Flex printing is a popular large-format digital printing technique that uses flexible, durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride) substrate material to create outdoor and indoor signage, banners, hoardings, and display stands.
Key Material Types
- Frontlit Flex: Designed for light sources aimed directly at the front of the banner. Used for non-illuminated billboards, wall wraps, and standard banners.
- Backlit Flex: Translucent material designed for lightboxes and illuminated signages where light shines through from behind.
- Blockout Flex: Opaque material with a black middle layer that prevents light penetration, allowing high-contrast double-sided printing.
- Star Flex / Glossy Flex: High-grade flex material providing richer color saturation, higher durability, and a glossy premium finish.
