FINISH

VINYLS: The natural finish or sheen of calendared and cast vinyls is a semi-gloss regardless of color. Once printed, the label will not be glossy or completely non-reflective. For a glossy, matte, or velvet textured finish, consider adding an overlaminate.

POLYESTERS: Polyesters are available in white semi-gloss, brushed silver and matte silver finishes.

LEXAN® POLYCARBONATE: A velvet textured matte finish providing additional UV protection.
