1550 mm Glossy Translucent Vinyl for Backlit Signage, 120 μm

■ 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 different from blockout printable vinyl. Blockout media is intended to reduce or conceal background visibility, while translucent media is selected when controlled light transmission forms part of the finished signage design.

This 1550 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.

• Confirm that the printer supports 1550 mm media or the required printable width.
• Measure the finished light-box or illuminated sign face before selecting media width.
• Include trimming and installation allowance when calculating the required roll width.
• A wider roll may help reduce paneling requirements for some large-format illuminated graphics.
• Consider the 23 kg roll weight when planning material handling and storage.

■ Translucent Vinyl vs Blockout Printable Vinyl

The key difference is how each media type interacts with light.
