Very short term window graphics

[rfulford]

I am in need of a 1 step replacement for the following process. I am currently printing on 13oz smooth blockout vinyl and applying GBC Artic Low Tack. The product is a trade show window graphic that can be applied quickly with little labor and no worries about stretching or bubbles. The term of the graphic is approximately 1 week. The client insists that the product be matte, low tac or cling, little to no stretch and have some light blocking capability such as a gray adhesive at the least. Any ideas?

If its not going on a window and you got good ink coverage Phototex fits the bill.

Matt from advantage sign supply (a long time Signs 101 supporter) was just telling me about a low-tack removable window film the other day, for possible use in place of static cling on a job I inquired about. I don't have any more details, but Matt Mollenbeek is in their Grand Rapids location, so you could give him a call.

We use the 6 mil wall films for project like this. We tried both Oracal and Avery. We prefer the avery 2611. No lamination or transfer tape required because of the 6 mil thickness.

Fantastic! Thanks for the options guys. I will look into them all.

Does it have to be used again, or just removed easily? We use 3621 all day long for short term removable things. Don't even have to heat it up and it will peel right off.

These will never be used again. They will go up and come down within 3 to 5 days typically. Ease of installation and removal is big here. These guys want to be able to apply 30 or so clings as fast as possible.

On another note, I looked at the Avery 2611 and I think I will pitch it to my client but it lacks the gray adhesive the client is wants. Same thing with Wall Noodle. Occasionally, these go back to back on the window inside & outside windows.
