Translucent Adhesive Vinyl Printing

Vibrant, Durable Graphics for Illuminated Signage

Translucent adhesive vinyl is a 3 mil matte translucent material with a 2.5 mil matte lamination, designed for stunning indoor and outdoor backlit signage. Its permanent adhesive adheres securely to flat, smooth surfaces like plexiglass, acrylic, Lexan, glass, and other clear or translucent plastics, making it ideal for lightboxes, P.O.P. signs, channel letters, window displays, directional signs, and promotional signage. UV-printed and laminated for durability, this vinyl is waterproof and UV-safe, ensuring long-lasting, fade-resistant visuals in various environments. Available in single-layer printing for daytime use (colors lighten when backlit) or double-layer printing for vibrant nighttime illumination (colors appear darker without backlighting), it offers versatility for illuminated displays. For optimal results, apply to clean, flat surfaces and use with white acrylic lightboxes at night to enhance color vibrancy.

We do not print white ink. All white colors will appear as clear.

Note: Printed colors may appear slightly less vivid or transparent due to the clear vinyl material, and minor color variations may occur, as color matching is not guaranteed. Double-layered prints may initially appear much darker than the provided artwork, but colors will align more closely once the backing is removed and the vinyl is applied. The material is not 100% transparent and may retain slight visibility when adhered to clear surfaces. Once applied, the vinyl cannot be removed and reapplied, ensuring a permanent bond. For best results, apply to clean, flat, and smooth surfaces.

Vinyl is printed on a single sheet of adhesive material and is not cut into custom shapes. For example, a 24x36 inch order means the design will be printed on one full 24x36 inch sheet without individual cutouts.

What is Translucent Adhesive Vinyl made of?

Translucent Adhesive Vinyl is a 3 mil matte translucent vinyl with a 2.5 mil matte lamination, UV-printed with single or double-layer options for vibrant, fade-resistant graphics. Its permanent adhesive is designed for secure bonding to flat, smooth surfaces.

What surfaces can Translucent Adhesive Vinyl be applied to?

It adheres best to flat, smooth surfaces like plexiglass, acrylic, Lexan, glass, or other clear/translucent plastics. It is not suitable for textured or irregular surfaces.

Is Translucent Adhesive Vinyl suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the vinyl is waterproof and UV-safe, ensuring long-lasting, fade-resistant performance for both indoor and outdoor backlit signage applications.

Should I use white or clear acrylic for my lightbox?

For optimal results in lightboxes, use white acrylic. Clear acrylic is not recommended.

What’s the difference between single-layer and double-layer printing?

Single-layer printing is ideal for daytime use, as colors lighten when backlit. Double-layer printing is designed for nighttime use with a lightbox, offering vibrant illumination but appearing darker in daylight or without backlighting.

Can I remove and reposition the vinyl?

No, once the vinyl is applied, it cannot be removed and repositioned. The clear permanent adhesive forms a strong bond with the surface, ensuring a lasting application but preventing repositioning.

Can you cut the vinyl into custom shapes?

No, our vinyl is printed on a single sheet of adhesive material and is not cut into custom shapes. For example, a 24x36 inch order will be one complete 24x36 inch sheet with your design, without individual cutouts.

The size I need isn’t listed?

Select the next available size up and trim it to your desired dimensions using standard cutting tools for a precise fit.

Can I print multiple designs on one sheet?

Yes. Arrange your smaller designs together in a single artboard at your chosen size. The designs will be printed as one full sheet of vinyl, and you can trim each design to size once received

Looking for a size larger than what’s listed?

Order multiple sheets and align them together during installation to create a larger display.

How is the vinyl shipped?

Vinyl is rolled and shipped in a sturdy mailing tube or box to prevent creases or damage.
