Here's more about expanded PVC, and how you can use it to create a winning POP or other signage application.
Advantages
- Durable - Expanded PVC is built to last through many a shopping season. Unlike other mounting substrates, resilient PVC will not pillow and pinch at the edges when die cut.
- Versatile - Available in a range of colors and thicknesses (though 3 and 6mm are most common).
- Space-efficient - PVC grabs attention at the point-of-sale while taking up little space
Applications
Many of Apex Die's finishing solutions can be applied to expanded PVC – or the carrier sheet that's mounted to it - to add value and visual intrigue. A few you might consider:
- Die Cutting – Create attention-grabbing signage by die cutting your expanded PVC into distinctive shapes. Die-cut panels, windows, pockets, and other add-ons can also easily be applied.
- Film Laminating – More durability, more visual appeal…there are many reasons why laminating is a popular choice for mounted POP displays. Laminating is applied to a carrier sheet before it's mounted to the expanded PVC substrate. At Apex Die, we offer a wide range of laminate films and finishes to visually match your brand identity.
Other finishing solutions that can be applied to mounted carrier sheets include:
- Foil Stamping
- Embossing/Debossing
- UV Coating
- And More!
