DESCRIPTION
1295 mm Glossy Translucent Vinyl for Backlit Signage, 120 µm
1295 mm Glossy Translucent Vinyl for Backlit Signage, 120 µm is a self-adhesive printable PVC media designed for light boxes, illuminated signs and commercial backlit displays. Its glossy surface and translucent construction support printed graphics intended to be viewed with backlighting while remaining suitable for daytime visual presentation.
■ What Is Translucent Vinyl for Backlit Signage?
Translucent vinyl is a printable self-adhesive media designed to transmit light through the printed graphic rather than completely block the illumination behind it.
When installed on a compatible light-box face, illuminated sign surface or other suitable translucent substrate, backlighting can pass through the vinyl and printed image to create an illuminated advertising graphic.
This makes translucent vinyl fundamentally different from blockout printable vinyl. Blockout media is selected when background visibility needs to be reduced, while translucent media is used when controlled light transmission forms part of the finished signage design.
This 1295 mm version uses 120 µm glossy PVC with acrylic adhesive and a double PE-coated release liner. It is supplied in a 45 m roll and supports solvent, eco-solvent and UV printing workflows.
■ Why Use Translucent Vinyl for Backlit Graphics?
Light Transmission
The translucent PVC construction is designed for signage applications where illumination needs to pass through the printed graphic.
Glossy Appearance
The glossy printable surface provides a bright visual finish for illuminated advertising and commercial display graphics.
Day & Night Presentation
Designed for signage where the printed graphic may be viewed both before and after the lighting system is switched on.

■ Which Roll Width Should You Choose?
Because the three products use the same 120 µm glossy translucent construction, width selection should primarily be based on printer capacity and finished sign dimensions.
- 940 mm: Suitable when a narrower roll format meets the finished graphic dimensions.
- 1295 mm: A mid-width option for commercial light boxes, illuminated displays and general large-format backlit production.
- 1550 mm: Suitable when wider media is required for larger illuminated graphics.
Always confirm the printer's supported media width, trimming allowance and finished light-box dimensions before selecting a roll size.
■ Translucent Vinyl vs Blockout Printable Vinyl
The main difference is how each media type interacts with light.
| Feature | Translucent Vinyl | Blockout Printable Vinyl |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Backlit and illuminated graphics | Reduce or conceal background show-through |
| Interaction with Light | Designed to transmit light through the graphic | Designed for opaque or background-blocking applications |
| Typical Applications | Light boxes, illuminated signs and backlit displays | Signboards, opaque displays, wall and advertising graphics |
■ Printing & Application Notes
- Select appropriate printer, ink and media settings for solvent, eco-solvent or UV printing.
- Evaluate the printed graphic both with and without backlighting before final production.
- Confirm that the sign face or mounting surface is suitable for translucent backlit graphics.
- Allow printed media to dry or cure according to the printer and ink supplier recommendations.
- Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry and free from dust, oil and contaminants.
- Test adhesion and visual appearance on the actual sign material before full production.
