Plastic Materials for Printing and Graphics
Curbell Plastics supplies plastic film and sheet with excellent ink adhesion for both durable and disposal graphic applications. Choose from a wide range of high quality materials available for all printing methods including screen printing, digital printing, and offset lithography. These materials have excellent lay flat characteristics and dimensional stability for precise registration. Materials are available to work with a wide variety of ink systems with various color and surface texture options.
Applications with a long service life such as membrane switch overlays, permanent labels, and automotive instrument panels need to last. They require high quality, durable materials such as polycarbonate and polyester film, polycarbonate and acrylic sheet, high impact polystyrene, and expanded PVC.
Shorter service life applications such as holiday retail signage, shelf talkers, and political campaign signs can often utilize materials such as fluted polypropylene (Coroplast®) and foam boards (Fome-Cor®). These sheet materials are competitively priced and often in stock for quick delivery.
